Disoriented and foggy, Rel opened her eyes to the current reality. Her head pounded and she could tell by the cotton mouth that she was severely dehydrated. The sun set in the distance. Rel tried to piece together the last 24 hours. Her last solid memory dated back to nightfall and her heart raced …

The Rollercoaster
You can feel the clicking. The chugging. And it’s louder than you can comprehend. The excitement is bubbling up within you as well as everyone around. The closer you get to the climax the tenser you get. Energy gets feverish, as if you have no control. But with every click, with every chug gravity weighs …
Making Love
Making Love is such a beautiful thing. These are such strange times but, times that have shown me a side of life I’ve never gotten to enjoy. The mention of ‘Making Love’ brings such a specific picture to mind. It’s two people, it’s sexual, it’s only available through another person. I am learning that sincerely …
Three Wise Men
It’s such a strange feeling to be so comfortable around a person you hardly know. It doesn’t happen often, but I felt it as soon as I met Maureen and Jeff. I should have known when I kept running into them throughout the bookstore that it was for a reason. It’s usually so unnerving to …
Crimson
I remember thinking how handsome he was the first time we met. An old client of mine had introduced us. He was very clever. Funny too. He wasn’t much taller than me but he was fit, strong. You could tell just by looking at him that he took good care of himself. Patrick had the …

She walked past the bus stop through the parking lot, paying next to no attention. She had walked this route so many times that …
Spring Cleaning: A Short Story
What a way to spend my day off; cleaning. It’s not like I get a lot of free time in the first place. Between working 60 hours a week and trying to keep some semblance of a social life, I don’t exactly have time to be ‘Suzy Homemaker’. Still, I didn’t think our little kitchen …
My Declaration of Self-Help
I’m a waitress. One thing I hear constantly from my managers and coworkers is “don’t be afraid to ask for help”. I don’t like that. I am not good at asking for help; it makes me extremely uncomfortable and halfway through asking for it, I normally decide it was a mistake and try to reverse …
A Change Of Roles
Growing up is shitty. I have been moping a lot lately, so I am writing this entry in hopes that it will expel the last of my sad little attitude from my system and I will get over it. I am in no way a fully formed person. In fact, in my mind I still …
Whose Life Is It Anyway?
Okay so I know my blog thus far has run along the lines of self-empowerment and being comfortable with yourself, but something has been irking my nerves. I’m fairly comfortable with my life at the moment and I’m having fun being single; so why is there always someone else who is not? I get questioned …
