THE AMBER CRISIS (part 1) No sooner had the horizon reached my eyes over the steady hill in the road, I heard a loud pop.

As my car rolled up on a brisk March night four years ago, I found myself gazing at a run-down shack on the side of the road.

I rounded the corner to meet a line... More..

And as I sit here with this pen in hand The room floats past, an absent lift from the real. Take my word, I'm jotting down the things I feel.

He saw The Jacobsens walking from their mini- van, the two younger boys clinging to their mother's side. Oh, how he regreted the way he had lived. ... More..

Ever since dad died, things were never the same around the house. Holidays lacked their luster, soccer games were never as exciting as they had been.
