Ok I'm not crazy, but for a while i felt like i was being watched constantly.

There is nothing unique about my house or my neighborhood. It's a 4 bedroom, 2 story plantation style home with big pillars and shutters out front. A beautiful massive magnolia taller than the house sits in the front yard. The rest of the homes on the street are the classic fan faire of a suburban neighborhood built in...

“And once the flowers bloom, we’ll be doomed” i still remember that kooky scientist saying. Well it seemed kooky at the time but he was pretty much right. But as the great Jeff Goldbloom said “life finds away”

some of us survived the mass expulsion of spores that covered the globe, killing nearly all living things. Like all things in nature there are always the outliers.

I am one of those i gue...

Dregs

Trash, so much trash. Mounds the size of tall buildings litter the man made landscape. Centuries of vehicles and appliances; only god knows what else creates this network of waste.

The shadows strike me the most, cast down from Olympus. A man made attempt at heaven to sequester the rich. Hiding from the shame they helped create. They say some of the people are as old as 300 years old.

Sand

It's really hard trying to understand something you don't understand. Searching through sand for an object you don't know. You just know it's somewhere in there.

Every so often you find something and think “this must be it”. You leave the beach, telling yourself you are satisfied with what you found. Yet you go about your day wondering if this is really what I wanted. Your assumed beloved rides ...

“Ok next time i'm paying for drinks, you sneaky gentlemen” Matt punches me on the shoulder.

Grinning back at him. “Don't get used to it princess, it was only a nice bonus. I’m back to ramen in a few weeks.” waving goodbye as i start the half mile walk back to my apartment. Whoever thought engineers were on par with lawyers and doctors can kick rocks for telling me that as a kid. If that were the...

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Here’s to hoping some breathing technique can calm my nerves. Forcing my jaw to unclench as i continue my deep breathing. I’ve never worked so hard in my life for this opportunity.

“What in the shit box is going on here fingers?”

Closing my eyes and trying to keep my breathing going. Tom is the last person i need right now.

“Oh trying to teleport back to your s...

Oh Mai

Oh Mai. How I can’t wait to see you. My thoughts race as fast as I can run with thoughts of her. Scenarios of our future life blur through the leaves and dappled light of the canopy. Dew from the ferns streaks my calves as I race down the path. Only a short window exists for me to see my goddess of the grove Mai, and today I’m behind schedule. I doubt she’ll be mad but I’ll be mad if I miss a mome...

“Alright class I’m going to break you into pairs to work on this lab. I know you have partners but we are mixing it up just for today” groans immediately escaped the class. Mrs Felts immediately started back up while waving her hands for calm “relax it’s just for today since we have a few people missing and it’s good for you to work with others for a change”. Unfazed by the students protesting she...

Loser

“Wake up loser” the same voice I hear every morning and at the same time. I’d give truly anything to not have and annoying, nagging and ugly older sister.

“Call me ugly one more time”

Shiver ran across my skin at that remark. She’s so touchy in the morning and knows how much I hate being woken like this. I wonder how far away I’d need to get for it to stop working. Stretching as I look around f...

Walking in the rain has always been one of my favorite things to do. Everything slows down and you feel like the only people in a space. While everyone is inside you get to experience places in near isolation, so i like to drive around to new places to experience this.

I was walking right down the middle of the street on a rainy afternoon. Some shops were open, and others had closed early. Just ...
