I Miss The Crab Apple Orchard, And Pretending To Be A Knight
Life has an odd habit of making you miss old street curbs and stop signs. The street I miss the most though has to be that cross-street between the crab apple orchard and my friend Jackson’s house. Something about that place felt infinite. And something about sometimes friends feels greater than sometimes. Would I go back? Absolutely not....

Premium Member Lou Ordered the Yucky Crab Dish

I had not eaten since seven a.m. I was shaky, sleep-deprived, unsteady. Lou was torn between a crab dish that looked awful, soupy and...

The storm had loosened the crabs last desperate grip and lifted it up on a wave, flung it onto rocks to let it die on its back. I looked at it with pity, picked it up and set it down, right way up. In death, its claws still held strands of bright green weed, the shell bore a fatal crack. In two minds, I left...

The Rock Pool
I can stand for hours watching the life of the pool go around. Sparkling, shimmering water. Sandy bottoms surrounded by tiny green rock faces, All dotted by little caves, Sprigs of waving sea weed in all different hues, Only this sea weed moves in this watery jewellry box. Just sit still and watch, a tiny head pops out of one of...

Carcinization
He would see friends of his past, Turn to foes of the present, They would chase behind his back, Human shadows, both crooked and unpleasant. His eyes felt and saw differently, No longer a need for a nose, He had new red-colored pincers, And eight legs with no toes. Amidst his panic, he felt the waves, The sandy waves that lured him, Deep into its...
