Writing

Ripe for revolt

Through the slits in the drapes, a disinterested Paris sent the soft, orange light of a freezing Christmas Eve.

The night before D-Day

In the unencumbered joy of his youth, he recalled sitting with his father on the beaches near Saujon, watching the grey fronts roll in, snarling against the force of the summer northerlies.

The get-well seat

There they used the heaving ocean as a tool to prise open boxes full of treasured memories of their youth and to reflect on the proximity of their demise.

How the law killed my writing

Those touched by the horrible truth of their mediocrity fall into three categories.

Dan's chance

The rain coaxed steam from the organs that had spilled across the asphalt in purple splashes. The blood had now mixed with the grease and oil of the garage and began to form chocolate pools.

Paris in the winter

Trees denuded by the season hunched their shoulders, stared disconsolately at the sodden streets and yearned for spring.
