Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
As summer days go, it's a true scorcher, all right, nary a whisper of wind and the sun sitting high and regal, lording it over the vast blue, unclouded sky.
The very air suffocates in the humid, breath-stifling aura of summer's dog days. Long forgotten the icily frigid days of peak winter when warmth seemed unattainable.
There is some relief to be had within the haven of the forest environs with its wide ribbon of stagnant, turgid water, where birds fly low, looping the air to catapult low-hanging branches.
Above, riding a bicycle on the forest trail, a dark, thick-set man not to be met at such a solitary secluded place, frantically searching for his wayward, relief-seeking brown, heat-exhausted dog.
