The stars know nothing more than to shine, shine, shine Those on the ground look to the sky, sky, sky. To gaze upon the sparkles in the night, night, night. Wishing that we could burn so bright, bright, bright. Shinning like the stars in our sight, sight, sight. Ignoring how brilliant we are inside, inside, […]

The Waste (VII)
Before Allamar brought his scaled, water-dwelling colossus to the village, the succession of chieftainship had been passed generationally, from father to son, for as long as any living member of the village could recall. The passing of time had been so considerable since the last catch-to-chieftainship, that none of the villagers could specifically remember whose […]
Propulsion
I remember being a scrawny youth, a mere twelve years old, and having recently returned from living overseas for five years in China. I was enrolled in the nearby high school, and was preparing to enter eighth grade, admittedly, being a bit young for that time. I had managed to skip first grade, and thus, […]

What would you do with one million dollars? Would you invest it all, in the hopes that it would multiply your wealth in time? Would you give it to your family, who has nurtured and supported you in good times and bad? Would you donate to a charity, knowing that your generous donation would assist […]

?C?
In one moment, I was writing. In the next, I blinked, and suddenly that which should have been what I thought was something, was only that I missed something that someone else thought was important in the real world. As for myself, I didn’t care at all. Humbly yours, J
Open Hand
Here. Please, open your hand. Are you ready? Good, I’m glad. I will just ask one thing of you, before I place it in your hand. I’m not asking anything outlandish of you. No, no. Its not heavy, nor will you damage it. I assure you, it’s not burdensome. There’s no reason to be scared […]
Retail Calamity
We have all heard of the phrase “retail therapy,” correct? The minute segment of the populace who haven’t heard of this phrase, please take a few seconds away from reading this, to google the meaning. I don’t find shopping in the retail world particularly therapeutic. When I find myself in immediate need of an item, […]
The Waste (VI)
Paris slept poorly, and woke many times. Though, when he woke, he knew not whether it was hours that had passed, or minutes. Adjusting to sleeping during the day, when his normal routine would have him awake, and walking, not sitting for many miles, was challenging. After many hours of sleeplessness, Paris had finally sunk […]
Returning to the Outdoors
This morning my legs carried me, to the peaks of mountains. Not long ago, my ears heard no sound of commotion. At a quarter past nine, my hands could touch the skies. As the sun rose through the clouds, I could smell the pines. Not long after dawn, I gazed down upon valleys. As midday […]
