I enjoy experimenting with strange short stories, typically written in the second person.

The latest, "Dream of Crows," can be found here: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=156085487&blogID=429577764

Stop by, read, and let me know what you think.

Well done, Malcolm. Reminds me of something from the Twilight Zone or the other one from that era. I don't remember the name; Rod Serling sticks in my mind, and the was Twilight... right?

Thanks for reading it, Abe and Zada. Horrible pun, Abe. Thanks for sending me a message, Zada, about the typo. It's been fixed.

I was a big fan of the TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents which featured weird little half-hour dramas, many of which ended with nothing resolved. I met Serling once at college English department talk. I liked both the Twilight Zone and Night Gallery. That's where I got brainwashed.

Add to those the "Outer Limits" and that is probably where my twisted imagination came from, as well. I had forgotten Night Gallery's Title, but that is what I was thinking of.

I always thought Hitchcock was a master of story telling (or whoever wrote the tales), and the show replays here sometimes. Alas, I don't usually catch it.
