A Pile of Words is a collection of short stories that run with the themes of love, writing and trying to understand the self. Excerpt: Her eyes lit up when she saw the red velvet walls. She glanced to the parasols hanging from the chandeliers. A new breath of life took hold of her. A life she has never seen. She stared the way a child stares while on a bus passing large store windows in the short distance.She soaked in every picture that decorated the walls, but she was feeling awkward-- I could tell. She was not use to such beauty however, she absorbed all. Her hands were trembling when she picked up the menu, they hinted at a soft fear. She was unsure what to order, the red velvet walls distracted her. I winked at her to let her know it was all right. She said she will never forget this place. I believe her with all my faith and soul. Her eyes danced from one wall to the other, the red velvet made her glow. It brought the child out of her, which was followed by the woman who was simmering in a slow seduction!The band began to play; a jazz piano pounded its eighty-eight, the bass had a wailing and zydeco filled the air. She broke another smile, her large eyes drifted from the plush red velvet to the band.
