    • thunder, now passed,
      praising rain on a lean-to…
      this high & sky
      full of mist & wist,

      satisfied shine, rich
      with daggered eyes in flight…
      earth & alighted, poor
      with cosmic delusion…

      cockatrice glare
      through fog & moon.

      Superbly but subtly visual, pensive yet explicit? Why not, sez I.

    A murder in Paradise Valley

        Joshua Daniel's hands wore thick calluses and he didn't smile much. At age thirty-two, he worked in fields and chopped wood. The blood, toil, and sweat made him tough.    On the 28th of June, under the big oak tree at...

    • Phenomenally penned, Tim. You’re a great storyteller my friend, felt like a western to me. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • This does give a western vibe. I like the listening to the tree to hear the screaming.

    • I normally do not read the short story section, but I was curious, so…
      Revenge is sometimes blinding. This write shows that to be true.
      Your story reads fluid, interesting, carrying the scenes forward really well. The epilogue (of sorts) leaves the reader pondering, perhaps for a continuation.
      Great write, Tim.

    • This was very engaging. Some of those dead have unfinished business. Great ink.

    • Hi Tim!
      This reminds me of an episode of Hell on Wheels! And the pic really reinforces the tone of the story.
      Gritty with emotion and guns. How it was back then. Black and white with a lot of dust instead of grey.
      Truly enjoyed the read amigo. It’s nice seeing friends post in different categories.

      • Thank you for the nice comment, Adelly. Much appreciated. 🙂

    • Tim you have mastered the art of putting so much action, plot development, and powerfully emotional story telling into the short story form. This takes you into the heart of Joshua and his tragic mistake leading to his ending. Gritty and strong telling of this tale that engaged me as I read. Not a line wasted. A perfect economy of words that brings this tale home in a big way.

      • Wow, thank you, John. I couldn’t have asked for a better comment. 🙂

    • Hahaha we like the darkness it’s our comfort zone. We may yet get a little darker just just Halloween Thanks Lady

    • The moon always gets in the way. The Beast is out. The fourth stanza, where it sounds like a protest, but he was hunting. I like this dark poetry.

      • We wondered if he was an individual that associated his high with a beast or a beast that loved to get high. Thanks Lady
