Plasma

Hacked phlegm stained his blanket. “Doctor, are you still there?” He asked. He wiped his mouth with the blanket. Doctor Rufus rushed to the bedside and grabbed the patient’s hand. “Of course.” “Heh, for aContinue reading “Plasma”

The Quartz Child
By Kevin Joseph Reigle When I bought the house, the realtor didn’t tell me a movie was filmed on the property. I ended up hearing about it from an old-timer down at the market.
