Hey. Hey Marino. I hate when you call me that. I know. But you’re still gonna do it huh? Yep, still gonna do it. Don’t worry though it won’t be all the time. Just when I feel like rattling your cage to see if you’re still with us. How considerate of you. Is there coffee? Check the pot. Margie made some earlier.

Cursed Howl

Submitted to Contest #315

Snow dangled from the branches. Some would fall, drifting onto my back. I shook it from my coat as I ran. And as I ran, I reveled. Through the long shadows given shape by pillars of pine. Over frozen creeks and jutting stones. My pants became a synchronous chant rising to a crescendo as my adrenaline peaked. A surreal song which electrified my body in my dance with the wilds. Pain would set in. An ache in the joints, an invisible needle in my side. I jerked my head at its coming. Breaking through a gate of branches and brush I emerged from t...
