Gang of Thieves, By Mark Tulin
26/4/2019

My nightmare became a reality one night.

When I approached the entrance of the dimly-lit parking garage, hundreds of swarming rats flowed out of an empty fountain like a horrific waterfall.

Once the vermin spotted me, they began their chase, clamoring at my feet, gnawing at my arms and legs. I barely grabbed the handle of my car door and pulled myself to safety. I checked to see if all my digits and limbs were in order. Breathing a sigh of relief, I watched the gang of thieves recede into the darkness, knowing I’d finally conquered my worst fear.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    A swarming fountain of rats . . . shudder.
