SENSE MEMORIES
An excerpt from "Web of Tyranny."
Inhaling the scent of burning leaves, she remembered a time long ago.
Back then, she had longed for the autumn leaves with their reds and yellows and deep russets, crisp under her feet as she marched along a country road, waving at school friends and waiting for the big yellow bus. Fall meant the cessation of summer harvests with the inevitable packing sheds steamy with the pungent odor of rotting fruit. Autumn signaled a farewell to long days beginning at the… Continue

Excerpt II - "Irreversible Choices" - After the fateful evening that altered their lives, Carly tries to pick up the pieces...
Afterwards, Carly wouldn’t have been able to recall a single thing about the food or the book they’d discussed, or anything at all. She was going through the motions. Glancing around, she’d noticed nothing unusual about anyone else’s behavior, once they’d gotten through the first few minutes. Maybe she was imagining the whole thing. Could she have dreamed it, or fantasized it? She almost burst into laughter, but then restrained herself.
She felt on the verge of hysteria, teetering on a ledge.… Continue

Excerpt - "Irreversible Choices" - (A Novel - beginning in the radical 1970s, in Suburbia)
By the time they began reviewing their book choice, thoroughly ensconced in the family room, Carly was feeling no pain. In fact, she was wondering why she hadn’t noticed before how wonderfully calming lots of drinks could be in social situations.
At one point, though, as if from outside her body, she heard her laughter sounding a bit too jovial, maybe even raucous. Or perhaps it was David’s glance in her direction one time too often that tipped her off. She set down the wine glass abruptly and… Continue

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?
