“I loath the quiet hush of winter, the deafening din of snowflake on leaf. The only other sound to be heard being a lonesome squirrels climb. ’twas here that I buried you; beneath the willow where the wind holds your insipid memory. Buried. Unknown and forgotten to all. Yet my visitations are scheduled and often.…

”Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring, Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish, Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d, Of…

And then Satan said “Make them write a synopsis.”

In 1961, shortly after his election as president, John F. Kennedy announced that he was determined to win the “space race” with the Soviets. Since 1957, when the Soviet Union sent a small satellite–Sputnik–into orbit around the earth, Russian and American scientists had been competing to see who could make the next breakthrough in space…

Before I died, I dreamt of a girl. For five straight nights she held me captive. The dream often changed but the girl was always the same. She never told me her name and I’m not certain why it matters to me now other than to know the name of the girl that I fell…

I apologize for the rant but this is something I’m very passionate about. And I’m pissed off. About 8pm one night this week, I sank myself into my green and white overstuffed chair, put my feet up; and with a fresh line of Mountain Dew pumping intravenously through both veins, I sought some interesting entertainment.…

I should’ve been a ventriloquist, or a cop maybe. My Mother had always hoped that I’d be something honorable like a doctor. My teachers had hoped that I would just graduate. I loved school. My teachers hated me because I was smarter than all of them. I figured that it would be a…

I felt an immense pressure on my head. I needed to get her attention. I refused to wait any longer. She stood alone outside the club; waiting for a friend. This was my one and only chance. I got up from the table, mustered the needed bravado and moved to where she was standing.…

Those of you that know me are aware that I can become obsessed with the simplest idea. Once that idea gets into my craw, it’s impossible to get rid of it until it leaves of its own accord. Like having a bird trapped in your living room. You could either kill it or open a…

On the radio yesterday I heard that the CIA is refusing to release Osama Bin Laden’s adult film collection. This, I believe is a mistake. I think we could learn a lot about the criminal mind by poking through their personal items. Especially if it’s all contained on VHS. Having said that, (I hate that…

An exclusive excerpt from my new book: “Pike’s Peak” The boy stepped back and tripped over the severed head of his father; the man’s dead eyes staring up grotesquely at his young son. He opened his mouth to scream but was greeted with silence. Instead of falling onto the barn floor, the boy continued to…

I was informed by my doctor that Chantix can give you vivid dreams. I’m not afraid of dreams – and even so, I was up for a challenge. The idea, originally, was to quit smoking so isn’t a few extra trips through the subconscious worth it? Yes. So I took the stupid pills; day and…

The Way Back By Brian Kelly Irons Prologue I first met Molly Harris two years ago in a coffee shop near my home just outside of Boston. I wouldn’t have recognized her had I not just seen her hospital photo in a magazine the day before; placing her in the where are they…

Prelude The fat man exited the car and took a hard step up to the sidewalk. He was breathing heavily; the excessive weight was making life difficult, but it wasn’t what would kill him: not in the end. Mist covered the streets in a hazy glow. Each step was a new adventure in…

A few months ago I read the book “Naming Jack the Ripper” by Russell Edwards. Here are my thoughts… This was the first book to come along in years on the subject that actually seemed to get it right straight from the beginning. A businessman from England; Edwards was, and still is, fascinated with the…

The rain fell slowly and floated above the street in a mist; a mist that carried the death and decay of the world with it. I held no presumptions that life as I knew it would soon end. We had long ago set upon a path of self destruction and ignored the clear warning signs.…

Must Read!!! Late last night as I lie sleeping, I dreamt; something I don’t usually do. It was so vivid and realistic that when I woke, I questioned the world around me. The elevator doors opened and my eyes were instantly focused on the odd scene in front of me. I had to look…

Many of us do this. We come home from a long day at our respective jobs. We slip off our shoes and relax; to whatever for of relaxation works for us. For me its my recliner for roughly an hour. If I have nothing to do that night then the time that I spend horizontal…
