Hey folks, I've been offline for about three weeks or a bit more. Here's where I've been: Writing four consecutive papers, the last assignments of my M.A.; Grading two sections' worth of final papers; Helping my wife with third trimester; Helping my wife teach our first kid half the alphabet...

Slow breathing. The man in front of her hadn’t noticed the predator skulking behind him yet. A crazed woman, a cold heart, the fire-inducing stare of death and the stiletto to perform a once-in-a-lifetime symphony of silence. It had been a long time since she had felt this thirst. The...

The Lonely Zeltron I remember seeing him, Tiberius Rex across the cantina he looked so lost being in there, like it was his very first time in a cantina. He was celebrating and looking for someone to celebrate with so, I helped him. His limited experiences gave me free reign to show him a...

Normally under any other circumstances I would keep quiet about general things related to this type of subject. But, I live here. This is my home. This person and his brother lived here for years under the guise of citizens. Attended college, made friends, built trust and relationships with...
