Half Life

“–Dahmer was actually relieved when the police finally caught him.” “Oh, really?” “Yeah, because it was like a compulsion for him. Same way an alcoholic wants to stop drinking, but he can’t because he’s always thinking about that next drink.” “Sure, that’s what he said, I mean I bet his…

Susan

Susan picked up rocks and sticks on her walks through the park. “You have to get your raw materials somewhere,” she explained to herself, since no one was listening. Sometimes the rocks were plain and dull and shapeless, like the ones she’d found in the gravel as a little…

The Serpent atop the Mountain

–completely insane, I mean you can’t tell me you actually believe those superstitions. –Matters very little what I believe, in the last analysis. Mattered very little what the individual villagers on the island believed, either. –Now what do you mean by that? –I mean most of them were just as…

The Stone by the Stream (Part 33)

Clouds hung gray just above the treetops, now and then descending in banks of fog that choked out the light of the sun. Beyond the clouds, the light of the sky had climbed to the height of midmorning, yet all around a twilit gloom settled across the land. The forest…

The Stone by the Stream (Part 32)

“And how do you plan to get my daughter back to me?” The Priestess winced. Agatha sat at her right side at the table, glancing now and then at the kitchen door and through the window, where a group of Temple bodyguards stood bored at their ease. A little girl…

The Stone by the Stream (Part 31)

The Priestess awoke the next morning, trembling all over with her right hand curled into a fist as if around an invisible dagger. In the darkness of her chamber, the vapors of a fading dream drying up in her memory, she half-believed it was years ago. “Sofia…?” she whispered into…

The Stone by the Stream (Part 30)
