Fog

I’ve been a Maine since mid June finishing my second novel. It has been foggy probably 95% of the time I have been here. Fog is beautiful, but ultimately it becomes disorienting. This morning I read that fog is like a cage without a key. That seems a bit extreme, but not being able to see more than a few feet, rarely seeing the sun, and neither moon nor stars makes the days and nights blend into o Read more of this blog post »

“The colored lights streamed over her face like rays of the sun. She closed her eyes and raised her arms over her head. The song was the best she’d ever heard. There’s 70 billion people of Earth, where are they hiding? The cocaine coursed through her organs in time with the pounding bass. Her eyes stung, she was pouring sweat. A voice inside her head called her name. Where are they hiding? She clenched her teeth to stop them from chattering. Her hands were shaking like falling leaves.”
