“West Wings”

“The Prospect”

A man takes to the river with a few unlikely traveling partners. The road ahead is rough. The water’s unpredictable. But the company? Better than he expected. The Prospect is a story about what happens when you head out looking for one thing and end up finding something else entirely. 🎵 Featured Song: Good Company — Jesse Waldman

“The Wait Between”

Every Greek play has that one moment: the stage still, the chorus watching, the hero stuck between choices. That’s this story. The moment that isn’t a moment at all. Just the wait. 🎵 Featured Song: Choo Choo Parker Rose by Cowboy Supernova

“Pails In Comparison”

A man. A bucket. Nothing unusual, until the moment it is. He isn’t searching for meaning. He isn’t searching for anything. But sometimes life taps you on the shoulder anyway. Pails in Comparison is a quiet story about the instant something everyday tilts… and you notice. 🎵 Featured Song: Small Town Pride — Nick Loux

“West Wings”

I wrote West Wings in 2015, wanting to try my hand at a modern fable. Something simple on the surface, but carrying a small oddness underneath. It follows a creature who ends up somewhere he never expected to be, carried by forces bigger than he understands, and changed in ways he won’t recognize until much later. A story about motion, chance, and the odd, wind-tossed places we sometimes land. And the feeling only home can bring. This, is West Wings. 🎵 Featured Song: “Sloop John B” — HillTopTrio

“A Desk In a Field of Flowers and Grass”

A desk rests in the middle of a field. Untouched by time. When I first wrote this story in 2010, I was experimenting with something more classical: long notes of description, soft edges, a bit of romantic prose inspired by the music I grew up hearing at home. I wrote it to feel like Little Bear meets a chamber piece. Simple, calm, and strangely alive. This episode is an invitation to wander through that space: where wildflowers lean in, memory lingers, and even the ordinary can feel orchestral. 🎵 Featured Song: “Troy” — Lost In Japan
