Colours
Blue, White, Red
They were some of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen.
Blue, White, Red
They were some of the most beautiful skies I have ever dreamed.
Blue, White, Red
These colours are not always what they seemed.
Blue, White, Red
What is that? A plane, a UFO, a beam?
Blue, White, Red
Should I move? Should I run? Should I scream?
Blue, White, Red
I can’t see I can’t fucking see… Pauline? Can you hear me?!
Blue, White, Red
There…. Pauline. Blood coming down her jeans.
Blue, White, Red
The sirens turned to screams.
Blue, White, Red
Sir stay down, you will lose blood the more you try to lean.
Blue, White, Red
My wife… Please tell me she’s alive. Please tell me this is a fucking dream?!
Blue, White, Red
Flowers-Skies-Sirens. Why couldn’t it end perfectly?
Blue, White, Red
That’s life you see. These colours… are not always what they seem.

An Important Reminder from My Dog to Me… and to You
It was another typical night bringing my dog out to relieve herself just before we all sat down to relax and watch T.V. I was not in the best of moods as my obsessive mind cycled through past, present, and future anxieties of life. It was also cold, and I just wanted her to do her business as quickly as possible. Thank god for the leash attached to my hand because without it, I would have forgotten all about my beautiful little potato sniffing the grass for the best area to mark her territory. That’s how lost in my head I was.

What is the Taliban's plan to rule the world?
So, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda are still pretty tight, even though the Taliban promised they wouldn't let terrorists hang out in Afghanistan anymore. Turns out, Al-Qaeda might be using Afghanistan as a secret clubhouse to rebuild their crew, and the Taliban is probably cool with it. In other news, the Taliban banned Opium, but apparently Meth is the new trendy drug in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, women in Afghanistan are having a rough time under Taliban rule. No school, no work, and good luck seeing a doctor. Al-Qaeda has been busy setting up safehouses, training camps, and a whole network of fighters across Afghanistan. It's like they're building their own little terrorist Airbnb. Some Al-Qaeda members have been granted positions within the Taliban's administration, establishing loyalty between the groups. The Taliban says they want to rebuild Afghanistan, and they're hoping China will help them out. Speaking of China, they might throw some money at Afghanistan without even asking about human rights. I'm sure that won't backfire at all. The Taliban and other extremist groups have vocalized support for Hamas, but this should not be misinterpreted as support for all Palestinians. Meanwhile, the world's spies are keeping a close eye on Afghanistan, waiting to see what kind of shenanigans the Taliban and their terrorist besties get up to next.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
