autobiography - Stories

The location? A science fiction convention outside of Baltimore, circa 1980. Our little group attended all the local conventions and there were a lot of really fun times.

Corbin Crowley didn't intend to fall in love during his junior year at Old Dominion University. But he did... and this is what happened.

This will be a collection for most of my poetry. Hope you'll find it appealing. Some of it will be Mature, so pay attention to the chapter notes.

Letters, poems, prose, and short stories I've written. Includes a letter from a father to his son, experiences with dating, life after Trayvon Martin's death, and other subject matters.

This story is autobiographical in nature, but I have made some modifications to protect the identities of those included in it. All the names have been changed, and in some cases things such as gender, locations, and sometimes familial compositions have been altered.

Stories from my time on the street, in no particular order.

I say that life doesn't always give us happily ever after and neither should writers. This story is the reason I believe that.

This is a true story, a tale of lust, romance, love, and loss.

It's the best story I can tell because it means the most to me.

Just some of my thoughts in poetic form.

A response to Prompt #694 - Creative

Tag - First Line, I'm tired of this, so I'm going home!

It prompted me to think of an event in my past and decided to share, maybe give you something to think about.

It's reasonably accurate and factual.
