Childhood
BEHIND THE LAST WINDOW
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Nestled under fine-woven sheets laced with blue and purple silk, she sat up in the window seat, given to her by her new master, the man she shared her room with. Looking outside the clear glass aperture, there were two mockingbirds: one male, one female both chasing after each other with every chirp met with a kiss, on each other’s’ beak. Feeling the heat of the sun wrapping around the top of her neck, increasing it's intensity, she moves her gaze to the bottom of the sequoia tree right outside her hotel room. There, two scavenger crows, often mistaken for ravens, search for pestilence of the innumerable creepy crawling things beneath the ground, of whom mankind knowns to be Hell.

The Mortician's Daughter
On the day I lost my virginity, my partner, a beautiful young man named Josh, had been dead for 12 hours. I guess that sounds kind of weird to you, right? And I guess it is kind of weird, too. But, well, when you grow up in a funeral parlour, it’s the kind of thing that can end up happening. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Why Men Don’t Cry in Front of Women
“I want to be protected and cared for.” This is what Mike’s girlfriend said to him as he broke down in front of her. Just because a man is acting emotionally vulnerable, it doesn’t mean he can’t protect or care for you. Men are allowed to have emotional moments, and that doesn’t make them less of a man.

You Laugh, You Die
I saw an advertisement of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson posted on a social media website. He returned to a store he used to steal from as a teenager. The Rock took it upon himself to pay back his debt and make good on his mistake. So he purchased all the remaining chocolate bars. I heard someone walked in and yelled "who bought all the f%#%$ Snickers bars". The Rock made sure everybody would know what it's like to go without a chocolate bar.

We learn to get along through our likes and dislikes, regardless of whether we are introverts, extroverts, or somewhere in between. People have been known to become addicted to substances like narcotics, coffee, or even social media. However, you may tell someone about your daily need on coffee and it won't come out as embarrassing. Just picture meeting someone who claims to be addicted to drinking their own urine. Or another who would rather eat a piece of their brick wall than a pizza topped with pineapples grown on their lanai. Yes, these are the bizarre addictions that people have all across the world. Here is a list of some of the most bizarre substances to which people have become dependent.

Childhood Christmas Memories
They say that as we get older we remember things from childhood with more clarity than recent events. I don't know how much truth there is in that but I have certain memories from when I was a child that are really quite vivid. Then again, there are some events that I have no recollection of as I was too young to remember them, but I can assume they happened because I was told about them. I would never have known about those happenings otherwise.
