“A Night at the Carnival” by David Dicaire

Larry Norris was a sixteen year old boy who was a dreamer. He was often chastised in class for looking out the window. One day, his teacher asked what he was looking at in the middle of English class and turned to her and smiled. “Did you ever wonder what it would be like to be able to ride a cloud?” Everyone in class laughed. But, Larry wasn’t laughing. He looked around and started laug...

Jason Cameron was fifteen years old. There were three things he really cared about in life: his Fender Stratocaster, rock and roll and the badass motorcycle that...

“How to Live with an Alcoholic” by David Dicaire

Marny arrived on the steps of the library out of breath. She looked around and fixed her glasses and hair.  A casual observer would have thought she was on a date rather than escaping to a quiet, mundane place like the public library. She took a deep breath and walked inside.  The regulars looked at her and shrugged their shoulders; they had never seen the young teen in the place before. Arlen...

“The Green Earth Society” by David Dicaire

They call themselves the Green-Earth Society, a true branch of the Eco-Warrior movement. But, they are a peaceful tribe. They don’t own guns or bombs or any type of weapons.  Some have classified them as a cult; their religion would be the environment. Their devotion and worship to Mother Nature is second to none. It all started when Joshua Reynolds returned to the old camping ground that his parents to...

“The Kite Lesson” by David Dicaire

He checked his watch and realized that he had to get going. So he trudged out to the field and started to collect...

“The Hibernation” by David Dicaire

The Hibernation It was deep in the forest an area that few if any had ever entered. The trees were tall, majestic, the foliage was thick, apparently impenetrable.  The snow that the sun could fire at had melted, but the white crystals that managed to fall out of the zone remained like a lump of grey cauliflower. Amid all of the changing face of nature was a hut almost ...

“The Flower Girl” by David Dicaire

Duane Jennings worked in the city and lived on the outskirts in a rather nice suburban section. The commute was forty-five minutes ...

Rhonda’s Room It was Rhonda’s room and it was a direct reflection of her personality and intelligence.   On one wall, there were pictures of the cosmos and atoms and Albert Einstein.  The planets were painted into the blue universal sky and appeared very real. On a different wall, there was a forest deep, mysterious and serene. If one looked very closely a unicorn w...
