Hello Everyone,
I returned from my sudden vacation with the necessity to work through the trauma of experiencing four deaths in three months. It’s something that I don’t wish on anyone. I’m back to what I love to do, now, and that is writing.
Continuing with my unreleased Flash Fiction Anthology, here is my first snippet from A STRANGE ENCOUNTER CHANGES TWO PEOPLE FOREVER.
Have a lovely day,
Shalom shalom
Giuseppe’s right ear moved upward. Robust laughter almost shattered his eardrum.
Could Christmas Eve bring him such a massive sweet gift?
The laughter vibrated through his entire body, making him tremble. Putting down his pool stick, he walked to the dining area to see who had released the wavelength of the full-bodied laugh that caused his ear to move.
Giuseppe, (Sep), walked to the door that led out into the dining area. He noticed the table across the floor opposite him clothed in candlelight. There he saw her. Three women were sitting at a table listening intently to a dark, brown-skinned woman, caught up in whatever she was saying. Sep zoned in on her with his eyes. With his photographic memory, he took pictures, marking the small, chiseled nose and thick lips that stood out on her face. Seized by the vocal vibrations of her voice, he wondered how the chubby-sized woman would react if he covered her lips with his mouth. Would she stare at him with fright in her eyes, thinking that he was some kind of monster or a freak whose face had been put together crookedly?

Hello, Pat – glad you are back. Sometimes life is almost too painful to endure… but we have to keep going. Dig deep and find the joy.
Sending hugs for all the loss you’ve experienced, my friend. This excerpt has me wanting to read more. Welll done!

Pat I’m so sorry you went through so much sorrow in so short a time. I was too distracted to notice that you weren’t here. I head a religious organization and am doing some recruiting and other things to rebuild our aging organization, which I will write about when I get some time. A whole chapter is written about it in my very first book, Our Lady of Victory. It’s called Santa Maria Council #105. It’s a very interesting and historic story.
Anyway, I am drawn to your latest writing. Sounds like a good read.
You take care of yourself!
