Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was a magician. Despite being able to create anything he could ever dream of, he was fascinated with the inner workings, the clockwork of nature.

The Ambulance In The Parking Lot
I was lying in bed. It seemed to be another night where I couldn’t risk falling asleep. Even now, I couldn’t tell you why. I’d like to believe that maybe my story is more than just a fold in the infinite vastness, and that somehow it began with a warning from the universe itself. We’llContinue reading “The Ambulance In The Parking Lot”
A Dream Shard
My dreams unfailingly show the surprising intersection of my most human desires, it’s not uncommon. A little game, between my subconscious and I.

It was your face in the most exquisitely exceptionalContinue reading “A Dream Shard”

My heart is beating rapidly, threatening to burst out my chest. I pick up the phone, and enter the number slowly. My fingers are trembling so much they can barely find the right keys, as I type in the number. I have the phone book next me, though heaven knows I don’t need it. TheContinue reading “The Telephone Call”
Dusk’s Garden
The air smells like roses and Indian jasmine. The palm trees sway gently in the wind, as I scamper through the long grass. The moon is rising in the grey sky, with just a single streak of orange left. It’s an empty field. Both in the sky and on the earth, but not at dusk.Continue reading “Dusk’s Garden”
