You are not only worthy but you are unfathomably good.

But I have done so much bad.

That does not, must not, shall not, define you.

Only be so if I let it, you know?

From here all you can do is grow.

What if I don’t?

What if I do?

What if we fail?

What if we don’t try and never get the chance to succeed?

So many pointless questions you have.

So many answers in that beautiful mind of y...

Seasons greetings

Shall not be defined by lifeless work meetings

Egg nog fresh from the carton

Shall not be defined by the vodka it’s spiked with, as it feels just as jolly when consumed in the frosty garden

The Noble Fir Christmas Tree that towers over us nearly kissing the ceiling with its branches, three lone ornaments hanging

Shall not be defined by the lack of presents underneath, an...

Lacey walked into the gym early on a Monday morning, while the rest of the world was sleeping or just crawling out of bed to make their coffee and crawl back into bed with it. It wasn’t too crowded, but not completely empty either. It was way too early for the creeps to come watch girls bend over in a squat while sitting on the cycling machine pretending exercise. She showed the the stalwart man w...

Melly and Jack both rose early on a Saturday morning, squabbling for the shower to get ready for work, as per usual. Jack somehow swindled his way into getting to go first, and Melly played with their four month old German Shepard puppy as she waited for the shower to free up. After what seemed like an eternity, it was finally her turn and she told Jasper to be a good boy and chew his bone in the ...

You walk upon a misty path

A sign reads those who pass shall feel the wrath

Of the foot bandit

After three steps he cannot stand it

In his teeth must sink

Before you get the chance to blink

It tears into your ankle

Soon your knees buckle as he starts to chuckle

Chomp chomp, he devours your feet in two bites

You never knew you’d be in for such a fright

As you walked upon the mis...

Every night I wake up under the same crooked tree

Deep in the rural woods with no recollection of how I got there

And every night, oh what a sight there is to see

At least five gutted bodies hanging from the twisted branches dripping blood onto the icy grass

Throats slit, eyes gouged, victims of all ages mangled and disembodied under the same crooked tree

I wonder who murdered these poor...

Demi had long, stringy black hair that was lackluster, and had little shine to it. Her skin was a pale translucent, like if her skin was thin enough you’d see her insides through it. She was tall, lanky, and incredibly thin. Her spine showed through her clothing if she leaned forward, and her face was hollowed out with sharp contours. Her nose was pointy and thin, and she had eyes almost black as...

*Click clack click clack*

Christian Louboutin red-bottom heels clicked on the floor with attitude as Christy pretended that the entrance to her local Walmart was a red carpet event. She always made it a point to dress her best anywhere she went, in case she saw someone who spit on her. Her looking good was how she spit on them.

A tall, dark man with a backwoods hoodie looked ...

Clarissa backed out of the driveway in her beat up red car with a few too many dents and a bad paint job, looking as stunning as ever. She was a striking contrast to the Hooptie car she bought after months of saving up working at bargain mart across the way from her home on Bedlow, a street in north Stockton nefarious for gang related activity. She grew up poor and without handouts, having to work...

It was a little after 1:30 on a cold and foggy Tuesday afternoon. Jocelyn stepped one foot outside the badly painted doorframe and decided she needed a jacket. As she turned her foot her mom snapped at her “Jocelyn, don’t forget to do the dishes if you want any dinner tonight!”

She sighed “yes mom”, and moped back upstairs.

When she got to her room she rifled through her messy closet ...
