Writing and books are my safe places. The adventure books I’ve read as a young girl are still my favorite!

First Date
“What’s next?” “Do you like me and if you do, how long do I have to wait until I can fuck you?” he read, looking up from his phone with an amused look on his face.

La Libellule
For the past three nights in a row, she had been waking up at precisely 3:03 a.m, sweating profusely. Like clockwork, she’d turn over and open her eyes to the hazy yet palpable reality that the space next to her side of the bed remained as unoccupied as it was before. It’s been exactly seven years since Cherry Libertine vowed to never fall in love again.

Color Me Gray
“She’s a fucking Red, man. Don't you understand what that means?” “What the hell is a ‘Red’?” “You must’ve been living under a rock. Hard to believe a young guy like you don’t know…” He said, as he loaded a couple of 5-gallon gasoline cans in the back of his truck. “I appreciate this, son, but—if you want to make it around here, stay away from her and all the Reds.”

Beyond These Walls
The woman standing in front of me is my neighbor but she doesn’t know it. She lives in the unit on the other side of my flat’s northwestern corner wall. And as much as I'd like it, we may not actually share a wall at all, just the empty space in between plywood sheets where mice and rat droppings—and hopefully no snakes—might be found.

The Cliff
The echoes of my throbbing brain accompanied by the unbearable dryness of my throat and difficulty breathing became all too convincing: I wasn't gonna make it. I am lost, forever.

The virus, censorship, corruption, and everything else.
In a recent interview, Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, unveiled a "blockchain-based vaccine passport" that is scannable on smartphones. I assume he's talking about IBM's "Digital Health Pass", which is now available for use in at least 450 airlines. The question is: Are airlines going to be using it? If so, which are and which aren't? Which countries are gonna give it a go? Which are gonna say no? Can they say no?

“Bye.” “Forever?” “I guess so.” “Fine. Bye. See you never,” he said nonchalantly, shutting the screen door behind him. He disappeared into the kitchen and didn't look back. Typical.

Made You Look
At some point you’re gonna have to give up. When you’ve exhausted everything... sometimes the voice inside of you telling you to keep digging or holding out or keep doing whatever it is you’re doing because eventually you’re going to break through—sometimes that voice is wrong. Dead wrong. Or straight-up lying to torture you or to get you in BIG trouble.

Beings In The Mirror
Selma’s in charge of tonight’s run. She picked the young woman with the long black wavy hair in 11 whose coarse hair strands are found everywhere. They're under rugs, strewn on door and cabinet handles... there are balls of it inside the sink drain, nearly clogging up her pipes.

Bridge Over Troubled Water
“Buddha says life is suffering and I have to agree. This sucks. Kill me now,” said Blythe, heaving. “That’s crap,” Kookie said, looking up at the sky as if Siddhārtha Gautama himself might zap her with a lightning bolt for disagreeing with him. “The difficulties in life are just a part of it.”

The Women's Heirloom
Legend has it that an heirloom in our family made by our great-great-grandfather for one of his beloved three daughters went missing. He was a goldsmith and the necklace was his finest work. When my mother tucked me into bed as a young child, my two older sisters sitting alongside my bed with her, she would tell us the story about the heart-shaped locket that contained within it a spell written by my great-great-grandmother. The spell was to protect her daughter from the ills of jealousy and evil eyes.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Today is the last day I’ll be here. Frankly, I have no idea what to do after all this. The door is wide open now... wasn’t that what I was asking for? No, not like this. Not this way. Where do I go from here? This is a very small town.
