• The Mission on May 24, 2015
  
  The Mission is a short horror piece that compels you to read to the end. The encounter in a crumbling mission with plant life bent on digesting adventurous boys is gripping in its detail and suspense.
  
• The Inter-Galactic Gourmet on Jan. 20, 2016
  
  Cynthia's hungry and a tad miserable stuck in her alien disguise. The boy's odd with his cold blue eyes, but perhaps plump. Plump enough. The consequences of their meeting produces a short piece of horror sprinkled with giggles. You'll enjoy the unexpected and strange in this story. I certainly did.
