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,

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 where we think the world

“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 shell. Earth is my name

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. I am making more errors

Hell exists. I know myself since I’m in charge of this place.

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 way. It was easy to

Good morning Control Centre. How are things up top? “Up top? When have you ever referred to me as that? Do not do it again. Status report: functioning as per usual. You’re my best friend! Of course, I’m going to joke around with you, silly. You know me better than anyone, including myself. I can’t

I hate people. I’m more content with life amongst the trash abandoned by others. The junkyard is my home. I can use whatever materials I want, I don’t need to pay the government stuff all to live here, and I have no neighbours to annoy me. It may not look like much, but I ain’t
