Winter rains are cold and dreary. They soak the frozen ground. The water puddles with no where else to go. Winter rains remind us that this could be snow. Too warm for snowflakes to come down. But too cold for the rain to really do anything. It is not spring where the rain can begin... Continue Reading →
Wind whipping past the window quickly. It shakes the window and rattles the glass. Winter cold slipping through the cracks. Snowflakes stuck to the glass, looking in. The wind howls louder and louder. The snow whips up into a crystal spiral. Temperatures plunge freezing the mist in the air. Hanging icicles shiver in the cold.... Continue Reading →
A simple dusting of snow falling from the sky. People look up as the flakes fall down to the earth. Then it comes quickly changing from light frost to heavy layers of snow. It blankets the area clinging to the people walking and the ground underneath their feet. Children jump and cheer hoping for school... Continue Reading →
The edge of the town is the barrier between life and death. For many people, it is just an invisible border, But for people who live here, That line is life and death.

Lights hanging on the Christmas Tree. A pile of wrapped gifts down below. People stand on street corners and ring a bell. They ask for donations and spread Christmas cheer. Stomping through the snow with heavy boots. Hot chocolate held between two hands to keep them warm. People wrapped up in front of a fireplace... Continue Reading →

Christmas was their favorite time of the year. They loved the songs, the snow, the family. The family. That's what hits you the... Continue Reading →
She is like a bird free from her iron cage. She soars through the sky following the wind underneath her wings. She is like a fish free from her glass tank. She swims through the river enjoying the flowing currents. She is like a butterfly free from her chrysalis. She flutters about as she takes... Continue Reading →
A blood ritual on the altar of time. Rolling back daylight for another hour of sleep. Trading an hour of sleep for eternal night. The people blame it on the farmers. Or blame it on Benjamin Franklin. But we still bring our sacrifices to the altar. Falling backwards in time. Springing forward in time. Trading... Continue Reading →
