Writing – D.M. Kurtz

Home

Well. It has been a hot minute since I have posted anything (yes, I said hot minute. Showing my age. Get over it lol.) Considering the rather melancholy note on which I left this blog inactive (see this post for reference), it is quite fitting that I should come back today with a remarkably positive spirit. A bit of inspiration was sparked from someone very dear to me. We were discussing hope, love and just sharing life through a conversation when she said something that gave me such pause that I stopped to not only remark on how beautiful I thought it was, but also that I felt I had heard it somewhere.

Naman & Sageeth: Chapter 2

Nefarious

Dark, damp… Cold. Very cold. Chills ran down his spine… His? He looked down at his naked form and… Yes, certainly a male. But what was that, exactly? What… Where was he? Everything was so foreign, surroundings unfamiliar. What could be his purpose here?

Don and Rodie had barely buckled themselves into their seats in the front of Don’s upgraded Dodge police cruiser before the female voice chimed through the radio in the dash.

Installment 4: Well That Was Unexpected

Installment 5: Clues To Nowhere?

It was like putting together a puzzle, really. Start with one clue that leads to the next, moving and flowing from point to point until it started to take shape and become clear. At least, that’s how it was supposed to work. In this particular case, however, Rodie was baffled, because nothing made sense. Whoever had killed Marcus was Continue reading Durango – Installment 5

The gentle chattering of slightly distorted voices was, at first, all that Jason noticed. He slowly opened his eyes… or at least, he attempted to do so. His lids, however, did not immediately respond. Continue reading Cursed By Rebirth? – Installment 1

Installment 2: Baby Steps

“Alright, just ten more seconds.”

Amanda’s cheerful voice was almost overwhelmed by the pounding of Jason’s own heart. It took all of his focus to keep his outstretched arms from trembling around the Continue reading Cursed By Rebirth? – Installment 2
