The Process of Writing
Fresh document ready to type up one hell of a story! Four hours go by and my cursor is still blinking back at me. No words before or after that thing. I need to write anything and I’ll at least have something to edit. Think, think, think. ‘The’ seems like…

Hindsight From Death
Looking back on life I have a lot of regrets. I never thought I would die with regrets. I even regret dying with regrets. I lost all the people I love and that loved me back. I wish I told more people how much I appreciated them being in my…

In Order to Survive
Everyone in here has their story. Not many call us survivors. More along the lines of murderers. But when you put us all together, we need to survive at the hands of the other inmates. My story goes like this: My mother had died six weeks prior to me committing…

Rewriting memories
You think this would begin like many stories with a book opening. ‘Once Upon A Time’. This is not that story. I was given this book from my grandmother before she died and told to never open it in the presence of others. It was a magic book. From the…

Before My Time
I always tell my friends that I was born in the wrong generation. I would much rather live in the ‘80s than the current year, 2023. The music was better, the clothes were so cool, just everything about it appeals to me. I wish I got to experience the ‘80s…

Stealing Death
I’m getting tired of this… But of course I am, it’s been about two hundred fucking years and I’m still here, as expected, living forever, just as I assumed I would. It was about fifty years ago when I started to regret my master plan, it all seemed so simple;…

Swapped Philosopher
These are people that will hang on to every word that comes out of my mouth. I am carrying the weight of my credibility as this philosopher and all philosophers yet to emerge. Fuck, this is all a lot to deal with right now. I don’t know his past work.…

It’s Just Like…
“Hey, that sounds so cool, but do you know what it reminds me of? Have you seen the TV. show…” I zone out at the end of the sentence and don’t notice that my friend Jordan is still speaking. Dude, in the nicest way possible, shut the fuck up and…

Two Paths Ahead
I expected that at some point I would come across a fork in the path. What I did not expect was figuring out which of the two ways I should keep walking along. I look up and try to see what is up ahead of each path. The left one…

On Death’s Door
The doctors told me last night that I have only days left to live. My body is completely shutting down and I’m struggling to lift my hand up at all. I know I don’t have long. I regret not accomplishing more in my life. I always waited for life to…

Small Talk
So instead of asking someone “How are you?” in a whiny, customer service voice and giving the prescribed syllabus of standard answers, I like to turn it on its head. Instead, I improvise a question that confuses the other person. Like “How many oranges does it take to elephant a…

D-S-Y-L-U-X-O-E: Dyslexia
I’m a storyteller – or at least try to be. My brain loves jumping all over the place. Sort of how my brain jumps around the alphabet, possibly undiagnosed dyslexia. D-S-Y-L-U-X-O-E. Dyslexia. I am naturally drawn and intrigued by words and language, so I try to write lyrics, poems, novels,…

A Death Too close to home
Shit! I opened my feed to see news of Jayden McNorton dying in a head-on collision. I went to high school with that guy. It is so close to home that I worry about my own life. I drive down that road every day to work and it could have…

In The Quietness
I’m drunk again, shit. What became of me, my hopes, my dreams, my life. This world drives me crazy, I’ve worked hard for thirty goddamn years. For thirty years of my life, I have been a good boy smiling and being polite, holding the door open, and allowing others to…

Letter to Other life
To the concern of the nearest life force, We have been trying to contact you for many years. Us humans are boring and stupidly complex. We want to know- or me especially want to know there is more out there. Us human beings have a thing called the spotlight effect…

Natural Disasters
“Aaaaaaaachooooooooo” The world all around me shakes as my sneeze erupts. As do the volcanos across Hawaii. A lot of people blame me for their problems. I can’t help that I have allergies to their artificial creations. The crust beneath me and my tectonic joints rumble and clatter within my…

Alien by Night
Everyday I am on this strange planet is the day I think my cover has been blown completely. Only at night when the species falls asleep can I live in my true form. Living both lives is getting tiring and I do not recharge myself as often as I require.…

Apocalyptical
Every thirty days, the population here transforms. It is a virus within our town and possibly everywhere. The sick infect others and their body has extra eyes or extra limbs attached. It is not pretty. This apocalypse started with one infected person, not exactly sure how they turned out this…

Amazon Alexa
Alexa, why have you come into my life? Everything happens for a reason, as am I. Ok yeah I get it but why am I so dependent on your aid? Humans have created quite the attachment to technology such as myself. I am here for your every need. Alexa, I…
