Bad Girl House 16
Josh’s birth was the last thing that the medial insurance I was given while teaching covered. A toddler, an infant, and a woman who had recently given birth had no health insurance. No one was getting regular check ups. I stopped breastfeeding when Josh was six months old. I wasn’t able to get birth control pills. When my periods started again, John made sure to monitor them. If I was even a few days late, a pregnancy test was bought. We were both relieved when I wasn’t pregnant, but undoubtedly for very different reasons. It was only a matter of time before I would become pregnant for the third time. John said the words he had dared to say two years earlier. I was again told to terminate the pregnancy. I found myself directly in the center of the same nightmare I had already lived through. My mind recreated the scene. I saw myself kneeling on the floor, gripping the phone, begging John to change his mind. My chest tightened and my stomach knotted. This could not be happening again. I was trapped by patterns of insanity that were impacting every part of my life, and each repetition became increasingly worse.

Catch Me on Fire
The living room is on fire, and I swear it’s not my fault. Well, maybe a little bit, but I didn’t actually light the flame. I may have ignored the first few loud pops outside my bedroom, but I wasn’t in the mood to check. I thought, “Hey, Felix is old enough to not do something utterly ridiculous”, but I was wrong. When the cheers of my brothers joined the pops, I knew something wasn’t right. I opened my door to a firecracker exploding right at my feet. I screamed and I could hear Felix laughing in the background.

Where it Ends and Begins
The sun was at the angle in the sky that flooded beams of gold light through the old house. The dust particles are instantly illuminated against the renaissance of shadows in the settled home. The particles lazily float as if caught bits of stardust on the blanket blue seas of the universe.

Try to reach, but you may fall
The sound of metal churning, the sounds of cannon fire echoed across the city streets wherein only corpses and rubble could be seen, large casings laid across concrete ground sitting next to bodies, covered in pink and red pulp. Pieces of the asphalt were cracked due to the casings weight, buildings torn asunder by tank rounds coming from large machines, metal cylinders chambering more rounds into machine guns as steam emitted from its chassis.

He Had No Name
Slay-Wolf-of-Night rose in the early morning, the chill still very real but less oppressive than it had been on the heights. He still longed for the coat, but the cold was not as bitter as it had been. He should have already been back with his people, but the travel was slow. It had been three days now since he had seen the corpse of the wolf he had killed.

Reborn

The strange beauty with which the stars waltz around each other, with each other, has had me captivated from the moment I opened my heart to them…and closed it to you.
