Total Eclipse of The Sun
"And if you go before I, how will I find you?" An older man asks. His wife's reply was anything but simple. "If I shall go before you, I will light your path. If you follow that path you will find me." The old man replies, "And if it's years later?" she says "I will continue to light your path until you are ready." The old man sat on his porch facing the east every morning and the west every evening. Then, one day he got up. His daughter asked, "Where are you going dad?" he replied, "To the moon."

You made the wrong turn
“You made the wrong turn,” is what you say. It’s a death sentence. It’s more than an accurate accusation, it feels worse than a flagrant violation one could’ve made in an important soccer match, something that could make a whole crowd burst into a riot if justice isn’t swiftly met.

The Tiger
Hunger lingers deep in the stomach of a tiger. His paws are weak and his back is bending. No longer does his body hold the power it once had. The bars of his cage have found frailty in his soul.

Taken
The steady rumble of an engine eased her awake, but the harsh vibrations of her body against an unforgiving surface jolted her back to reality. Anna’s eyes shot open to darkness. Panic spread through her veins like wildfire. Anna struggled to move, her limbs burning. A quick jerk forced her head against the floor, knocking a memory loose. An image of a man standing in the dim lighting of the parking garage flashed before her. Anna didn’t recognize the man. He was wearing a black ski mask, but his icy blue eyes pierced through her, even now in her mind.

The Unforgiven
Watching the sun creep up from behind the mountain, her words sliced through me, leaving pain in my heart, “Forgiveness is the key.”

Perhaps Love
“Perhaps, love will lead her back,” Annie comforted. “Somehow, she always finds her way back home.” Margie’s sad eyes stared out the window, nodding she said, “It’s been three sad years for the children.”
