Ticket to Ride – by Bob Corpening
https://anchor.fm/bob-corpening/episodes/Cahokia-ekj71c Richard Banks sat alone in the chill night air, waiting for the bus. The seat was cold underneath him, but he didn’t seem to care. He wasn’t sure why, it just didn’t matter to him right then. Nothing did. The bus stop was located squarely atop the tallest mountain in Caldera County, and usually … Continue reading Ticket to Ride – by Bob Corpening
Moonstruck – by Bob Corpening
https://anchor.fm/bob-corpening/episodes/Cahokia-ekj71c “Kelie! Come quick, you’re gonna miss it!” “I’m comin’, I’m comin’,” Kelie said, slipping onto the porch, a tall glass of sweet tea in each hand. Ice clinked against the glass, its rustling unnoticed in the stupor of that hot summer night. “Getcher butt over here, doll,” Brayden said, thumping the patio step next … Continue reading Moonstruck – by Bob Corpening
Snake Oil – by Bob Corpening
https://anchor.fm/bob-corpening/episodes/Cahokia-ekj71c The Salesman stood atop a hill, watching the sun rise over the quaint village below, roosters crowing at the approaching dawn.

He slipped his trusty old flute back into his waistband and watched the grass ripple down the hill, towards the … Continue reading Snake Oil – by Bob Corpening

Infinity… and Beyond – by Bob Corpening
https://anchor.fm/bob-corpening/episodes/Cahokia-ekj71c Jaspers’ comms link buzzed obnoxiously, a bright red link blinking inside her helmet. “Will he never just leave me alone?” she muttered to herself, switching on the link. The airlock door slid shut, leaving her alone in the vast emptiness of space. It was almost peaceful. The audio link crackled to life, … Continue reading Infinity… and Beyond – by Bob Corpening
Goosebumps – by Bob Corpening
https://anchor.fm/bob-corpening/episodes/Cahokia-ekj71c Aiden ran his fingers gently across his bracelet, the familiar braille words pressing reassuringly into his skin. Be safe. The last thing she’d ever given him, when he came to visit on that final day. Be safe. It made him happy, that simple little thing. To know that, in her final days, all his … Continue reading Goosebumps – by Bob Corpening
The Northern Model (Teaser) – by Bob Corpening
“You got everything, Wilson?” Wilson swung his arms wide, like a bird taking flight, then brought them down in a firm pat against his pockets. “Looks that way. Thanks for looking out for me, Warden. Give the boys my regards.” “Oh!” the warden exclaimed. “Before I forget.” The warden slipped a stuffed envelope into … Continue reading The Northern Model (Teaser) – by Bob Corpening
A Review of The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger by Stephen King
I got into Stephen King a few years back with a memoir of his, On Writing, and a collection of short stories called Bazaar of Bad Dreams. King is one of the most successful authors of all time, and as a still-forming horror writer myself, I figured I really needed to study his works. The … Continue reading A Review of The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger by Stephen King

I find myself and my name bear insult upon insult and injury upon injury. However, now I see, or rather do not, how the words of my colleagues are naught but rubbage, for … Continue reading Vetus Lapidibus – by Bob Corpening
