Dear Readers

Fear not the Darkness, But What Lies Within, The recesses of our mind, The creepy cobwebbed corners,That lingers on and tickles us,With tingle feelings of alarm, The deep in the stomach, Pain we feel when we do warn, The fear is deadly it seeks, The deepest corner of our mind, It's just a story to alarm,Educate and provide entertainment for our minds. So read on dear reader, I hope you find the stories amusing and full of charm.

Spring?


“If it isn’t torrential raining, it’s blizzardy. I’m sick off winter. It’s like a circus elephant doing tricks no one wants to see,” I complained.
“We’ve had one of the shortest winters I remember so far; what three months? You’re such a whiner.”
“Shut-up Jack we can never afford  a winter vacation… “
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry, too; it’s just this weather; cold wet dreary and never ending. We’re in this together I love you.”
“I love you too. It will end soon and spring will come, then summer.”

The doorbell rang and I wondered who the heck that could be all my friends were away on their vacations. I peered through the peephole.

“Delivery,” a man said standing holding something wrapped in brown paper and plastic.
Cautiously I opened the door and the man handed me the parcel. I took inside and noted it was addressed to me. Opening it I saw a window box with glorious blooming flowers and nestled in amongst them an envelope. I opened the envelope and it contained two tickets to Phoenix Arizona and a note that said, 

Surprise my love, I’ve been working tons of overtime; we’re booked off the next two days and now we can have our vacation. 
P.S. Don’t worry about the flowers, April says they’ll be blooming when we get back.
Happy Early Anniversary
Love Jack
I smiled and began to pack.

Jack and I had fun and returned renewed and refreshed, my flowers a welcome burst of spring.
