Sorry for not having a bad joke today, but I’m feeling a bit contemplative as today is Little Quinn’s birthday. He should be turning twelve. Alas, he is not.

Welcome to my outpost on the Web! I write SF, fantasy, and horror for fun and, hopefully, profit! Other interests include music, nature, science, humor, food, bib overalls, and pie throwing (both metaphorically AND literally). Stick around!

the pain is practically unimaginable
I lost a nephew to the same disease at the same age. Something for you
Angels are frozen in time
a vision carried forever
lives painted by struggle
shared as hearts remember
sorrow paints a picture
that hides what is beneath the canvass
hidden sometimes not seen
leaving us to struggle through the blackness
wipe the canvass clean
to behold a portrait
of true human perfection
