Montgomery Village, Maryland is an area of rolling green hills, beautiful parks and cherry blossoms. Dubbed 'The Best Hometown in Maryland', Montgomery Village is a short train ride from Washington DC, and less than an hour's drive from Baltimore. Along with 40,000 other people, Frank Arcilesi calls Montgomery Village his home.
The air was crisp and the sky was bright the October morning that I asked Mr. Arcilesi to fill me in on his novel Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly, and his life in general.
"I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland with my mom, dad and older brother. The city had a special charm with its small ethnic neighborhoods and friendly people. Of course there were the Orioles and Baltimore Colts, until they (Colts) were unceremoniously hijacked at midnight by the Mayflower vans. Johnny Unitas and Brooks and Frank Robinson were my heroes.
When I was a kid my mom worked as a buttonhole maker in a custom suit factory and my dad pressed garments. These were tedious un-fun jobs but they kept food on the table for my brother and me. School was a little out of the ordinary. My high school was all male and we had to rent female cheerleaders from other schools for our football games. We never knew if they were really cheering for our team or the opposition." Today the cheerleaders are more honest in their enthusiasm since the school is now coed. Later I attended college just eight miles north of Baltimore at Towson State University. That is where I studied mass communications and mathematics. I'll let you decide which one I found boring."
"How about favorite places?"
"Antiques shops are fascinating and I will stop at any new one I discover. I also love to drive through the countryside of Pennsylvania during the fall. In the summer though, my favorite spot is the resort town of Ocean City, Maryland, with its sandy beach and long, long boardwalk stretching past the many souvenir shops and food stands. I also like to search the small resort town for new restaurants specializing in fine seafood. There are some excellent ones which I discovere...
This is a short story. The following short story is copyrighted.
The basis for this story is for the reader to decide. Those with imagination and faith will believe it is based on fact. Those others, the realists will be certain it is fiction. Mark and Brenda took a short vacation to an isolated cabin in Oregon that belonged to a friend. Their little vacation, however, did not turn out as planned.
Excerpt:
I have my own theory about people who don't believe certain things exist and claim those of us who have seen ghosts, shadow people and things like that are fools or crazy. I believe that if you think the world is black and white and it's just what it appears to you, then you are probably the fool for you have no faith. As the writer Elizabeth Gilbert once said, "Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch."……….
I reached down to my ammo belt and pulled out four 30-06 rounds and loaded them into the magazine for the Remington, then snapped the magazine into the rifle. I pulled back the bolt and then forward loading one round into the breach. The sound echoed through the trees. I ejected the magazine and replaced the one round, which was now in the breach and then snapped the magazine back into the rifle. I would now have five rounds to take the bastard down with, if everything else failed, or else he would take me down.
As I snapped the magazine back into the rifle, I thought about Brenda. I hadn't known Brenda for long, about six months, but we had bonded. I had met her at a friend's house–one of those set up blind date things by a well meaning friend that usually turns into disaster but it worked this time. She worked at a museum but there was nothing museum-like about her. We had spent most of our free time together since we had met. In fact it got to the point that I couldn't think of spending any of my free time without her.
Then one day I got the bright idea to ask her to go with me on a trip to the mountains for some quiet time. It turned out to be a bad idea–a real bad idea.....
