In the white between the black, a boy seeks his fortune. Runner-up in @LiteraryFiction 's first competition.

Short story for the Literary Fiction Network contest where the prompt is to capture the struggle of a writer in 700 words or less. Being that alcohol and writers tend to go hand-in-hand, I chose to write a story about a poet plagued by writer's block, excessively drinking Hennessy to get the juice flowing again.

Also, the title and indeed drink itself is inspired by 2pac.

Solace is a short story series. Each story is a new character with a new dilemma and a different solution. It's a series about sadness, loss, betrayal, pride, death, happiness, injury, faith, humanity and much more. These are stories about real issues.

photographs and snapshots are all that remain in the urban square, haunted in geometric designs now almost without reason, no baroque pedestal that upheld severed marble heads. only forming ledges to compose stairs and boxes containing soil. somehow, the static on tv with the intertwined signals producing nothing seemed oddly familiar in its mass of checkered pixels
