Pumpkin on the porch
Cut, carved, and decorated
Time for Halloween
🎃
Do you enjoy carving pumpkins each year? We usually do. Haven’t yet, a bit early, but we probably will later on in the month.

Haiku – 8/14/2020
Opening his eyes
Something in the dark staring
While he is sleeping
☠️
Man screams in terror
The shape slowly dissipates
Red eyes lingering

Haiku – 7/31/2020
Walking on a path
Forest pressing in tightly
Sound of leaves crunching
+
Stop, turn, look, and stare
Something moving soft and slow
Growling with hunger
+
Feet starting to run
Multiple sounds erupting
Forest comes alive
+
Creatures on the hunt
Surrounded, no where to go
He stops, starts to plan
+
A shot rings loudly
Something screams in the distance
Voices shouting out
+
Man takes off running
He thinks of safety and hope
Feet are light and quick

Haiku – 7/5/2020
In the eastern sky
Splashes of red appearing
Dawn’s light approaching

I wrote this paragraph for a 100 words or less flash fiction contest.
I thought I would share it.
Night closing. Dawn approaching. Vampire walks into the tomb after a long night of feasting. He sees his love, his eternal companion, nestled in her coffin. He looks around at the empty blood bags lying on the floor, a Vampire afraid of killing humans, she is a strange one. He hangs the full blood bags in the refrigerator, closes the door, and once again looks at the mess. He shakes his head, ageless shoulder length blonde hair rustling, and smiles – “Holy cow, that’s a lot of empties,” he replies and crawls into his coffin, settles in. The day arrives.

Haiku – 6/21/2020
Bright red eyes watching
Studying its nice warm prey
The beast stands, waiting

Day starting to turn
Edging slowly into night
Time for it to feed

Haiku – 6/2/2020
It crawled from the sand
Filled with evil intentions
Ready to consume

I just released a new cover for my short story “The Living Sand” and it is a terrifying one. It really fits the story so much better than the one I had attached to it. The old cover (below) looks more like a kids story – one where kids go on adventures by the sea shore and hunt for pirates and buried treasure. The Living Sand is nothing like that. Two boys discover a beach and find a warning – create life in the sand and life it will have. Well, they do just that and chaos ensues. That is why the new cover works so well. That creature in the picture looks like something brought up from the depths of hell. Anyway, if you want to read it or review it check out the information at the bottom of the page. You are now free to move around the blog.
If you want a copy here are two ways to get it:
- Send me an email: atothewr@gmail.com. In the header put: I would love to review The Living Sand. Then let me know what you use to read ebooks: Kindle or Something Else. I will send it to you and all I ask is for you to give me a fair and honest review.
- If you are able to buy it and do want to support me the links to purchase the story are posted below.

Haiku – 10/25/2019
Down in the damp crypt
Rotten flesh resurrecting
Lusting for warm blood
