Loudness.

A ringing in my ears.

A roar of happiness.

A roar of sadness.

Pain.

All I felt.

Pain.

All I heard.

Joy.

A sweet bliss.

Joy.

A separation from reality.

Regret.

Hard, and red.

Regret.

Endless pain and sadness.

Life.

Hard, painful, loud, happy.

Ever-lasting until it is over.

Life.

Emotion.

Make the most out of sad times.

Mae the most out of happy times.

Enjoy life.

No one truly understood the pull for what was in front of me. I had an insatiable hunger for it.

Was this an obsession? Or was this normal?

It didn’t make any sense. A pull for an object casually dismissed. I had been advised to visit doctors. Addiction wasn’t supposed to be normal. Not at all, I knew that. But going to a doctor meant excepting the fact that there was something wrong with me, ...

At forty-six years old I had an irrational fear of the dentist. It was universally known as that scary place as doctors poke around at your teeth, wash your mouth with inedible liquids that leave the familiar burn of bile at the back of your throat. Where they place cameras inside to determine whether they need to drill something in. At least that’s what I thought…

I sat in the dull waiting room....

This is really random, sorry 😔

The water gushed endlessly from the abyss above. It made a deafening roar like an angry God. The screen panned out revealing the ongoing fields splayed across the oasis like waves, sloping up and down. Trees dotted the horizon but the rest of the area had scarcely any tress in order to be able to see the actor.

Everyone clapped as the knight w...

“BE GONE YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING!” He screamed. I winced at the level of noise he was making with his shouts. I was sure the whole office could hear our conversation and my cheeks burned red with humiliation.

“Look, I’m sorry about the inconvenience this has caused but I’m sure you would agree that by loosing me, many significant assets I provide are much needed in terms of success would just be-“ ...

The gentle breeze

It whispers low

The trees

They stand in stately rows

The rivers

They run deep and clear

Oh, mountains grand

And valleys green

The setting sun

Worthy to please

A place of peace

Where life is seen

So let us wander, hand in hand,

In this great place, where nature stands,

And feel the love that fills the air,

And know natures beauty is always there....

We had broken the law and were now were sentenced to our grim fate. Condemned to the strict laws of our Government, the country was trapped inside some chess game. All lower and middle class citizens deemed expendable in this fight against each other. Only the king the one who must survive. People sought justice. People sought fairness and people sought safety. Then there were the upper class citi...

“BURN IT DOWN!” They shouted. It was hard to tell whether it was real or just a repeating mantra in my head. The rock music continued blaring the loud chorus of the shredding of a guitar, people blithely moving to the music. The rational part of my brain understood it would be better if I escaped early. Before the cops came. But the irrational side of my brain was rooting to participate in the rio...

I understood hunger. I was immune to it but there was always some way I could put food on the table. Whether it was negotiating with people, begging sometimes even stealing. Yet here, there was no way out. No way for me to leave and haggle with some misunderstanding, elderly woman. No. I was stuck here and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. Now without my family I didn’t have the we...

It was like one of the universal swaps, where during a thunderstorm two people collide and BANG their trapped in the others body.

Except it wasn’t like that.

This wasn’t a real body swap just the baseline of swapping lives. Yes. When I met Ellis I could see my reflection. She was my mirror image and I was stuck in despair at the time. She wanted a taste of true life in New York and I wanted to ...
