The Scent of Greasewood

  • Genre: Literary Fiction

"The first time I saw Charlie, or Carlitos el Gritano, as we often called him, was the summer that I was nine. El Gritano was one of the few white people in the neighborhood, with skin as pale as a corpse's, or so it seemed.

His thick, ink-black hair fell down over his eyes and down to his shoulders. We certainly didn't perpetuate this image of him because he was one of the few gringos that lived in the area: it was because people hardly ever saw him, and no one had ever spoken to him or heard him speak."



The Black Lamia

"Deep in a valley nestled between misty mountains was a village of alepou. It was peaceful, with well-kept roads, colorful gardens, orchards, a wine-dark river, and houses of polished wood. Denhearth was, like all alepou villages, full of life. A young alepou named Ikayra stood outside of her house one spring morning enjoying the sunrise.

She waved to those strolling down Riverview Street as they prepared for their day's work. Already the village was teeming with energy as the little alepou with their fox-like ears hurried along the road, chatting with exuberance as their eyes twinkled."
