down in fogharty’s cove

November 13, 2011February 26, 2019 Shoe Skogen

13Nov 2011 I’m working on my Red Hood, tonight. I found a lovely little girl’s coat, the softest fur you could imagine! It’s going to line the cloak’s edges, and the hood. I have always wanted a lovely hood, lined with scrumptious plush! If I have enough left over (as I am dearly hoping) I… Continue reading down in fogharty’s cove

September 7, 2011February 26, 2019 Shoe Skogen

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 23:09:25 +0000 The needle flashed in the late afternoon light, shuttering up and down as Shulie’s hands moved the dark fabric under the machine’s foot with her hands.  The foot and needle both caught the light and glinted, while the black corduroy fabric seemed to swallow up the light.

Not Anyone I Knew

January 26, 2010February 27, 2019 Shoe Skogen

26 Jan 2010   She wasn’t anyone I knew. I met her once, in a bar on fifty-second street.  You know, one of those places where everyone orders gin & tonics, because at least you know that will taste bad in a way you’re used to, and all the other stuff behind the bar has… Continue reading Not Anyone I Knew

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:21:56 +0000   This was written for Clockabye.  It’s horrific and dark and I don’t know if it’s particularly well written, but I fretted over it for weeks, so there you go.
