The memoir, OUR LIFE IN GOLF, chronicles my life in golf with my father's. Mike Bencriscutto is the singularly defined expression of a life colored in spiritual and athletic genius-representing a neoclassical renaissance of patriarchal beauty blended with the American 20th Century small town. He painted his Racine community and the rest of the world with his goodness of soul, disciplined talent, charitable wit, with a forward-thinking philosophical mind, and the courage of divine nobility. From this stance he cradled his love for the world. Where bountiful summer harvests still gathered from the carefully tended backyard gardens of his affectionate Calabrian-American family, a shade of rose-glow can be pictured. And his sir name, bene' criscutto, meaning in Italian, well grown, like the best prize-winning grape vines in Italy, this special man was planted in Wisconsin's green fields of golf to help them flourish-and that he did remarkably well.All Rights Reserved

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Waiting A Long Time by the-x-kid

big edit: hello, I wrote this when i was 16 and am now 25. I thought I would republish because it honestly gave me happiness to have something read so much. I am still pursuing writing--but this time, under a penname but still on this site. Maybe, one day, I will reveal that I wrote this too. So for those who have read before, thank you. For those that are going to read now, thank you. original text: THIS IS HONESTLY THE CRINGIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND WRITTEN. I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE LIKED IT SO MUCH THE FIRST TIME. I JUST READ THROUGH IT AND I'M DYING. Regardless, enjoy. (And, side note, in no way does this represent my current writing ability. I've grown since this. Keep that in mind). Thanks for reading though. Stay classy, dudes :~)

WE GATHER TOGETHER by Edward L. Woodyard by EdwardLWoodyard

Sometimes you have to go far away to realize just how close you really are. A straightforward, honest and emotional journey of the heart, We Gather Together is a perceptive and joyous story about a small-town suburban family that wants to come together at Thanksgiving but cannot. Highlighting four days in the life of the McCullochs, this novel is about family and forgiveness, reunion and redemption. It also, in essence, details five love stories woven within the fabric of this one family. Each such story represents a stage of love: young and new, confident and comfortable, troubled and chaotic, tragic and traumatic, and genuine and timeless. Told with acuity and humor, We Gather Together reaffirms that our greatest moments in life are derived from our simplest pleasures. Briefly, the novel centers on Sam and Julia McCulloch as they prepare for their annual Thanksgiving dinner at their home in Westchester County, New York, when three of their four children will be there for the holiday with spouses and grandchildren. Their eldest son Scott fled years ago and has distanced himself both physically and emotionally from most in the family after an altercation with his father involving the family printing business. Each of Sam and Julia's children has his/her own dilemma: second son Drew has a business predicament and a supportive wife in Cara; only daughter Annie is split from her husband Jack Drexler who wants to reconcile because of their kids, but he loses his job, complicating the separation; and youngest son Ben considers his future while he finishes up college and becomes involved with a fellow student, Alison. Unknown to anyone in the family, Scott, a recovering alcoholic, has recently suffered a devastating personal tragedy. Wanting to be alone, he avoids any reminder of the holidays; however, he finds himself helping a desperate colleague, Maya Noguchi, by driving her east across the country to meet a deadline.
