“That hurts, you moron!” She screamed at a guy who tried to appease her. I was watching them while I was eating my breakfast outside the cafe. Then, she slapped him and sobbed like a baby. The guy left.  She sat in front of me, crying.  “You guys think your girlfriends are punching bags, uh?” she murmured. I looked at her, chuckling in admiration. She’s cute and adorable, I thought. “You think I’m funny?” wiping her tears. “No, you’re adorable. I mean, you’re cute. Oh, boy. I’m sorry,” I retorted. She laughed. We laughed. We’ve been laughing for many years. THE CUTHING EDGE     CAPTURED       THE BREADIEWER       HUBPAGES A WALK THROUGH LIFE         AMAZON     BARNES & NOBLES

Photo by  Toa Heftiba  on  Unsplash The city is on lockdown... I was unsure if I still could, but I must go home.  It was getting late and my stomach was churning. I don’t know, but I later found myself in an empty Dunkin’ Donuts where I heard her angelic voice. Then, I saw her behind the counter. Oh! sweet heavens...  She’s Amber and seeing her made me feel like my shattered heart has mended. Before she could take my orders, I defied the tremors inside and asked her to a date. Her face turned red, looked doubtful but besotted. Then, she smiled and said, “Yes.”  THE CUTHING EDGE     CAPTURED       THE BREADIEWER       HUBPAGES A WALK THROUGH LIFE         AMAZON     BARNES & NOBLES

Photo by  Dainis Graveris  on  Unsplash Full round breasts surprised my back, followed by trembling fingers fondling my thighs. I gasped as my blood surged intensely through my groin. I lifted and laid her down on a makeshift bed—gently drawing her knees apart and hungrily sending my tongue deep into her inner thigh. “Enter me now,” she urgently groaned. Covering her body with mine, we slowly moved to our heartbeats’ rhythm. As I increased my speed, she moaned in deep pleasure. “Harder! Harder!” she wildly grunted as I gave my final thrust of relief. I collapsed to her side. “You’ll play savage next time,” she whispered. THE CUTHING EDGE     CAPTURED       THE BREADIEWER       HUBPAGES A WALK THROUGH LIFE         AMAZON     BARNES & NOBLES

Photo by  Fernando @cferdo  on  Unsplash Sweet, lingering sound ends my prolonged slumber. It’s a melody that inevitably evokes heart-crushing memories no matter how happy they were because it’s the last song we made and recorded together. Ten years have passed and I still grieve for her passing. “That's unbelievable! You can't love me forever!" she quipped. “But my only definition of love and life is YOU…” I sighed. Tears of loneliness profusely rolled down on her beautiful face. "I want you to move on and live your life." Suddenly, the music stops. Glancing at the calendar, it’s May 5th. Move on and live your life? THE CUTHING EDGE     CAPTURED       THE BREADIEWER       HUBPAGES A WALK THROUGH LIFE         AMAZON     BARNES & NOBLES

Photo by Bill Oxford on Unsplash It has been eight months since Kristoff’s tragic death, but the murderer is still out there and the authorities don’t know who. While his wife’s drawn into the abyss of agony and madness, Russ tries to keep the last important thing he holds—his sanity. But he’s getting impatient. The situations are waning his willpower. With clenched fists and gritted teeth, he makes a silent vow of vengeance. An eye for an eye , he told himself. But his vicious trance’s interrupted by the police’s news that brings him to his knees and uncontrollable sobs… “Russ, we’re here to arrest your wife.” THE CUTHING EDGE     CAPTURED       THE BREADIEWER       HUBPAGES A WALK THROUGH LIFE         AMAZON     BARNES & NOBLES

Photo by Andrea Tummons on Unsplash In a dark, hollow crypt under the ruins, Michael listens to the reverberating cry of people through the walls. Then he hears actual footsteps. And from the hole, a hand reaches for him… “Grab my hand Michael, come on!” his father screams. Greg hugs Michael tight, carries him safely and runs toward home. “Don’t worry Michael, we will be home soon!” Greg encourages his son. But suddenly, earsplitting sound and blinding light stun them both. When Michael opens his eyes, he’s still inside the crypt with his critically splintered legs, and the massive concrete walls about to fall over him.

Photo by Parij Borgohain on Unsplash The city selfishly offers nothing for Manuel today. He’s very old, famished and weary, but nobody cares—not even his ungrateful children who consider him an embarrassment. As he lies down, a mouse looks at him curiously. “I’m sorry, I have nothing to give you,” he whispers to his little friend. He reaches for a purple garment, hugs it dearly and unknowingly, tears trickle down his face. “Thank you. I never felt so alone with you,” he muttered before closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep. In the morning, two rich men weep in regret, but it’s too late.

Photo by Laura Cleffmann on Unsplash The school year was ending. Eric was racing against time to tell Reeva that he loves her.  And he needed to know if she had kept her promise four years ago, that she would be his girlfriend if he would ask her. Five days later, he was ecstatic. They shared the moment, not anymore as best friends but as lovers. College began. They separated without connection but love letters. Time escaped and she fell for someone else—not just once—until she got married. Brokenness almost consumed him, but he learned to let go and move on. But that’s what Eric thought… THE CUTHING EDGE     CAPTURED       THE BREADIEWER       HUBPAGES A WALK THROUGH LIFE         AMAZON     BARNES & NOBLES
