A Homeless Woman Sits In An Alley Writing

January 1st, 2022
A Homeless Woman Sits In An Alley Writing
 
These words I write late at night. These words I write without fright. Siren’s, flashing lights fly past. A couple a few apartments above argue. The pavement’s cold. The temperature’s warm. Nightclubs just closed. Plenty of clubgoers walking the streets, socializing, joking, laughing, as they make their way home. City buses are frequent. Neon signs light up the end of the alley. The moon’s bright. Stars are vast. The alley’s dark, distant. Water drips from an air conditioner in a windowsill above. The buildings are brick, vintage looking. Graffiti’s sprayed on their walls. “Drink, Laugh, Flirt, Kiss”. The silhouette of a mouse scurries into a drain pipe. The couple above stopped arguing. The streets grew quite. My eyes grew tired. With a duffel bag as a pillow, I lay my head down to sleep.

Publication Of: Light Throughout The Night

January 1st, 2022

Light Throughout The Night, by George Farina
 
Today, I am very happy to announce the release and publication of my second book: Light Throughout The Night.

Light Throughout The Night came to life during October of 2018, while I was tent camping. Anticipating November Novel Month, and having the urge to write, inspired me to begin writing Light Throughout The Night.

I began a month early, simply because I knew I couldn’t finish a novel within a month. Just about two years later, 44,632 words later, and 14 chapters later, I was finally putting the finishing touches on the book. A little over a year after finishing the book, I’m finally in a position to release Light Throughout The Night for publication.

Without further ado, I announce the official release and publication of:

Light Throughout The Night, by George Farina

(2022-01-02) Light Throughout The Night is fiction, primarily a drama, specifically, a sports action drama. Even though the story is fiction, the book displays a sense of realness.

Light Throughout The Night is somewhat futuristic, partly educational, with a taste of sexiness. The main character is named Glow. She’s named after the 1980’s television show, G.L.O.W. Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.

Regardless of the genre, Light Throughout The Night details Glow’s life story. During the early years of Glow’s life, the deck was stacked against her. Because of her situation, she didn’t have an opportunity to live a decent life. As Glow grew older, she didn’t find her niche in society. Her past kept her from finding happiness.

Light Throughout The Night takes readers from Glow’s birth, through to her adulthood. Her story is passionate, dramatic, and adventurous, while touching upon more serious issues such as child abuse, homelessness and lack of equality. Within the pages of Light Throughout The Night, Glow displays resilience as she tries to find happiness, peace and peace within herself.

Sounds

January 1st, 2022
Sounds
 
Ahh, the cap of a beer twists open. Faint echo’s in the distance. The sound of rushing water. Leaves rustling. A homeless man plucking the strings of a guitar. A sexy accent. A vintage ceiling fan squeaks as it slowly turns. Peanuts, peanuts, get your fresh roasted peanuts. Arepa, Arepa, Arepa, Arepa. A train rapidly thunders through a city. Heals clanking against tiles. A stomach’s growl. Wind howls. A sigh, getting in bed late at night, after working all day. A woman giggling while flirting. The sound of new sneakers squeaking. The pitter patter of a heartbeat. A rain storm pounding a puddle. Low heals shuffling down a hallway. Dong, dong, a clock strikes midnight. A metal bed frame squeaks, crackling at the slightest movement. Buuzzzz, buuzzzz, snooze, buuzzzz, buuzzzz, snooze, time to get up. A warm sweatshirt crackles with static as it’s pulled overhead. A cat purring. The silence of a mime.

Young Couple

January 1st, 2022
Young Couple
 
A young couple dances all night. Closing time, gotta grab a bite. Early morning at a local cafe, violin music plays. Hours later, sleeping by the pool. In the evening, together they shower. Dinner at a diner. Flipping through the jukebox, a record spins. Flirtatious conversations. Cake for desert, feeding each other, eyes filled with desire. Late at night, the beach is empty. The cork pops on a bottle, close together they stay. Under the moonlight and stars, conversations about nothing, gleaming smiles, sparkling eyes. As the sun rises, intertwined, they close their eyes. Wake to whistles. Sitting up with a kiss. Shower and laundry. Sunday afternoon, the laundry mat’s filled. Driers spin, steam in the air, glistening skin. Each with a good book, neither could resist. Riding the bus, she pulls the wire. Arriving home, they finish the weekend sleeping in.

Pink Boxing Gloves

January 1st, 2022
Pink Boxing Gloves
 
Wearing pink boxing gloves, she stands in the corner of the ring.
Lathered in sweat, she knows she has to win.
Poised and calm, the nervousness is gone.
The crowd cheers. She doesn’t hear a sound.
Her heart beats steady, muscles ready.
Ding Ding.
The battle begins.

A Man Stands Outside his Apartment. A Lady Sits On A Bus Bench

January 1st, 2022

 

Two Heads Lay To Rest
 
A man stands outside his apartment. A pigeon nests on a nearby windowsill. The faint sound of a train in the distance is soothing. Someone down the street runs after a bus. A cassette tape turns inside a boombox. Street performers breakdance. Chicks wearing Wayfarers and Legwarmers watch. Rain drops slowly fall. Small, soft, calming raindrops. No one seems bothered. A lady sits on a bus bench, desirable, yet she sits alone.
 
Later at night, inside a nightclub the dance floor’s packed. He’s all alone, looking up, turning, yearning. Lights flash, spotlights, music blasts. Sudden warmth. Breasts against his chest. Her arms wrapped around his waist. Pressed together the music slows, moving to the sounds, hearts pound. Closing time, leaving hand and hand. Through the crowds, to the street into a small pizzeria to grab a bite to eat. Neither asks the other their name. The feelings of temptation are the same. Hours later, bodies drenched in sweat, two heads lay to rest.

In 2020 I posted a blog post with bunch of questions without the answers. The below post is similar, with different questions.

* What are some of the things you’ve done, for which you didn’t apologize, though, should have apologized?

* During the course of your life, who were / are the people who have cared about you the most? Why did they care about you? How much do you know about them? What are the things you don’t know about them?

* During the course of your life, who are the people you’ve cared about the most? How did you show them you cared? How much do you know about them? What are the things you don’t know about them?

* If you owned your own TV channel, what shows would play?

* What things do you dislike? What things do you like?

* Can the murder of a person’s life take place over many years? Can thousands of people take part in the murder of a single person’s life?

* Do you use words, words where your own personal definition of the word differs from the definition in the dictionary?

* What unique things have you done, things the majority of others haven’t done?

* If you were ever married or in a long term relationship, what did you learn from your marriage or relationship?

* Who are the people who made a negative difference in your life? Who are the people who made a positive difference in your life?

Simple Man

January 4th, 2021

I’m just a simple man.
Coffee, Cheerios, Pizza, PB&J’s.
Jeans, sneakers, a couple bucks, a bus ticket.
A pen, paper, a duffel bag, without anywhere to go.
Plenty to write.
Wake up with cobwebs.
Then, the coffee. The smell, cherishing every sip.
The bus ride, looking out the window.
Early in the morning, empty streets, mist.
In the evening, lights, cluster, people happy and sad.
Some walking the streets, from place to place, in a hurry, wandering slowly.
Others waiting at bus stops.
Some homeless. Some with friends, laughing, joking, living.
