About 2 weeks had gone by, the reports of the incident were still on my desk and as much as I tried looking through a few new reports to get my mind off of it I just couldn’t ignore this one in particular.
The autopsy had come back for the poor fellow trapped in the truck, he had died of terminal dehydration and the coroner’s notes also said he was incredibly malnourished and underwei...

The Reservation was quiet, peaceful like a pool of water untouched by either man or the wind and it was just like any other dusk that the Indians had seen more times than to count.
However…there goes around a folktale of somethi...4 Recommendations3 CommentsI knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have s...1 Recommendation6 CommentsI had gone into town to post some flyers as well as give my card to a few cashiers, clerks, and managers around the local convenience stores as well as the town post office and bank. I was sure that someone would come forward especially after the case had made a considerable mention in the newspaper, unfortunately no one had come forward with any kind of real information other than a possible sus...3 Recommendations3 CommentsI was not sure if the old man was giving me a clue to a suspect or was just telling some story just so I would listen to him talk the day away. However…his face was not the carefree one when I had walked into the room but rather a more concerned one with a hint of fear in it. I decided to give his word a chance, so I asked….
“Sir, what is a “Gee Chee”?”

It began some 10 years back, it was a slow, quiet noon day in the office when suddenly the phone rang and burst me out of my daydream. I picked it up.
“Hello?” I said.
“John.” The voice responded “It’s Andrew, earlier someone reported a truck left near some trees on the gravel road heading west. I just found it.”
“I’m on my way.” I said...3 Recommendations2 CommentsThe emergency lights were dim but right now they were the only things guiding me through this now cluttered station, I did not stop moving even jumping over a desk that had been in my way.
I could hear those heavy footsteps moving again, that creature of shadow had made it’s move once more, this time I had no place to hide, this thing would find me once more as long as I remained in this bu...1 Recommendation3 CommentsBlood boiled in every vain,
Like a flicker in every flame.
Tears streaming from my eyes,
Cause my life is built on lies.
Over powered by my fears,
So I kept quiet for many years.
The secrets tore me up inside.
With a twisted mind and arms atied
They took their turns,
So I buried the burns.
I grew up thinking it was my fault.
My fault for every rape, and every assault.
Those dark memories still ha...2 Recommendations2 Commentsso small and innocent was I when I told my childhood good-bye
Why did this happen to me, Only four years old, it scared me
He made me go to his bed, Rubbing and touching, "I love You" is all he said
I cried and begged him to stop, Harder and harder, the pain was so sharp.
How could he hurt and leave me this way
All I could do was pray!
Tell, he said, and your sisters will be next
I kept my mouth ...1 Recommendation3 Comments
The Paranormal
By Lee Homer
Where do we go after we die? Our bodies cease to function at some point in our life but where does our soul go? Could there really be a spirit realm where our very consciousness resides? Our very existence is made of spiritual energy. There has been far too much evidence documented in books and TV shows that show us that we just don'...1 Recommendation2 Comments
