Early Frost

Well with the chill settling in Cincinnati, it got me thinking about the impending winter, which in turn got me thinking about story ideas.

Always intrigued by the way the snow seems to insulate sound and keeps it from coming to us. It's like a perfect sound proofing blanket to hide whatever sounds might be there...screams...the rending of flesh...

When I find foliage that peeks through the snow, flowers, berries something colorful it makes me wonder what is underneath making it bloom...something dark and sweet...something fetid and foul...

Well, now that the idea factory is churning I'm going to crack open the laptop and get to clickety clacking...
