Michelle checked under the toddler bed and behind the shelves and dresser in Ella’s bedroom. Jake scoured the living room. Olivia put down the book she was reading under extreme eye-rolling protest to search the hallways and kitchen.

“Choo! Choo! Here comes the baby express! Spare me,” thought Ella. “Everyone knows that alphabet puzzles are so 12-18 months ago.” So she pushed it aside and moved on to the one of the US maps. She gave bonus points for the pieces being cut to the shapes of the states, but it was all […]

Ever since she discovered that people were watching her, Sylvia was too paranoid to go out in public. So she spent most of her time holed up in the house watching Court TV and infomercials. She didn’t know if she was losing it, or if she was just extremely bored, because she found this one […]

You want to know a secret? I actually started out in janitorial, if you can believe it! And what’s even crazier than that, I’ve only been here a week! How is that even possible? I’ll explain! You see, it was my second day, and I was just doing my job – using my map to […]

An excerpt from my rejected spec script for the show, Sherlock: Int. British Room Day SHERLOCK enters, looking tall, vampire-y, and British. JOHN WATSON follows him in, also in looking British but not as tall and pretty much vampire-free. The room is decorated with ANTIQUE-Y BRITISH-LOOKING STUFF. A small TERRIER sleeps on the couch. The […]
