A Voyaging Adventure

The water was lapping at the edge of the boat, rocking it to and fro.


The giddiness and anxiety was just about bubbling over and out of Jeremy. He hated boats and swimming and the sea and anything to do with large bodies of water. It made him sick. He mentally yelled at himself for not thinking of a great excuse to skip this “voyaging adventure”.


He jumped up and stood precariously on the rai...

Airport Security

I’m in the security line. Almost ready for 1st prank.

You better do amazing.

“Sure, I’ll go out with you.” Her response took him off ...

Russian Roulette

A dare.

A bet.

A spin on all his luck.

With his life as the stake

And a gun to be struck.


His buddy’s begged him not to

And the old man chuckled and grinned.

“Are you scared your going to die

Are you a coward deep within?”


“Like your father was that day

When we played this very game

And your mother was the stake

Will you beg like he once did?”


With a last plea from his friends

He took a step to...

Million To 1

I’ll take those odds.

But they are 1 million to 1!

But I’ll will a million.

No No No

I sat at the end of the table, my brother, the idiot he is, sitting in his seat cards in his hands. He’d agreed to yet another game of cards, wanting to win his losses back, he’d stupidly bet our entire weeks pay, our, mine included. It was funny when he was a child, my father and mother would laugh at his ridiculous exclamations, ridiculous odds, now it was more saddening, it was sad because I am...

I have fifteen tattoos, have jumped out of three planes, climbed the tallest mountains in every continent, and have been married seven times. There is only one that I regret, the one that started this whole adventure.


I warn you, it’s awful, one I regret, and I’m only telling the story because of a dare.


See, I dated a woman because of a bet, and her brother cursed me. Now I have to take every...
