Submitted to Contest #76

Colloquy “Well, hello stranger, where have you been?” "Around." “No, really, I mean it’s been at least three months since I last saw you here at the bus stop.” “Okay, nowhere really and a little bit of everywhere, you might say.” "Come on now; you've got to give me more than that. I've told my husband about our little talks, and he won’t believe me when I tell him about today. So give me something juicy to lay on him.” "It's not that interesting, but I was in Hillsdale for a while. Then I went to Greenberg for a week or so, and after that, ...

“The Blind Spot” by James Freeze

Submitted to Contest #67

    THE BLIND SPOT Walter walked to the window and flicked the ash from his cigarette onto the street below. He then turned slowly to face the woman he had been hired to kill. “Everyone I have ever met has a story to tell,’ Walter thought to himself, ‘and maybe I missed the most important part of hers.” Walter was uncommonly perplexed with this assignment. Hesitation and questioning himself was not a part of his natural purview. Most of his assignments had been basically mundane. Walter in the past had barely thought o...

“Pitcher John” by James Freeze

Submitted to Contest #14

               Pitcher JohnWhat happens to a warrior's mind after the smoke clears and years from the end of his war? In this case, it was the Second World War and this warrior had participated in some of the bloodiest battles in Germany. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was not something many had heard of during this time.

“Moments” by James Freeze

Submitted to Contest #10

              [Moments]Henry was a master at the art of piddling. He wasn't a day over forty, and his name really was Henry, although no one used it except his family. Other people, for some odd reason, tended to call him Francis. He was not very productive at his work, but it did not seem to affect his employment status. He was 6 feet tall, bent a little, and his skin was grayish, but no one noticed it because of the almost perpetual smile on his face. Henry thought...
