A lot of his friends now had an Amazon Ring. Or some other type of home security system. He really ought to have one of those. It was the 21st century after all. Why wouldn't you have one of those? During Christmas he had watched the first  Home Alone movie,...

Rodia contemplates when to admit he's lost his job

The first face Rodia saw that morning was Mark's. 

"Hello, good morning." Mark said with a smile. "Breakfast?"

Cafe out of place as reply to Vulnerability

After walking past the glass door she felt out of place. She never came to cafes without her journal, laptop, and a good book. And unlike most people she never met people at cafes. 

Today there was no time for her to cozy in the corner booth and get lost...

What is a good relationship?

The world has always been filled with a lot of shit. Somewhere, someplace there are people dying for no fault of their own. There is always suffering and unfair exploitation. Long time ago you could get by without knowing much of it, only the things you could see around you....

200 Words a Day
The magic of 200 Words a Day

Once Brandon asked me something along the lines of "where has the magic of 200 words a day gone?"
