This past week I updated my website and demo reel at www.StareStudios.com. Take a look. Since Halloween is nearing I thought I would share with you a couple stories from my Dead Body Series.

It is a group of very short stories that shares with the reader how dangerous and evil our corruptible nature really is. This nature of ours would ultimately lead to our own deaths. Because of God's mercy and active role in humanity, each of us is spared, again and again, from the destruction of our selfishness. This series demonstrates the extreme results of our nature without the existence of God's hand of mercy in our lives.

You could say it is like some of those old fables and tales you read to children that have some kind of moral lesson, warning the reader to be careful and do what is right. I hope you enjoy them. Beware that you don't also share the same fates, of the poor souls, in the Dead Body Series!


The Mouse
The mouse ran along a beam of the old shack and stopped. He looked down. The old man had been dead for three days now. He was slumped over his desk. His head rested on the sheets of paper he had been writing on. There were a few sketches among the writings as well.

The mouse wondered whether anyone would find him or even know where the old man was. The aged writer would come to the old shack every spring to write his books and sketch out new ideas. For nearly 30 years this ritual took place.

If only the old man had given him the piece of cheese he was begging for, he would not have choked on it when he ate it himself.
