The Fading
My dad was like a squirrel with his money; he hid stashes of it everywhere. When he died, I found pill bottles filled with change. When I took it home and weighed all of it, there was more than two hundred pounds. It was over $2000 dollars and I used it to pay for his funeral.

The Unseen Disease
Diarrhea doesn’t exactly create a feeling of closeness; colonoscopies aren’t exactly conducive to intimate moments. Whether by the choice of others or your own, disease only makes you more isolated. Especially when that disease isn’t readily seen by others, when the vast majority of it takes place in the bathroom.

The Green-eyed Owl
If you see the green-eyed owl, do not turn back on your path. Do not quicken your step, though your nerves thrum with fear. Do not look behind you for the owl, for you will not hear the great, silent wings. You may catch a glimpse of its feathers in the moonlight, pale as snow, in the corner of your eye. But do not look directly at it. Do not stop. Do not turn back. Do not take a shortcut. Keep your eyes on the ground and walk steady. Those who do otherwise never find their path home.
