The house was already consumed by flames.
THE END
INSPIRED BY MY HAIKU: Fear of the Scarecrow
In a field you hang
Upon this wood post you wait
For the night’s darkness

BIO
I was born in Bristol, Tennessee, in 1972 and grew up in a little town in the Appalachian Mountains called Abingdon, Virginia. In those small town days I fell in love with many things, among them reading. Reading was a way to escape from a town whose borders always seemed to be too tight. I discovered my love of writing in college, under the influence of various Stephen King novels. The first time I read a novel by him, I knew I would need to write for the rest of my life.
I took my time getting through college (10 years, to be exact), leaving and returning several times. I finally earned my degree in Media Writing in 2004. At the time, I intended to make a path in the screenwriting industry. I quickly found that writing screenplays didn’t capture me, so I turned back to writing short stories and novels. In the process, I learned to apply many screenwriting techniques to my writing. Quick, fast, and always moving forward, pumping like a heartbeat – that’s the way I shape my stories.
I also have several other loves, among them running, listening to music (heavy metal mostly), or just spending time with my family. My wife and I live with our kids and two cats in central North Carolina. I am a stay-at-home dad, a total role reversal, and it is the most challenging rewarding job I have ever held.
Thanks again for reading my story.
I hope you have a great day or evening or night, depending on when you finished it.
