They could have brushed their hands in satisfaction. But they didn't. No smile arched their faces; no congratulatory words passed their lips. A woman was dead.

"All for nothing," one of them said.

The other lit a cigarette and blew smoke in the direction of the sinking car. The white fumes faded just as the hood of the convertible sank. "There are always innocent victims..."

"This path has no winners." There was nothing to see but regret across the calm waters of Lake Michigan. "May God have mercy on your soul."

As he turned away, the other was left to wonder if the prayer was for the dead, or for him…

- Gloria Swanson, American actress

Poem of the Day - 6/22

1

On the bed
a suitcase empty
but still open.

The room key's
ball and chain.
Your nightdress.

His passport
handed back
too quickly at the desk.

Look at him
and tell me
do you recognise this man?

2

Your heart is beating
behind bars.
The blinds are down.

That hammering
is neither wind nor rain
but somebody wants in.

He waits outside.
A fine mist
shrouds his face.

You call him by a name
already lost
so who is it that comes?

3

Between the pillow
and his head
an understanding.

Between the mattress
and your thigh
a sheet of ice.

Between his nakedness
and body heat
an absence.

Between your hunger
and his appetite
a shadow line.

4

The car you planned
to leave in
is unregistered.

Its ignition's tick
a flint
that will not catch.

The road ahead
has narrowed
to a vanishing perspective.

The way you came
without him
takes you home.

Dark Bayou - 0.00

Book Description

Publication Date: May 5, 2011

“The Spanish moss swayed eerily in the breeze that brought with it fat rain drops that plopped onto the water, rippling the reflection of the darkening sky. That was when we saw the cabin, far off in a corner on the west bank. It was as I had seen it in my dreams—rustic long-forgotten by the world, save for whatever occupied its malevolent little frame. And whatever it was, was nothing more than a black silhouette in a creaking rocking chair on the tiny porch. As I stared at the phantom rocker, it suddenly stopped in mid rock, picked up its head and turned to me, grinning, and started rocking away, never taking its yellow eyes off of me. And there, in the humid twilight of the swamp, a bitter chill washed over me, and my spine felt like ice.”

Quick History Story - 6/16/12

Jun 16, 1896:

Tsunami ravages Japanese coast

As daylight breaks, survivors of a tsunami in Japan find that more than 20,000 of their friends and family have perished overnight.

The tsunami resulted from a disturbance in the Japan Trench, 120 miles east of Japan's main island of Honshu. This deep underwater gorge is located where the Pacific tectonic plate is pushing under the Asian plate. A large earthquake at the fault caused a massive displacement of water.

In Kamaishi and along the Sanriku coast of Honshu, people were celebrating a yearly festival. Many felt the far-off quake, later estimated at a magnitude of 7.6, but most safely ignored the gentle rolling of the ground. However, about 20 minutes later, the harbor waters receded suddenly and, 15 minutes after that, an enormous tsunami crashed into the town's coastline.

Waves may have reached as high as 115 feet in some places. Entire villages all along the coast were washed away during the evening. Fishermen who were working at sea and people living several miles inland, though, had no clue about the destruction until the following morning, when they arrived at the shore to find miles of the coast lined with wreckage and corpses. The final death toll was estimated at between 22,000 and 27,000 people.

This section of the Japanese coast seems vulnerable to such disasters. On March 3, 1933, 75-foot waves resulting from an 8.9-magnitude quake killed 3,000 people. Accounts also tell of destructive waves in 869 and 1611.

Approximately one third of all major earthquakes produce damaging tsunamis.

Killer: A Journal Of Murder - 0.00

Book Description

Publication Date: June 11, 2012

Reviews:

A well written story of truth. A young man who seemed to outwit everyone around him even after his death. A young couple who was so in love or sometimes I wonder if he knew what love really meant. A troubled young man who had two personalities which would change in an instant.

A young girl who loved him so much, but yet was afraid of him because after the murder she never knew what he would do next. This book moved me with pity and sadness for the young girl who was so fearful of her own life and her family's life, that she was in an emotional wreck. Her own self worth was being questioned.

She endured so much in such a short time it nearly drove her insane.
I felt compassion for her in the book after reading it. This is a very powerful, outrageous, shocking truth how a person's life can be normal one day, and then all of a sudden it is turned into a living nightmare. A nightmare everyday to overcome and try to become the person she once was before she wittnessed a murder." A page turner...it kept me reading till the end. This book will not disappoint you!

This book brought tears to my eyes for all involved...the writer, the parents of all parties, and the victim. If I were in her shoes, I probably would have done the same thing. She obviously didn't want to help the killer, but she wanted to protect herself and her unborn child. I highly recommend this book to other true crime readers like mysteries.

“Killing is easy, so the voices in my head say while I creep up the steps, my heart in my mouth. Stay calm, killing is easy and I keep telling myself that I only have to think of the dust, the blood and the wretchedness of how a life is erased. Killing is easy; I repeat silently and try to concentrate on my goal …”

In Prague, in Central Europe, a businessman is brutally murdered. All the leads point to Linz, Austria, to a highly influential but shady company.
Is the psychopathic owner of the company implicated in the murder and what do the photos of his sister show?

In his first case, Chief Inspector Tony Braun, has to solve brutal murders and hunt a murderer from Central Europe to Spain; a murderer who knows only one motive: revenge.

There is a place where nightmares are real. It is a dark and terrifying place, hidden from the world we know, by borders that only the most unfortunate of souls will ever cross.

It only got stranger.

For James has somehow found his way to The Corridor. A place where zombies stumble in the darkness, ever seeking the flesh and blood of the living.
