I sat in awe as the dark sky started to light up. Each star appearing one by one like someone poked holes into a lid for a butterfly. The trees started to illuminate with the tiny specs of fireflies looking for a mate with the brightest glow. I took a breath on closing my eyes to feel the earth breathing around me one breath at a time lifting me into the air. I open my eyes to see the ground benea...

I closed my eyes one more time,

I heard the laugh of my past,

The sky started to spin,

And for that moment we could fly.

When I opened my eyes,

The family surround around my bed,

Wide eyed I smiled,

As I exclaimed we could once fly.

As they all starred in wonder,

The grandkids giggled,

We turned the gaze upon them,

As they proceeded to fly in circles.

I closed my eyes once more,

Listening...

Your honor, I come to you this evening on October 31st, 1953 with my final word. I understand I have committed the act of murder of Alexander Harris, i at this point in time feel no remorse for what I have done. I have taken the law into my own hands after being told for months there was nothing anyone could do for me. I have relocated five times in two months, I have made over a hundred complaint...

I fear not my own death or even my living life, but I do fear that one day I’ll wake up and regret these feelings.

I fear not the night or even the Sun rays of the morning, but I do fear the thoughts the night brings or the idea I made it another day.

I fear not the loud noises of the day or the slight humming of the air, but I do fear the silence that even drowns out the humming and making m...

As I sit in this dark unforgiving room, no where to go I think about all the things that led me here. All the conversations, all the actions, all the thoughts, everything led to this place of solitude and here I am stuck not sure where to go. I’ve had enough just sitting here, so I get up and start to walk around trying to find a wall with my arms stretched out in front of me. One small hesitant s...

I walked down the dirt path, through all the trees. Listening to the snow crunch under my feet, Thoughts of all kinds running though my mind. I found myself lost in thought and lost in motion not being able to stop. As I look up I see a cave in front of me, ice hanging down with a small breeze coming from within. Do I go in? Or do I turn back and try to find my way? Suddenly I feel my body take ov...

Forgive me father for I have sinned,

This is my first confession,

Possibly my last as well,

Where to start? Any ideas?

Let’s start from the beginning,

What’s troubling you my dear?

Is it a blast from the past?

Or have you done something you can’t live with?

Just last week I caught my boyfriend cheating,

Just last week I planned my revenge,

No I never kicked him out,

But do you know anyone ...

As I sit in this dark unforgiving room, no where to go I think about all the things that led me here. All the conversations, all the actions, all the thoughts, everything led to this place of solitude and here I am stuck not sure where to go.

I thought I knew you…

I thought I could tell you everything…

I thought those late night night talks were something…

The 3am phone calls…

Texts all day…

We used to stay up until dawn.

But you found someone who was better I guess.

I wonder did you tell them my secrets?

Even when I held onto yours…

Did I give you guys some good laughs?

I still have some secrets you never got.

I thought you would...

As death walked out his door, not knowing if he’d be back or not. He gathered his staff and some snacks, he locked his door and placed another stone in the garden for good luck and departed for his adventure. He walked down the path to the portal to welcome the new comer for the new journey.

As they walked through the portal they looked around in the moonlight ombré of the vast unknown. As...
