Our Stories       
Thank you for reading them... we hope they make a difference.

These tears indulge my desperation,
  fall like stones upon the ground,
  in monolithic desecration-
  my breaking heart in every sound   
  A Marks, Casa by the Sea, 2004 - full story

With a mouth full of blood I started to laugh, spitting it at them, not having a care in the world. This was the most free I had felt in years, shouting at the top of my lungs "F--- Casa by the Sea, you'll never programize me, you might as well kill me!"  
C Brown, Casa by the Sea - full story

"I... I'm sorry, I don't know how you stay sane man." I watched as a smile crept along his face, he pulled off his glasses and wiped his face on his sleeve, then he looked at me and said something I'll never forget.
J Ziegenbalg, Casa by the Sea - full story
