2007 Anthology
-
One cool morning two men began their vacation. It would be like a second honeymoon for them. Five years earlier they had promised each other unconditional love. They had celebrated the beginning of a life together. Now they were celebrating five years of success. Their trip would begin at their home in West Hollywood, an area popular among homosexuals. They fit the stereotypes well. David was the more masculine of the two. He was tall with black shoulder length hair. He worked at a gym, had a ne

Dog Food by jfalkon Andy sat out side the school coffee shop searching the advertisements in the school newspaper. He sipped his dark coffee, scanning the black letters until he found what he was looking for. Someone needed a dog and house sitter for the weekend.

After taking down all the

Buried by Jfalkon The day was deceptively warm. The midday heat felt like summer even though it was late September. Matt and his friends carried their heavy backpacks across campus. As the small group walked away from the chemistry building and towards the busy food counters they spotted a familiar face. “Hey, Princess!” shouted one of Matt’s classmates. He was referring to a feminine looking gay boy. Everyone had called him “Princess” for as long as Matt could remember. “What

“I just can’t do it!” complained Jim staring disgustedly at the bedroom wall. “Can’t do what?” asked Angel. “I can’t write this article,” answered Jim sounding annoyed, “I have writer’s block!” “I’m sure it’ll pass,” answered Angel without the least concern. “This never happens to me. I haven’t had writer’s block since the third grade!” said Jim now getting frustrated. “OK,” said Angel putting down his magazine, “I’m sorry but it’s not a disease. Maybe your brain just needs rest.”

Naked in the Rain By JFalkon It was one of those mornings when things start out badly and only got worse. My cat had been missing for a week and I was sure the coyotes had made a fine dinner of him. Still I kept his water bowl full and the other one filled with kibble in the hope that Mr. Jingles would make a miraculous return. I was in the shower when my wish came true. I heard a soft meow and when I peered out the small bathroom window I saw my cat in the yard. Elated, I jumped out

Days that Hold On by Jfalkon It is amazing how many memories a cold hard piece of stone can hold. I ran my hands over the carved monument and time seemed to dissolve. My mind regressed to my college days and played them back like old scratched vinyl records. I sat on the edge of my bed with my head in my hands listening to my roommate shuffling through papers. “I don’t know how I’m going to keep this up. We’re only five weeks into the semester and I’m dying,” I moaned. “I told

There are some times in our lives that stand out. These experiences shape us and make us who we are, but most of all they refuse to let us forget.

History and Wax By Jfalkon It was sunset in the town of Fantasmas California. The town was living up to its name, which means ghosts in Spanish. In the sweltering heat it felt as abandoned as a ghost town except for the permeating sound of air conditioners humming. People hid inside waiting for night to bring relief from the heat. Periodical a car would pull up to a motel and another overheated or lost soul would join the little town just off route fifteen somewhere between Hol

Killing Tina By Jfalkon Jim’s problems with Tina started when he moved into his new neighborhood. He had been dreaming of owning a home since he had moved out of his parents place. A recent change in the housing market had suddenly made his dream possible and he took the opportunity. He found a comfortable suburban house in a quiet neighborhood and made an offer. A few months later he was unpacking his belongings from a rented moving van to the sound of 1980’s pop music. Meanwhile, a

Having a loved one die is never easy. Chris had a hard time coping with the death of his favorite artist while the outside world seemed oblivious to his misery.

Point Of View By Jfalkon Chris sat next to Tracey on the front porch. It was the evening after Jerry’s funeral and the dark shadows were slowly creeping in stealing the summer heat. As Chris stared out into the fading backyard he asked, “I wonder what he saw.” “You mean when he died?” asked Tracey. “No, when he was alive.” Tracey had no answer for him. Jerry had been an artist. Chris had been more an admirer than a friend but now he regretted not taking the time to know Je

This even gets to me. I am generaly happy to suspend reality and have no real sense of what is normal but sometimes there is just no ignoring it. One of my favrite examples was where a character is becoming paralized due to a severe potasium deficiency. He eats a bannana and is up and walking 15 seconds later. I like to see scientific facts to be correct if they are used. When it comes to locations, I take the easy way out and make them up. Then as long as I keep the slang consistent no one can compain.

I just woke up after a nice long nap and went on line and what do I find? Pillows! I have five of them. My family would always laugh at me for that but it looks like I'm quite normal when it commes to pillows.

Another great story from our resident goat! I love the way the science works its way into the fiction!

It's funny what people will admit to when no one gives a crap. It is definitely a publicity stunt just like refusing to talk about his love life was a way to keep people interested.

I like most frogs. Lizards can be pretty cute too. Of course my favorite animal is my pet dog. He is a mix of at least 4 large breeds and very silly.
