The World Around Me

JRow

1 min read

A government that has gone too far. A system based on injustice and oppression to feed the wealthy. People dying from poisoned water, from those who were charged to keep the peace, and simply for being poor. The year is 2023....

Just me

JRow

1 min read

Well the main character is just me. Just my story. To start she was a free and slightly feral child. School and adults and rules trained it out of her. Placed in AP classes in HS, but it never came to anything other than self judgement when I didn’t actually do great, nor enjoy those classes.

String of abusive encounters and a variation of sins committed. Now I’m nearing 40.

I have lines on my f...

Collide

JRow

1 min read

The saying goes that

Those goosebumps you feel

On warm days

Are only explained

From footsteps on your grave.

There’s no warning though

When the path of a former you

Collides with a future you.

That thing they call déjà vu

But this time it’s more frustrating

Because you DO know them.

After all, this stranger in the street

Is only yesterday my friend.

Or is it tomorrow?...

Book Blurb

JRow

1 min read

The autobiography of a girl who tried way too hard at everything, and her perilous journey to wisdom. Jess So Far will smack you in the face with familiarity, the whole thing feels like an inside joke. After all, the only thing crazier than fiction is real life in America, 2023....

Hercules

JRow

1 min read

Hercules. What a joke. A bastard son of a bastard god. Soon he will realize his own insignificance. Soon he will taste his humanity, after all he’s only a half breed. It’s not like he will be remembered and revered for all ages - as I am destined to be. I am Hera. Goddess on high, ruler of Olympus. I’d be good at it too if it wasn’t for that damn sorry excuse for a husband. Zeus the almighty king ...

Goddess

JRow

1 min read

I was worshipped once. Feared once. I’ve fallen so damn far now that I’m climbing and clawing my way back to my own goddess damned temple. The anger can wait, let it simmer until it is precise, furious and unstoppable. Now I just have to keep moving, that’s how they buried me last time. I stayed still for too long.

Long before this reign of masculinity, there was divine balance and order in the ...

Infestation

JRow

1 min read

I wasn’t sure about this planet. There was evidence of some sort of…sickness. But, any port in a storm as they say. I’m not sure who, but someone. It was a poor choice.

As soon as I began my entry I knew right away. Too hot. I’m already burning, burning all the way through. I had to seriously keep it together as my insides started to tear apart. Too damn hot.

It’s not the worst damage I’ve had m...

Happy Man

JRow

1 min read

I think I just met the happiest person in the world!

He was so kind and never stopped smiling.

When my daughter said hello he was so polite

When she asked to be picked up he quickly obliged with a gigantic grin on his face.

Even though he looked awful tired. I could even see the angular shapes of his bones through the holes in his shirt. His feet must’ve hurt as he tossed my daughter in the air...

Undoing

JRow

1 min read

It was so subtle. The undoing of us. A glance up and suddenly the man I saw my future in was simply a plump, placid-eyed, red-faced stranger and I did not appreciate the way he was slurping or breathing or existing really.

Sluuuuurrrp.

Cough, sigh, snort. The man was on repeat.

Sluuuuurrrrp.

Cough, sigh, snort.

JUST CHOKE ALREADY I glare.

I remember our daughter then. The best thing I’ve ever...
