Years of marriage gone in an instant. The love of my life. I’m sitting at the nearest bus stop to home, attempting to get fresh air and process the news. I feel utterly alone that Brenda is gone, lifeless, and a million miles apart from me. I want to hold her and feel her warmth.…

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 front cover it was made…

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 myself. Those few words changed…

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; live forever! Never die! What…

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. I don’t know what the…

I am around. Floating. The things I see are insanely cool! Like I see all these stories come to life while she sleeps and I feel the emotion of disappointment when she loses the story. Then when she’s awake I try and give them back to make sure she tries to write them down. I…

This book continues to get more interesting as I read along! Seeing this character’s life fleshed out in such incredible detail is inspiring. Truly captivating! I see myself relating to the protagonist a lot. The author, P. Harrison really made a sympathetic and grounded character which I haven’t seen a lot of other authors do…

“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 don’t dismiss my own work.…

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 goes through a bushy and…

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 be handed to me. Now…

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 mountain, but can you round…

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, and comedy too. Writing can…

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 been me in that fatal…

Going down into the ocean beneath. Screams echo out from my vessel into the depths of the vast and empty ocean I am surrounded by. I hear the whispers of the captain with his first mate. The first mate is pleading to the captain to admit he made a mistake setting off. The weather was…

Oh, I’m on… this is odd… Why am I on at this hour? It must be about 2am, I’m never on at this time. He looks angry, I’ve seen him angry before but never like this. She’s crying, but she’s not talking, I don’t understand why they are like this tonight; I’ve never heard them…
-
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 walk ahead of me. Not…

There truly is no one like her… I saw Angel today, a sight so breathtaking, I really can’t fathom how lucky I am, she is perfect, well… perfect for me. I hate keeping this relationship a secret, but I know no one else would understand, even my family. To them it would be weird, unusual,…
