Dream of the Apple Head

February 22nd, 2010 by Jeremy Trylch

I dream I’m standing in the living room in my Grandpa Charlie’s farm house, the house I’d grown up in.  My Grandpa Charlie sits on an oak chair at the kitchen table carving an apple.  Grandma Kathrine rocks in her favorite chair working white cotton with knitting needles.

But if Maurice comes in, I do what ever he says. (more…)

100 Word Story: A Boy and His Beach

June 1st, 2009 by Jeremy Trylch

He was born on a coconut strewn beach and raised on coconut juice and fish pulled from the sea. He learned nothing but what the sea and the sand had to teach. Then they came and said they’d bought his beach. And he went out to sea on a skiff made of styrofoam and teak and watch them build high-rises of steel and concrete. Then foreigners came, burning their skin, leaving trash on the beach. And the man who knew only what the sea and the sand had to teach died in view of his trash strewn beach.
