Hey, what’s up.  My name’s Frank and I’m 27 and a native New Yorker, born and raised in Brooklyn.  I started out writing short stories, most of which never saw the light of day for the lack of a forum to share them… like this one.  I recently self-published my first novel, “The Fab 5” and I’m always loking for an opportunity to read other writers’ stuff, share my own stuff, and polish my skills.  I’m a huge sports nut (Go Knicks, Go Yanks), heavily into sci-fi (DS9 was the best Star Trek), and am a comic book nerd.

I hope to share some of my older stuff, as well as create new stuff for anyone who wants to read.

Short Story / Morning After

His eyes fluttered open as the noontime sun blasted through his window, and he was greeted with a pounding headache, a dry mouth, and the sheets beneath him soaked in sweat. Happy Saturday, he thought. He pulled the pillow over his head and rolled over and about half a second after he found himself nose-to-nose with a stunning brunette sleeping naked in his bed, he realized he didn’t have any clothes on. Bits and pieces of the previous night started to come back. He went to Go, a club in the...

Michael’s hand was nearly swallowed by Boone’s paw when they slapped hands and banged shoulders. “How come Dante’s not here?” Michael asked. “Workin’,” Boone replied with a shrug. “He’s in a session. Matter of fact, he just called me and asked if I could bring you over to watch.” “Watch?” Michael’s voice went up an octave as he raised an eyebrow. “What the fuck for?” “He thinks you could use a break. And he thinks you would like to see how your backers pay for all this shit.” “He doesn’t nee...

It was supposed to be a third “off-day” in a row for Michael, an opportunity to rest and recover from the punishment he took three days before. The first day after he beat David Moyez in six rounds, he slept. The second, he hung around his cramped apartment and relaxed. By his third off day he was bored as hell, so he threw on his DSG sweatshirt and sweatpants and decided to go to the gym. He figured Dutch would be thrilled to see him – the gym’s membership had more than tripled in the last ...

The hollow pop of cork form a champagne bottle echoed through the locker room as Dutch cheered and poured some into a plastic cup. He handed the cup to Michael before hastily pouring another frothy cup for himself. Dutch shouted again as they knocked their cups together so hard, they were both left with less than half a cup. There was much to celebrate. “To Mike,” Dutch said, raising his glass in the air with a shaky hand. “This is the first step.” “Damn right,” Michael said as he sipped the...

Novel Treatments / The Prize Fighter: Chapter One
Version 1

One by one, people steamed into the Manhattan Center, taking advantage of the empty seats just behind the reserved ones separated by a velvet rope. It was still early, and the first fight hadn’t started yet; the room lights were still up. The main event – John Corvin vs. Jason Hammer for ten rounds – wouldn’t start for at least another hour, but the early comers wouldn’t be denied an under card fight, especially if they paid for the whole night. Corvin had been tearing up the middleweight di...

Novel Treatments / Caroline and Harry Part 1
Bitter much? For starters, as admirable a goal it is to scare my grandmother, she's 89 years old, and will inform you she's lived through depressions, wars and 2 Bushes. Ok, now to the writing. the way Harry feels about Caroline resonates, because i think every man has a woman he loves so much he hates what shes become. I know I do. It's a very well told opening, and i'd love to see exactly where you take the characters after this. Pluses: Harry and Caroline seem real, or at least over the to...
Sci Fi & Fantasy / Chapter one: Deja vu
First off, I want to say I like the way you ended this chapter. It seemed to have the right amount of creepy attached to this type of story, and broke the good feeling of the love story between Sarah and Ethan. Plusses: I happen to like the way you portray Emma's seeming madness. The is-she-nuts-or-is-she-not idea works very well here from word one. I like that you have what seems to be the beginnings of a deja vu cult from the blogging. It seems like a high school clique almost; lonely peopl...
This was actually pretty interesting. There's a school of thought that says if you jump into a story not quite in the beginning, yet are able to tell what came before, than the story is very well-told. I like your character Harry. He's a powerful and convincing lead and seems to have the respect and admiration of his men, which is a great leadership quality. I didn't get the impression he was all that young like you had stated, but the youth might be belied by his battle experience. Initially...
Short Story / The Envelope
That was fun. It was a very creative way of letting people know we should all take a step back once in a while and realize what's importan. I like the mellowing out process Jim went through. My only gripe is that you got unnecessarily preachy in the last third of the the story before Jim woke up. You didn't need to say what he had been missing, i think it was pretty self-evident. The waking up in bed after leaning back at the picnic table was a nice touch. This story is reminiscent of an old ...
