Legend of the Marfa Lights (a narrative) as told by an Apache Elder
In the time of the ancients, when the earth sang with the spirits of the wild and the wisdom of our forebears lingered in every whisper of the wind, there arose a tale born from the heart of the desert, in the realm of the Apaches.
Before the the town of Marfa existed, when the world was untamed and the land stretched out boundless, our people wandered these territories, hunters beneath the expanse of the sky. But the fever of the California Gold Rush ignited a fire in the hearts of travelers, bringing turmoil and sorrow. The allure of gold drew them westward, their wagons carving...

Something needed to be done
The board review came to a decision
They found him sane
One doctor felt otherwise
Doctor knew that he fooled the board and staff
The doctor pleaded with the medical board
They saw nothing wrong
The ex girlfriend was always afraid of him
He went psycho on her a few times
For no apparent reason
She would have liked to do normal things couples would do
Instead, she had to worry when something so small and minute would agitate him
He didn't like that she was talking to her brother
He thought her & her brother were secretly in love ...

Sniper Files #3 The Kill
As the moon hung low in the night sky, casting shadows across the deserted alley, I watched them from the rooftop opposite the dimly lit apartment building. The general's daughter, Olena, stood on the balcony, her silhouette joined by that of her lover, Andrei. They seemed lost in each other, unaware of the danger lurking in the darkness below.
I adjusted the scope on my rifle, my breath steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins. This was the moment I had trained for, the mission I had been assigned by my superiors. But as I stared through the crosshairs, doubt...

A fork, a knife and a spoon
My wife only wants me to spoon her when she's hammered
Any other time, she don't want me near
That's ok
I actually despise her and spooning
One night she came home incredibly drunk
She was all over the place
Stumbling, making no sense
Fell backwards into my cabinet
Breaking some heirloom figurines I had from my family
No apology, nothing
My blood was beginning to boil
I yelled at her, "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE!!!"
I was tired, so I went to bed
Few moments later she came into bed
She was frisky and...

Few moments later she came into bed

The Invited Guest
One moonlit night I was in my convertible driving through the city of Las Vegas, NV
After losing a lot of cash and getting into a fight with my wife
I went to see a silent film for mature audiences only
As I was leaving the city limits, heading back home in California
I saw a hitchhiker waving me down
He looked mousey, a little disheveled but I felt bad for him
He told me his name was Sid
I asked him where he was headed
He said, “Anywhere you’re going, I’m fine with.”
I thought that was odd
He told me that he was coming from a desert grave...

It Was Time
OK,” I said. “As you wish.”
Who could blame him after 42 years of marriage. Since Michael was paying the tab, I’d comply with his wishes as best I could. I suppose it was natural that he’d want to make love to his wife on her last night. By all indications they’d had a good marriage.
Tanya had recently made the decision to stop all treatments and so it was a matter of time. Her cancer would consume her, and he wanted to spare her from the agony he knew was in her future. He shared that she wanted to live as long as possible but knew her inevitable death...

Sniper Files #2 The Ukrainian Leader’s Daughter
Sometimes the weight of warring nations requires soldiers to strip human beings of their spiritual underpinnings. All that makes them mysterious, particular, and beautiful must be peeled away so that killing can be done.
Olena was a Ukrainian leader’s daughter. My task was to satisfy a great debt to our Russian Army for the deaths of my comrades. Olena was born in 2004. Her 19 years have been rich, filled with the love of family and now the love of her future husband.
Part of our surveillance included the gathering of papers related to her school years. I found a letter...

Jealousy's a Bitch
The state prison in Huntsville, Texas was quiet except for the evening murmur of inmates punctuated by an occasional laugh. Jeff had been a resident for five years, but it wasn’t his first time in. He’d been a frequent visitor since he dropped out of college in the mid-1990s. Gabe was younger and just beginning his life of crime. Both men had a string of breaking and entering charges and had dipped in and out of drug addiction.
Gabe said, “You ever think 'bout the past, Jeff?”
“Sometimes. Depends on the day,” Jeff replied. “Had me a girl once. Back in college. Her name...

Netflix & Kill
Netflix and chill seems to be the motto, an excuse to hang out while getting all blotto!
To chill with one another, and hopefully get it on!? However, sometimes, it can go terribly wrong.
Tarquin was scrolling on Facebook, just having a gooseys, when he sees a status by a dorris called Lucy...
"Can any1 suggest any good serial killer documentaries?" Tarquin then commented underneath it. "Yes, I know plenty!"
They started to banter, back and forth on the comments, from flirting to cherpsing and chatting some nonsense.
