Pig in a Web, scene 9, Meet Cousin Chaz!
Scene 9:
Daddy is putting Willy into a small travel kennel in the kitchen. The doorbell rings and it's his cousin from the bank, Chaz, in a suit with a briefcase. He looks down at the pig in the carrier.
Chaz: You'll need to sell more than that little pig to keep your farm. The bank is calling in your loan this quarter; all of it.
Daddy: He isn't for sale yet. Aunt Mel is helping Heather grow it over at her place because she wants to fund a new bike for herself this year.
Chaz: Looks like Aunt Mel is helping you. Don't forget to consider that in the bank’s eyes that...

Pig in a Web (continued from scene 6)
Scene 6
Sheep 1 Willy
Sheep 2 Willy
Sheep 3 Willy
Sheep 1 It’s simple math: Daddy gave Heather Willy and in return Heather gives him the willies.
Sheep 2 Despite all Daddy’s efforts, something wasn't adding up for the family. Will Heather be a pig farmer or a politician?
Willy is sitting on the kitchen floor sucking on a wet envelope corner, whimpering quietly. Daddy comes in and sees little Willy.
Daddy: Where is Heather? Didn't you get your breakfast before she ran to school? I showed her how to make your milk twice yesterday! Sorry I didn't...

Mi Corazon
Summertime as teenagers are some of the most important fun and sometimes dangerous times and the lives of young men. I’ve had many wild and crazy adventures in my teenage years. It seemed at the time that there was always something new and exciting whenever spring came around and we were ready for our final weeks or week of classes. I could always depend on a few things to happen (1) was that my homey’s Leroy aka Skipper and Dean aka Fahred, because he had an elongated head with a very large forehead lived upstairs in my building and their mom Lola would rent a car for the entire summer for...

my paradise
I've seen the beauty of the sun as it glanced through your eyes.
I've seen the best parts of your smile.
Even though I only held you for a few minutes in this life.
I still can't get passed the reason why?
You were not even old enough to be called young.
My life is turned upside down.
I wish it was the other way around.
I would have died in your place, I would have saved you any how.
My earth has turned to hell and I know paradise is not in the clouds.
My joy came the moment you were delivered into this world and placed in my arms.
You cried...
I've seen the best parts of your smile.
Even though I only held you for a few minutes in this life.
I still can't get passed the reason why?

My life is turned upside down.
I wish it was the other way around.

My earth has turned to hell and I know paradise is not in the clouds.

Pig in a Web 1.0
A play
It is very early morning, just before dawn.
Sheep 1: listen!
Sheep 2: I hear crickets! And frogs! And a squooshy, chewy sound.
Sheep 3: Shhhh…. It's dark… keep counting.
Sheep 1: Seriously, do you hear that? Its the sound of something special…. The sound of a mommy pig snuggling newborns and eating placentas!
Sheep 2: shut up! The cock didn't crow. I’m freaking tired!
Cock rrrrroooorrrrooooo!
Sheep 3 will he ever learn to crow properly?
Sheep 1: Imma go get some grass before I bake in the waking sun…. Chill out my buds. ...

The Soul Seam
Unfaithful feelings are hard to bury, I tried to purge and ignore them, I tried to bury them in the shallow caverns of my heart, I dreamt myself in and out of love and still they wandered back. I tried honesty and the cold cutting truth slammed into my life like a sledge hammer on a jam jar, it opened up but the contents were inedible. Now I dig down deeper for a rich seam in the shafts of my soul. As I descend into the pit I set free the thoughts trapped and forgotten, those I loved and never felt the love returned. I dig down above the molten beating core and bury my unfaithful feelings. As...

Brice Awakes
(Chapter 13)
Beep. Beep. Beep. Shut off, that damn alarm clock. Bricelyn thought as she started to come to her senses. The pain was almost unbearable as she turned her head to the side. As she opened her eyes she quickly closed them again due to the bright over head lights. Once she got used to the lights she looked around the room to see dozens of flowers. That's when she saw Dante reading a newspaper. She reached up and was about to pull the oxygen tubes out of her nose but someone grabbed her hand.
"No no that needs to stay there Brice." Dante smiled.

The Pretty Girls in the Magazine
Mama always said I had the most beautiful body God had ever graced the Earth with. She would take me to ballet lessons and sing me lullabies to keep my mind at rest while my body healed from the treatments. She would always take me to a special place where they could make my body even better.
“You’re gonna be a star, honey,” she would say, as she plucked out the hair from my skin.
“You’re gonna be the dream of ev’ry girl who gets the honor to hear your name,” she would sing aloud in her melodic voice.

Chapter 5: So much Work, So little Nika.
Dear Don Deah – and Almighty Sera Hush (book 1)
Chapter 5: So much Work, So little Nika.
„David! I am glad you have arrived! Now we can officially start.” (Sera Hush)
“I swear by the black eyed, if you ring that bell!” (Lev)
“You’ve got a new bell?” (David)
“Yes, since the last one had been – ummm ‘lost’ – I have saved some money over the past few weeks and bought this one. It is tinier, but it is a lot cuter! Look at it!” (Sera Hush)
“I… would honestly prefer if you kept doing the sound by your mouth-“...
