If the heels weren’t so high, I could see Paul Morrison sporting a pair of these at Night on the Neck this summer, if for no other reason than to drive Joey crazy.

Everyone’s a Critic!

Hey Joey,

Got another story up on the Kindle store for free this weekend- in honor of Truck Day I’m doing a promo for my Red Sox horror novella "Bambino":

The Boston Red Sox may have finally reversed the Curse of the Bambino in 2004, but only a few know the true story of what actually happened that fateful season. When a grand piano is found at the bottom of a lake in Quincy, James Flynn — hot dog vendor at Fenway Park and seventh son of a seventh son — finds himself drawn into a world of demons, exorcists, and MIT’s mysterious Department of Alchemy, where a group of secret paranormal researchers are preparing for a final showdown with one of baseball’s most legendary players.

The Illusion

 

At mid ebb I was sitting at the side of

a tidal creek along the edge of the marsh

that cushions Essex Bay like a large soft pillow

placed on a  hard granite bed.

 

The stream was long and snaked off into the distance

reflecting both the border marsh grass and the

thin clouds far overhead.  The stones in the water

were like signposts showing the way to the sea.

 

What a lovely scene, I thought, how gentle and sublime.

This is the way to experience life; immersed in beauty,

a vision to hold onto – a flashback of the

best there is –  a remembrance of joyful days.

 

Three hours later, the stream was gone, the rock filled

bed was mud, no more a mirror of sky and grass .

And the rocks, alone and exposed, spoke only of what had been;

my river of peace and beauty now empty.

 

This must be a magician’s trick, an illusion that

appears and enthralls only to disappear

at the pass of a wand or the murmuring

of some secret and ancient incantation.

 

But I am the sorcerer. I am the illusionist

who attaches to objects and scenes the word

sublime. I conjure up the images to

be remembered; if not for me, beauty would not be.
