If Walls Could Talk
If walls could talk they could tell many stories. They would reveal the secrets, tragedies, and even the joys of all the interactions of life they have witnessed. They would tell of unknown histories and stories long gone and teach us the past we’re too ashamed to confront. Peel back the layers of paint, panel and paper and I couldn’t even tell you that my early days were of happiness and glamour. Yes, I was freshly painted drywall, strong and sturdy. I was and still am part of something bigger, but in those days I was new and still a wall of hope. I am the north facing wall of room 23 of Applewood Manor, a nursing home, and I have seen many lives come and go.

Changemaker Diaries
"We shouldn't be in here!" Amanda cried in a whimpery whisper, "Come on, we have to go, Saully!" I grimaced. She knew better than to call me that. I was going by Mike now, not Saul. I decided that the second I found out my dad was posted to Baden, Germany.

Framed for Mortar
If walls could talk ... no one would listen. I know that from experience. I am not exactly a wall, admittedly, but I have lived inside one for ... well it depends on how you calculate time. It has been completely dark down here for, well centuries, I would guess. But now they have opened up for business again. Its no longer a dungeon, but something they call a "museum" - and there is light down here part of the time as well as visitors like yourself.

THE LOST COLONY ADVENTURES of HIDEAWAY ISLAND
“Wait…no, don’t do that!” Seething, icy layers of dread sunk deeper into the pit of my stomach, plopping right next to my resolution. A lurching, retching motion swayed my insides, turning my head as I felt my stomach spin again—was it, no, it couldn’t be. Yesterday was bad enough, I had woken up in a smelly cesspit of a barge—a ship, a place I had only ever read about and trust me when I say—it wasn’t what dreams were made of—and this morning—same thing. I could taste the unwashed smells of a thousand men before I even opened my eyes.
