Sorrows Remedy
I was staring out the window into my neighbor’s yard, admiring her beauty. Some might find this creepy or weird, but they didn’t understand. I have autism, and was uncomfortable socializing with new people. Most times when I tried, people would laugh and make fun of me, or find an excuse to walk away from me.

A deal with the devil
Once upon a time I made a deal with the devil. The sky was an inferno of sunlit cloud on the edge of dusk when I found the Book of Yahweh. The desert was an orange ocean hiding stone pages that I prised from the depths of the icy tomb. I grinned, licking my lips as I recognised the ancient script.

The Box Creature
The smell of green tea filled the kitchen in Akilah’s small apartment constantly. It was something that she was known for. When she had the rare visitor, they would always comment on the pleasant smell as it drifted through the apartment. She hummed a strange little tune she couldn’t remember learning as she poured herself a large mug of green tea to start off her morning. It was her ritual. Wake up, turn on the kettle – which was the only thing she’d ever spent more money on than she’d needed to, wash last night's dishes, eat breakfast, then settle into her reading nook for ten minutes while she drank her first cup of tea for the day. Then she would settle in for a day’s work from home, working in at companies being a thing of the distant past.

My dream guardian!
Thud! Bang, bang, bang. Gunshots? "Awake"! PAUSE! The non-fiction part of this story is that I have never had the need for an alarm clock. I kid you not. I just let my brain know what time I need to wake up, and I am up. Usually. If I oversleep, someone, a voice, my guardian angel or my genie from the lamp, will yell at me to wake up. It has happened my entire life. It is said that we all are given a guardian when we are born, angel if you wish, or a sprite, spirit, ninja, call it what you will. They say that if you listen close enough, open your mind's third eye enough, you will hear or maybe even see it. I think mine is my grandmother, dressed like a ninja. She died before I was born, but she was stubborn and willful enough to be still here, I understand.
