Short Stories
Short vignettes about the world around me though my imagination "remembers" things differently.

Road Rage
Our peaceful morning walk was shattered by the shouts and taunts from a passing vehicle—a moment of unbridled road rage.
A Crappy Little Short Story
This is not a literary masterpiece. It’s a crappy little short story. A tale of rainy weather, dog walking, and the necessary output from those efforts.

Rural highways, small towns, a big funeral, and lots of crops, but no service stations in sight and I was running on empty.
Black Magic
How do you create black magic in the middle of the night? Two dogs, two rabbits, a bright flashlight, a social media post, and an evil overlord.

The heroic rescue of the boys in Thailand sparked the memory of my own spelunking experience which included a cave entrapment of the minor kind.
Eyes Wide Open
The middle of the night. A dark bedroom. My sleep disturbed. I find myself clutching the covers with my eyes wide open. Oh, the horror.
Brad And His Date
A wink-and-a-smile charming young man, Brad was a scoundrel. A mostly true tale of Brad and his date on a sidewalk in Folly Beach, South Carolina.
Tide Pod Challenge
The Tide Pod Challenge is the latest teenage craze sweeping social media. Good thing we weren’t that stupid as kids. Or were we?

SHORT STORY – Law Enforcement Officers have a most challenging job, but sometimes their stories have great levity – such as this one with the protest, “I wasn’t driving!”
Three Ways To Follow D.K. Wall
Social
Media
Social media is great when it works, but in their quest for advertising dollars, social media channels like Facebook insist I pay them to share my posts with my readers and even that doesn't guarantee it. Train your feed by liking and commenting on posts.
