1. Walter Thornley

    Private Summer Wine

    As daylight slowly softened from the pale platinum into the bronze that streamed through the elm trees, he'd ridden off the main tract and down a narrow path into the woods. There, by the river, he'd built a small towerling of branches in a fire pit, dusted the drake blanket off and put his...

    Private Winds of Wonder

    “Walter?” She took some care not to startle him, voice soft, approach measured by distinct clicks of her heels, the noise with which her gem-blue skirt swayed against the floor. His nose was warm. The space behind his eyelids was lit up in an amber-red. He must have slept late, Walter deduced...

    Dare Two by the River

    Swift current pushed against red wooded hull, as practiced hands worked steady rhythms with wide paddled oars held firm in grip. Arms pumped smooth. Sure. In tandem as sharp eyes shaded beneath wide blue brim looked beyond the shimmer of cloud-muted sunlight come off ripple and break along the...

    Private the First Rung

    Down the street at a brisk step went a man. He had to thank the cold weather for how appropriate it made a hitched up pace, for he would’ve rather died than been caught in public actually hurrying. But he was hurrying, undoubtedly. Had the high collar of his overcoat and the wrap about the...
