  • At the End of the Day – Living on Borrowed Time a new short story by Freddy S. Zalta

    Book One  Chapter One  Henry was nervous. Doctor had called him late the previous evening and told him that he wanted to see him first thing in the morning. Henry didn’t tell anyone about the call. Anyone being his wife, two kids and his mother. Although he had a brother and sister – they had…

  • At the End of the Day Book 2 Chapter 9

    Wendy was glowing and the light that surrounded her let out a warmth that spread across whatever room she would enter. When she walked down the short aisle towards Henry it seemed as if millions of rays filled with light, warmth and beauty were shooting off her.

  • Why, How and When?

    I walk towards an empty bench and sit there with my pen and paper. Whiling the time away ’til my love gets here hopefully right on time. A lone ice cream truck playing a familiar tune hoping to hypnotize the children into begging for a cone, or a cup of Italian ices…but even the kids…

    He had called the original Doctor on Monday and asked him if he should get a second opinion. “By all means, Mr. Mann. I will have all your medical records and test results ready for pickup with the front desk. I am hoping there was an error made or a better prognosis than what I…

    Chapter 5 Pamela and Michael decided it was time to be concerned. They had kept in touch with Wendy since they first saw her two days earlier. She had no idea where their father had gone and had gone searching around town, went to the Marriott and asked for him. As far as they knew…

  • True Self – Key to Happiness

    True happiness is when we are able to be our “true self” without fear of rejection. You see, we all have someone inside of us, the dreamer, the optimist, the one who can change the world for the better, we dare not reveal in full, for fear of rejection or failure. I call that person…

  • Silence So Loud

    Silence so Loud Silence… Then…a swirling tornado, a child crying…Silence. A waterfall so loud it echoes across the land – infinite drops of water… Falling, crashing, being born and thrust into a whirlpool – a community of water… Silence… Silence so loud it can drive you mad… Fast transportation – no patience for the journey.…

  • Can You Hear the Music?

    Somewhere in time there is a song playing, a well dressed man and a lady in a gown are dancing slowly in rhythm to the music. There is a live band playing that song – all of the members are dressed in a tuxedo and the piano player is singing. Somewhere in time. Somewhere there…
