Something Crawled up Your--
He didn't know what got into him. That's not just a turn of phrase; something actually got into him. It started innocently. He overindulged, had too much greasy food. He farted. It stank. Natalie, cosied up next to him on the sofa, retched, and flapped her hand theatrically in front of her face. "Oh my god, Cole," she said rushing to open the window, "Did something crawl up your arse and die?" Her eyes watered, but she laughed. She had no idea.

Always the Student
“Today. Tomorrow. Yesterday.” The words of my professor reverberate through my skull, a narrator on my commute back home. “The days tarry along as we pursue our hopes for better and best. The Drums of Everafter beat a steady rhythm, the outcome of the ballet based upon how we play the part. Each step taken, whether of dreams or sustenance, pushes us beyond our stated bounds. Only one fate comes to those who settle for room and food, same as those who seek to rouse the boards of Forevermore.” A sharp tap on the blackboard of the classroom punctuates the rhythm. A snore from somewhere rouses me from my slumber.

However, there was always something threatening their safety, a volcano that had not erupted in many years. One day, the ground began to tremble and people were terrified.

Residents gathered in a safe place to discuss emergency plans. At the same time, the volcano began to erupt violently, lava rushing into the sky and flowing down the sides of the mountain.
