About this ebook
Quicksand is a short story about how a couple deals with the sudden loss of their child. We all deal with tragedy in different ways, but there is only one way to get out of quicksand.

I am an instructional designer who writes fiction and poetry in my spare time. I have worked in training and curriculum development for over twenty years for K-12 and higher education clients. I have also completed instructional design and educational consulting contracts for the federal government and state-side corporations as well as private international clients. I enjoy writing crime novels, women's fiction, short stories, and poetry. The focus of my creative writing is to make the reader think about the human condition and the decisions that people make. I enjoy teaching the writing process to others. I will give a fair, critical review of other people's writing, and will edit others writing for a fee. I worked as an English teacher and librarian in my previous life (AKA life before instructional design).

Quicksand
My boy sees things.
Lily hadn’t meant to blurt it like that, but there it was…out there. Morgan sat across from her with salad dangling from her lips as if she had been instantaneously frozen.
What do you mean he sees things?
Morgan finally said as she sucked the lettuce into her mouth and laid down her fork, Like floating pink elephants? Spots?
Her eyes grew large and she paled for slightly a second, Dead people?
