EARTH GHAZAL
By Dr. Mel Waldman The mask of death covers the land. We wait-and kiss the earth. We swing on the pendulum of war and peace-our Fate-and kiss the earth. A jazz musician merges with Sweet Phantasmagoria. And lovers in the park-transformed-sit on the grass-wait-and kiss the earth. A philosophy professor explores the meaning of life. [...]

By Dr. Mel Waldman Old, I eat despair and darkness, my psyche bloated with human debris, death. Cold, my blood flows slowly, my heart weak. I seek salvation, an old man’s dream.

By Dr. Mel Waldman Surreal images flash across my psyche, the faces of the deceased and the dying dancing in phantasmagoria. All my loved ones inevitably vanish in a swirling sphere of time, disappearing into the black hole of death, becoming dust and returning to earth. Left behind in the whirling wilderness of life, I [...]

By Dr. Mel Waldman I speak to You each night. Don’t know your face, but I sense your presence. My body screams with pain. I’m that horrific creature in Munch’s The Scream.

By Steven E. Belanger Raymond Goodfellow sat at the horseshoe-shaped bar at Cleopatra’s Needle, his trenchcoat draped over the back of the chair, his brown leather briefcase against the bar on the footrest.

By Matthew Lett It was going to be an easy job. Bust in, grab the cash, bust out. Just like that. Three simple steps, which if done quickly and correctly, would result in a net payoff near a quarter of a million dollars. At least that’s the way Jake Clemmons of Rock Springs, Wyoming saw [...]

By Brian Rowe Only one standing ovation? The horror director waved to the crowd and took a seat on the sticky stage. The freezing Santa Monica theatre was at full capacity.

By Brian Haynes So, here I am again sitting on my couch in front of the TV with my remote control, channel surfing like there is no tomorrow. Life is good. After working a boring job all day that I absolutely despise, and running useless errands around this pathetic town, I deserve some time to [...]

By Dr. Mel Waldman For years, I’ve heard rumors about the old monastery hidden in an antediluvian forest. The kids in my neighborhood know I’m a writer and collector of weird stories. Well, the tale about the old abandoned monastery is strange and creepy. It belongs in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Trust me. Ensconced [...]

By Xavier Raphael An hour pass time the snow began to fall like fallout. Fluttering crystal snowflakes gently kissed the earth as their journey from the sky above ended without sound. The Christmas like trees filled the landscape glazed with snow. The overcast sky gave the atmosphere a whiteout feel, as if someone had taken [...]
