Here is a preview of my favorite poem, A Single Spark
A flash in a shadow
Illumination to the dark
A path with which to follow
A single flame
Born in the kindling
Nourishment to claim
An inferno in the making
A puff of smoke,
Rising to heaven
A crackling sound spoke
It had found its haven…
And here is a preview of one of the darker short stories I wrote, Did You Hear That?
A cold shiver ran up my back; a frosty snake slithering up and down my spinal cord. My whole body quivered as I dare to turn my head in search of the sound. I had not heard it, but he had warned me of a sound, so there must have been one. I could not move much, frozen with fear to the extent that my limbs would not function. The room was dark. So dark that I could feel the weight of the unknown blackness on my shoulders as if gravity had quadrupled. The darkness was not only around me, I could feel it inside of me. It was as if it was trying to occupy the same space as I, like it was trying to become me.
“There it is again! Do you hear it?” He spoke to me again.
“No! I don’t!” I whispered energetically in reply. I began searching frantically, pointlessly, in the dark for the sound that I could not hear.
“Why can’t you hear it? It is here!” He said to me, even more sharply than before.
Why can I not hear it? Am I mad?…
