After the Rain
“Carrie,” Ben said. I jumped sky high and almost fell looking around. He was there about fifteen feet away, just looking at me in the middle of the sidewalk. He was not moving. I turned and almost fell on Hazel. I would have lost but instead crashed into my door with a thud. He spoke…

“Moment by Moment”
“Why are you crying?” The voice inquired. “What’s wrong, Katherine?” It was the same voice that helped her after the last home game. He spoke her name. She felt a soft, warm touch on her left shoulder. How did he know her name? She must have fallen asleep. It was possible. “Tell me what’s wrong.”…

The Day the Skyfel: Neighboring Strangers
On the coffee table sat a drawing of the cemetery. Ric turned a little to get a better view of it. It was an excellent drawing, like a photo but with more emotion, not happy emotion, but peace, silence, and loss. He glanced back at her face. She was still staring out the window. He…

Katie could hear her name being spoken. And she could feel something cold in her eye. It hurt. She moaned and tried to turn away. Myles heard her moan a second time. “Katie, it’s me Myles,” He said a little louder this time. Katie heard his voice, and she opened her eyes. She looked at…
