Felicity

Posted on February 21, 2014 by Philip

Back when my life was a constant repetition of school, sleep, eat, repeat, I knew a girl named Felicity. She was a quiet girl for years, but she came out of her shell in high school, and we became friends around that time. Not very close friends, not merely acquaintances; just friends. I called her…

A Brief History of Henry

Posted on December 4, 2013 by Philip

I had grand daydreams of traveling with Roxanne.  Vision of mountains and oceans and skies waltzed through my head as I sat at work each day, confined by cubicle walls inside of even more brick and mortar walls that blocked out more than just daylight and fresh air.  We’d been to the beach, we’d been…

Connections

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Philip

When I was 19, my younger brother was killed in a car wreck.  Derek had just gotten his license, and the rules of the road had not yet become second nature to him.  I was with him in the car, and somehow, I managed to come out of it alive, but not without some head…

Stained

Posted on July 27, 2012 by Philip

She told me once that there was always a cloud over her head; that she might as well carry an umbrella around just in case the downpour started when she wasn’t prepared for it. It was a poetic way for her to describe her sadness. It was a terrible thing for her to live through…

Brakes

Posted on July 24, 2012 by Philip

The day her brakes failed was the day my life came to a standstill.  She was rushed to the hospital, operated on, put in some care unit that had her hooked up to dozens of different beeping machines and fluid-carrying tubes.  I wasn’t allowed in the room at first.  Had to look at her through…

Don’t Say the Word

Posted on June 8, 2012 by Philip

The room drowned in silence as Paul approached me.  I’d known him for years since he was my girlfriend’s brother, but I didn’t understand the look on his face – the intense sorrow in his eyes, the way his lips quivered and his hands shook. “Nate.”  It sounded painful for him to say.  His voice…

The Day He Saw the Helicopter

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Philip

The view out of the seventh floor meeting room window was of skyscrapers against a backdrop of sky so cerulean that it looked like the ocean had changed places with the heavens.  It would’ve been so much better to be out there in the beautiful spring weather.  Perhaps riding around with the windows down, his…

Chapter 1 – Narrator: ??? – Add ‘Em Up and Knock ‘Em Down

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Philip

This is a rewritten version of the prologue of my first novel, “We Put the ‘Dual’ in ‘Individual.’”   “Bet you wish you’d been quiet earlier, don’t ya?” the man said from the front of the van.  I couldn’t tell if I sensed sadistic glee or annoyance in his voice, but either way, I didn’t…

The Highers and the Lessers

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Philip

“He broke one of the only rules we cherish more than our own vanity,” Onel said.  He deftly raised his hand and slicked back his short black hair. “Your own vanity,” Twinel corrected him.  Onel shot her a stare that she scoffed at, but it only made him grin wider. “He has to be punished,”…

Sisters

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Philip

There was only one thing Kayla hated more than school:  P.E. at school.  A lot of her friends liked P.E., because at least it wasn’t algebra or biology or english lit.  And hell, when she thought of it that way, P.E. wasn’t so bad, but then she considered the other half of the story:  it…
