Stories

A story based in the world of skateboarding, about learning love, and accepting fate.

Bryce and Jarred share a loving Christmas Eve together.

Scenes from early in the development of the musical Oklahoma! provided by a very untrustworthy source.

The world's oldest known epic poem is a story of the love of two men. This is my take on the Epic of Gilgamesh, in brief.

A romance suggested by the song "Waltzing with Bears," a song by Dale Marxen adapted from the Dr. Seuss song of the same name. Although the "present day" of the story is 2011, the events related in it take place in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.

Daniel Feeney and Kelin Rattler are juniors in college and meet at a fraternity party on Homecoming Weekend. They hit it off right away, but Daniel is hesitant about getting too close to Kelin because of bad experiences he had in the past. Will this time work out for him?

A romance inspired by two photographs from the late 19th century. Some of the historical details and people of the story are from the actual history of Franklin, NH; others, including the two main characters, are fictional. I have changed their names from the names written on the backs of the photographs.

It's been said that suffering builds character. And there are few that know suffering better than young Justin. Only 14 years old, he has found an easy way out. A suicidal tendency that he is hoping will bring an end to his misery. But when he meets a mysterious boy at the end of Navy Pier one dark evening...he is given an alternative. One that will give him purpose, and set in motion the events that will lead to his ultimate destiny....in a world not like our own.

This is going to be the repository for those products of my mind that have no other place.

Be they new or old

Be they jewels crafted by genius

Or the drivel of a madman
