Vulnerability
Crash into me in tidal waves Rush up hemlines of receding shore Tempest fingers in remnants of history Deposited sands of time; Expose metal detector mysteries: Barbed wire and shrapnel Wrapped around bones Featured Image by Velizar Ivanov on UnsplashThe Island Flamingo: Chapter 4
The sun shining through the window wakes me up. I hear water running in the bathroom, signifying that the supervisor is getting ready for our spa day. I pull the covers over my head and close my eyes to fool her. It does not work, and she lifts me out of the bed and escorts ...The Red Maiden, Part Thirteen

A supervisor joining me on my ‘vacation’ escorts me through the airport. She says she wants to help me relax. More likely, she wants to get a free vacation for herself. I do not argue, though.

Instead of having a delicious meal to distract me, I only acquire brain freeze and extra calories. My good judgment decided against using my car, but it hadn’t counted on the rain worsening. ...The Island Flamingo: Chapter 1
I’m not that much of a superstitious person, but I always believe that, in some ways, the universe pranks you. It could range from papercuts to never winning anything to having a food allergy. The universe’s prank on me was to make every Tuesday a hell hole. Tuesdays were always unpleasant for me. Every ...Will You Accept This Submission?

There have always been certain aspects of my personality I knew without a doubt. My “talent” as a writer is ...The Justice Of Usa – Part 6
It’s not exactly a clean getaway. Not like it should be. Usa knows as much, but there’s nothing she can do about it. As her feet crash against the forest floor, as her heart beats in her ears, she tries not to think about her messy escape. She tries not to think of the woman ...A Writer’s Scar
Read Part One here. We normally make vast understatements when the actual statements can’t be put into words. And saying that these times are rough? There’s no greater understatement.
