1972 was the year, January 22nd triple-double’s for the first born on the third day of Aquarius. Grew up in a green van with ex-fiends, rolling by currently future relapsing ex-fiends, leaning without touching the ground in mix matched, knee high, tube socks. The van was always filled with songs of redemption, vocalized by those on the receiving end of newly found divine forgiveness and a well worn family distrust. You can’t sell the kid’s Atari, your wife’s jewels, and your momma’s TV and th...

Short Story / a day like today ...

I love days like today, the ones in March that have a hint of spring to them. Even though we know New York won’t see real spring-like weather until the fall … we always seem to skip from winter straight to summer. On a day like today, you would find me in Mrs. Warner’s 7th grade Spanish class. The only drawback to this situation was that Spanish class was right after lunch and it was an elective. I elected to take Mrs. Warner’s class not because of my love for the romantic language of Spanish...

Prologue: The room was completely dark-just the way he liked it-except for the flickering light of a flat-screen television. There was one in every room, an over indulgence he promised himself from as far back as his memories extended, it’s ever watchful eye surveying the room. Transporting half awake viewers to exotic locals overrun with yachts, beautiful women, opulent jewelry, and cash-lots and lots of cash; filling the entire screen, as feelings of deep seeded envy conflict with the allus...

wow, this started out so well and seemed to be going in a great direction and not because of the sex. but because you were unraveling this person so well , like an onion but then, at least in the portion that you posted that all goes away and is never brought back into play. its a very easy read though and keeps you wanting to know what’s going on with these people, i just think you spent way too much time on his hurricane boating antics. Would love to see more.
Wow! What an amazing story! I was completely engaged from the start – the prologue is an absolute smash. I found myself wondering what Lacey would be called upon to rectify in history and then my mind drifted as I thought what in the world it could be. But as I continued to read I didn’t care as much about what she and the women of her family were suppose to fix because I started to care about the characters you were introducing. Also the jump back to 1814 is amazing on so many levels, I cann...
Humor/Satire / Pole Vault Poles At Dawn
I am sorry to say that the only portion that I found funny was the description of how to pole vault, which was actually laugh out loud funny. But the rest seemed to drag, also after you finished with the pole vaulting section the story seems to lose its way and becomes more like a diary entry or personal reflection time, either way the funny definitely left the building. You have an engaging writing style though; I didn’t feel desire to skip through.
Humor/Satire / prologue, Jesus & Me
Hands down this is the best piece I’ve read on Urbis … Hands down! I wouldn’t change a thing, it is real, honest, gritty, and funny and hell. This would send the church into a tizzy but I think this is also one of the most theologically sound pieces I’ve ever seen. I will definitely be adding this to my favorites and looking to be a fan, you have an amazing talent and a knack for telling an amazingly engrossing story. If you don’t already have one, you need an agent because you have stuff peo...
Flash Fiction / CHOICES
As I got to the end I thought it was strange that Meredith would fold laundry in her going out outfit but then it creped up on me. I totally thought she was simply going to have a night on the town and live it up for the time she had left, sort of like that Queen Latifah movie. But the suicide twist was not something I saw coming. Though I wanted to skip forward in the story, I found myself glued to find out what happened, as a note I must say that my reasons for wanting to skip ahead were mo...
