“What was the most ridiculous thing that you’ve believed?” The villain asked.

“The same thing we all believed in at some point and some of us still do. We all want to believe in three things:

1) Everyone thinks like us.

2) Everyone knows exactly what they’re doing and everything is intentional.

3) Nobody is born bad

Call me foolish but I still believe that last part,” the hero said as he put down...

All of those numbers on your tombstone don’t mean a thing,

All that matters is that dash in between.

Meaningless numbers in your bank account,

The number of lives you touch really counts.

Numbers, numbers, everywhere,

What we do with them will be the cross we bare....

For all the souls lost in battle,

All because they treat us like cattle.

For all of those that can’t find their way home,

To let you know you’re not alone.

For those brave enough to follow their dreams,

Even when it’s all falling apart at the seems.

But watch them as they go from being the scripted to being the ...

This place may not have the view of an ocean, there’s no tourist attractions, or even the chatter of a crowd. It doesn’t have wheels to carry me from one place to another. There aren’t any speakers blaring so loud that you can feel the beat coursing through your body. No, it doesn’t have fancy medical equipment. In most people’s eyes it doesn’t have what it could or even what it should.

But you k...

Man, I hate Mondays, especially this Monday. It happened to fall on October 9th, one of the three hardest days of the year. Tying with August 26th and March 13th for the most difficult day award. My work already knew to give me this day off; I told them when I started that I refuse to work these days.

Slowly and dreadfully, I pulled myself out of bed. Grabbing the red and white roses, I walked o...
