I Gotta Admit…

Posted on December 31, 2022 by fpdorchak

I’ve missed writing! I haven’t written an original word in over two months and just this week had gotten back to my work in progress(WIP)…and it feels…magical. I’ve been heavily focusing on the violin—and I truly am enjoying it and … Continue reading →

A Sermon Unleashed

Posted on October 14, 2016 by fpdorchak

You just never know who some people are when you meet them. Especially at night in a KOA campground. I remember one or two times our family stayed at some KOAs. It was fun…the six of us and our family … Continue reading →

Attention Span

Posted on September 9, 2016 by fpdorchak

I got the idea for this story while attending a multi-level marketing seminar some twenty-five, thirty years ago. I still remember as I sat in the audience (on folding chairs) and looked around, everyone (except me) was focused in what … Continue reading →

Drive-Ins

Posted on July 8, 2016 by fpdorchak

I love drive-in theaters! We used to frequent one in the town we live in, packed up the truck with sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets—our dog—and drove off to the Aircadia Drive-In. Back the truck in and drop the tail … Continue reading →

A Conversation With Hell

Posted on May 13, 2016 by fpdorchak

This story appears to be the first (or among the first) story I’d written as an adult and began recording, as I got full time into writing as a business. As an ongoing intent. From my earliest records, it appears … Continue reading →

The Chain Letter

Posted on April 29, 2016 by fpdorchak

Back before e-mail and the Internet, there were these things called “chain letters.” Actual letters that randomly circulated to the “unlucky” for immediate global dissemination and unheralded good luck upon the recipient. I received the exact chain letter in this … Continue reading →

Red Hands

Posted on April 22, 2016 by fpdorchak

October 28, 2004 I was interviewed on a local radio station about things-paranormal. I’d met the station’s News Director and had noticed that she seemed, well…leery…of me (it was a “weird” handshake—she didn’t want to shake my hand!). Her name … Continue reading →

Nightborders

Posted on April 15, 2016 by fpdorchak

There is truth to the saying that those who piss off a writer may well end up in said writer’s story…and not in a good way (like, “Ewww, hurt me!”). I knew a girl once…back in ’89…who said a spiteful … Continue reading →

St. Vincent

Posted on February 12, 2016 by fpdorchak

I follow a belief system that is not traditional. I don’t say I follow “XYZ” because I don’t like attributing labels to what I believe in. But some of its concepts can be quite a reach for many: that we … Continue reading →

Brains

Posted on February 5, 2016 by fpdorchak

This story gives new meaning to someone who has a “mind of their own.” Stories about parts of our bodies taking on lives of their own can be interesting. Is it an obvious story idea for writers…or is it more … Continue reading →
