    book excerpt from one of my short stories titled zahida’s love. buy it for five bucks at fluidpotential.com:

    “…wrists throbbing and swollen from the tight clasp of the handcuffs, Zahida asks the officer in a teary voice, “could you please loosen these handcuffs a little bit? I can’t feel my fingers.” One of the officer’s replies, “wait till we get to the station! After what you’ve done this evening, I don’t think I could trust a word that comes out of your mouth!” Zahida sits back and dejectedly gazes out of the window. As the squad car cruises, the rolling pictures of houses in the night have been forever cast into Zahida’s mind. Her face cramping from hours of crying, Zahida takes another swallow of salted tears and reflects on the events that have unfolded…”


    book excerpt from one of my short stories titled slaughterhouse chronicle. buy it for five bucks at fluidpotential.com:

    “…as we pull up to the rear of the building, my heart begins to anxiously pound and my stomach starts to feel queasy. The building is tucked away behind several other businesses, at the bottom of a sloping driveway. As we step onto the sidewalk, I observe a young couple getting out of their car and approaching the main entrance of the same building. As the couple walks inside, I begin to feel more unsettled. Shortly thereafter, feelings of guilt, shame, and disgust begin to cloud my mind, so with my stomach in knots I sat back in the car to gather my thoughts and reconsider my actions. After a few minutes of discussion with my girlfriend, I muster enough undignified courage to leave the car to proceed with our business…”

chris m rutledge is considered to be a self-taught painter and currently resides in atlanta, georgia. born on the southside of chicago and educated at tuskegee university and later southern illinois university at carbondale, chris originally studied architecture, due to his lifelong love of drawing. he began painting in 1997 without the guidance of an art instructor. prints of these original paintings, including his first painting created in 1997 are available by request only. his paintings are primarily abstract representations of real life subjects. although he did not major in art, chris later took a few art courses to refine his talent and to learn more about the fundamentals of painting. after taking these courses he took interest in two particular styles of painting known as ‘colorism’ due to his love of vivid colors, and ‘abstract expressionism’ due to his love of taking an object from reality and adding his own ‘twist’. in 2000 he decided to explore another facet of art by deciding on a whim to begin writing. as a result he has written several short fiction stories.

    hey i like the new page design. i'm doing well. ramadan mubarik to you too. my ramadan is going well and only about a week left, it has gone by fast. how is everything with you? keeping up with your artwork? since i turned my focused to graphic design from studio artwork, i haven't been doing as much painting as i'd like. but hopefully i'll be able to manage time for both.
    what are you up to? :)

    All The Faces


    One
    Day
    All the faces
    i have worn
    Shall be painted upon the pages
    The biographer has drawn
    Yet my image
    You shall
    Not find there
    For my souls reflection
    Is a vibrance
    Of silence
    Thin
    Air
    -Silent Lotus

    Very nice work :) Many thanks for the request, i love the vibe of your page, it is peace.


    Much love to you.
