    OUTCOME

    The current carried us downstream. We clung to each other to keep from drowning or being torn apart by the rushing water.We drifted for a long time until our feet finally brushed the riverbed. The flow was gentler here,...

    • Very muchly enjoyed from one end to t’other .. I guess I should have started at the beginning of what I imagine is an ongoing story but I wanted to see where you are coming from & now of course have some idea .. Kindest of regards & all good things, my new found multi-lingual literary friend .. Neville

      • Hello Neville!

        Thank you! 😀 I think it’s the illustration that attracted your attention, that’s why you started from the end 😀
        Mummy Issues, part I and II, are exceptions in my portfolio, usually I write spy and detective novellas (which I will add later).

    • I have a lot to catch up…ugh, why can’t I be two people in one? Oh, are they all short standalone stories, or an ongoing series? The tags on them are different.

      • Hello Kay!

        There is a part 1 and 2 of the Mummy Issues series, each novella containing 10 chapters. So, this is the 10th chapter of Mummy Issues II. Sorry if the tags are a little confusing, it’s confusing for me, too LOL I’m new here, so I have to figure out how the site works 🙂
        So, if you want to read Mummy Issues II from the beginning, you should start with chapter 1 OUTLAW.

    • haunting and chilling with a twist ❤️

    • Thank you, Crimsin. This is an old piece from my years fighting morphine addiction, given by doctors to treat my pain from an accident. It took twenty years to get free from it completely — and yet I am not free of pain killers. I’ve no choice there. I’m not sure I will keep this posted. It is not me anymore. But thank you for your words, I appreciate them.

    • Pain here isn’t metaphor — it’s a rabid animal chewing bone, and you let it howl.
      Even in the morphine fog, your voice stays feral and human, refusing to die quiet.

      • Thank you, Thomas; from you, these words mean more. I wasn’t sure if I should let this one out of it’s closet. I think I may take it down after a short stay. It’s like having a hated uncle drop by to see “how things are now,” with a wink. Ya can’t kick him out, that would be rude. And you want him to know he doesn’t scare you anymore. Then you can gladly kick his ass out.

    • The urgency in this is palpable. The way concepts almost run together in the frantic need. Intense. That’s a good word for it. It feels like PTSD and addiction ripping at the page here. Brilliant but it makes me sad for the man who survived that, and glad that it was in the past
