My Choice
In my job, I’m faced with making more choices in a day than most people make in a year. Sure, they don’t all involve life or death, but some might. Making a choice isn’t really the problem, knowing if it’s the right choice is. I might diagnose a situation, examine all the variables, and make a logical decision based on the facts. Unfortunately, logic isn’t always the right answer.

Waiting for White Smoke
Hero or victim; victim or hero... I have never been able to settle on one side or the other. For those of you who hate the Earth, and feel that you should strip it, rob it, spoil it with your products and your greed, I am your enemy, and you feel my wrath when I force you to inhale, inject or consume the waste that you've given the world.

Starlight
When I picked up that ring on the beach that day I had no idea just how much my life would change. It sat on my dressing table for a week and after no one responded to the lost and found ad I forgot about it. I was heading out to the vigil for the shopping mall victims, and I saw the ring sitting there. What the heck, I guess it’s mine now? I slipped it on my finger. It was way too big, but before I could remove it … the ring resized all on its own, fitting perfectly to my finger.

My Grave Love
Every night he visits the grave... I cant remember when I started noticing it. At first, I thought maybe he was visiting family. I wanted to ask him.. But thought better of it. After all, what if it was his family? What if I had nothing special to say or worse, something so common and stupid, like; "Hope you feel better!" As if a death was some common illness. Maybe in a morbid way it was...

They Had It Coming. Content Warning.
Born into darkness. A world unfit for a child to be raised. The cards I had been dealt were terrible. Abuse, violence and destruction, no wonder I lived in despair. Life for me could have ended before it had even begun, that is if the power I cradled inside of me, wasn’t the leg up in life I needed.
