My Work

Al always said I did my best work on fish, but I think I do just fine on deer mounts and hogs and the like. Al says the eyes just don’t look right, but I disagree. A lot of people either hate or discredit modern taxidermy, everyone has their reasons. 
I used to take photos of my work; creations posed in some clever way. I posted them online and got some feedback for a while, but then some said it was a gross display of pride, some said it glorified the murder of animals, some just couldn’t seem to appreciate the effort put into such art. They’d criticize and go on-and-on poking fun at my work. 
I stopped posting photos online and started sending them directly to my friends who actually seemed to enjoy them. I worked extra hard on my next pieces for my small, select  audience. My ex-wife Jessica, Al, and his wife Cindy were really the only audience I maintained. I sent them photographs of my work, and for a while, they would reply with kind criticisms or simple approval. 
Eventually, Jessica and Al stopped replying to my photos—they were always like-minded. But Cindy never stopped. She always appreciated my work, which is why I’ve decided to include her. Jessica and Al are now banging on my door. I sent them a photo of Cindy posed seductively in my collection. My work must have finally caught their attention.

She loved flowers, dancing, and spring. What she loved more anything, though, were the hummingbirds.  He left her with children to raise on her own. The children had children, and they had their own.  Now and then he’d send her letters about tattoos he’d had done, unaware of his soon-to-be-born great-grandson. She’d put the past behind her, then one day the mail arrived. Memaw read his last letter with no tear, no cry to be heard.   They both passed the same day, when the newest was born.  The new baby boy had a birthmark resembling a hummingbird.

Coming Home

In their will, they had left her everything, including the house, but it had not been enough to keep her from leaving town and cutting communication with him for years. Through separation, he had learned to heal and to forget. He avoided old friends, that street, anything that might resurface the pain. Then, one day, the phone rang. She had returned to town, finally ready to do something with the house. She intended to sell it, but some work needed to be done. Besides, it would be a good opportunity for a reunion . He noticed she had already removed the carpet throughout the house, except one area. With that corner, where the carpet had refused to come up, he fought. Every inch of progress, paid for with pain. She watched as he struggled, and could not help but think how much he looked just like their father .  Just like him. His heart raced. Suppressed memories flooded his mind as he eyed the door to the basement that had been hidden beneath the carpet. He opened the doo...
