Prologue - A novel in progress


Night 1.
            He came to him in a dream, wearing that same tight shirt and jeans he wore in that first picture he ever saw of him. In a sense, it was love at first sight. Fascinated by the skinny jeans, that weren’t too skinny but fit tidy, and that innocent, naïve smile, he clicked go and wrote a message that was responded almost instantly. It started there, and went somewhere and then nowhere all the same. He named him Red in his dream, because he could not remember what his name was in sleeping hours. Just as later, he would not be able to remember what his name was when he was awake, but would be able to easily tell you what his real name was.

Playing with creativity - The Luxury of Sadness


Its like things are pilling up. Rubble that has fallen from the hill is too overwhelming to take off you. Your arms are just too weak, they can’t keep up.

The air leaves your lungs, and its getting harder to breathe.
