Middlesex, Smyrna, and the future of America

Middlesex won the Pulitzer for fiction in 2003 and is one of those books that stayed with me long after I finished. I won't go into details so as not to spoil but I will say I think many here would enjoy it. It's one of those books that has scenes that pops into my mind often and one event in particular - the Burning of Smyrna.

Widow's Peak - Part 5 of 5

tamsyn7.jpg

It shouldn’t be a big deal. All Billy's friends have visited the widow's house and each seemed to come away better for the experience. Visiting her has been a rite of passage for boys in town for as long as anyone can remember.

Billy knows he should want this. The whispers about him have been growing and even his friends are starting to ask questions. Tonight is the night if he's going to end the rumors. Should it matter if it’s Halloween and there’s a full moon in the sky?

‘Dear Tamsyn,

The outside world is more amazing and more terrifying than I ever knew. Everywhere I look there are reminders of how small and insignificant I am compared to the horror all around me, and yet my love of you drives me forward.

A bar and two funerals - The backstory behind my story 'Kissing Cousins'

I know this post is a self-indulgent, and I hope any readers will forgive the impertinence. Inspiration can come from anywhere and I feel confident saying my latest story, 'Kissing Cousins', has a weirder origin than most posted on this site. It is also an apology of sorts, but you'll have to read to the end to understand.

Small Town Boy

Author: 

Audience Rating: 

Organizational:

Anyone growing up in a small town understands it is an exercise in conformity. Everyone knows everyone else's business. The only way to keep a secret is to never tell a soul.

Steve learned this lesson early in his eighteen years of existence, but college gave him freedom. A small town boy leaving home for the big city is a story as old as time, but college is hard enough without the baggage of repression. Is it possible to cope, when you've spent a lifetime lying to yourself?
