My rational mind has abandoned me. I know that there is nothing there. And yet, I know that something is going to get me. Some unseen thing is going to snatch me away and make me a meal. I shiver, rub my arms, and walk a little faster. Just one more block, but that seems like miles.

I reach down and pat my back pocket, checking for the thousandth time for my phone. No one has passed me since I l...

“Uh? Is now a good time?” He shouts. Chopping off another soldiers head. His wild hair is flecked with red, and he has a gash on his cheek. Some would say he looks mad, but to her, he just looks, well… okay, maybe a bit mad.

“I know I would regret it if I didn’t say it right now.”

But no one has the time to say anything. For at that precise moment—...

Who are you?

What do you want?

Where did you come from?

Why are you here?

I am no one.

I don’t want anything.

I came from nothing.

I don’t know....

“I’m not ready.” I’m shaking beyond normality. He puts his hand on my shoulder and lifts my chin with two fingers. Forcing me to look into his eyes.

“Maybe not.” He lowers us down to our knees.

“But you need to tell me.” I begin to protest. “So you don’t have to carry all that weight alone.” I shudder. I’m not ready. I don’t think I ever will. I buried it so I wouldn’t have to bring it back up ag...

Have you heard?

The tall tales telling

themselves?

The ballads of the sea

The arrangements of ships

The wooden palaces

floating by

The kings and queens

ruling the seven seas

The very letters of their names

inspire fear into their many

enemies souls

The poor persons left to

Drown

The deep blue granted pardon

for it killing spree

Their spirits left to wander

hopelessly

Now I ask again

Have you ...

As I write, Artemis, I have slid your dainty paws off my notebook at least five times. I am trying to break through this wall in my head, but alas the only inspiration I have is you.

Your purring causes mini earthquakes across my written worlds.

The fur framing your delicate face is silver. Silver as the moon light coming in the window. Silver like the Greek goddess of ancient myth. Artemis. Th...

“What ten items would I bring to an island?” He rubs his chin.

“Well, I would probably take a bed.” He thinks for a second.

“This is bloody harder than I thought.” He chuckles.

“Uuuuuuuum, a weapon of some sort. Oh, and some food…and water.”

“What is that three? Okay. Um can I take a person with me?”

“Ok then I would bring my love. Whether she likes it or not.”

“I’m n...

There’s that smile.

The one that kills me.

Every

Single

Time.

The smile that, somehow, makes you deep brown eyes bright. And makes your adorable dimples even more pronounced than usual.

You are unaware of my constant staring, and I don’t plan to make you aware anytime soon. Staring is the only thing I allow myself. Anything more and I would be destroyed. Because if I let myself fall. I will fa...

The black cat takes it time walking across the sidewalk in front of him. As if it knows. Knows that he brings bad luck. The man had frozen, his fingers clutching his lucky rabbits foot. The cat stopped a little more than halfway across and sits down and begins licking itself.

The man creeps closer and sneaks past on the farthest edge of the walkway. He speed walks away as long as he can, then st...

I will forever and always remember and be grateful for…

the Living Christ and His gospel....
