His name graced magazine covers, and his words commanded standing ovations at tech conferences. He was the man everyone wanted to know, the icon of modern ambition.
But success, as intoxicating as it is, often masks the cracks forming beneath...

Dreams are a silly thing. They can be an escape from reality or a wonderful fantasy. Either way my dreams keep me alive. Keep me away from the heartbreak and the pain.
Every night I hook up to the Machine. The _Dream Machine_, they call it. It keeps us sane. Allows us to stay in line and follow rules without question. We get rewarded in good dreams for a day of hard work. But nightmares come as p...
I shuffle my feet, sitting on a small chair to what seems like an even smaller table. The room is loud with kids giggling and chattering while they color. I would usually be giggling with them—I work here as a volunteer—but today is not one of those days.
He stares at me his desk, watching my actions. Every blink, every tremble. To think those disgusting eyes watched me scream; to think they watc...
It was bright, and happy, but it was the wrong time and place for this. The entire neighborhood had passed, or left to Nevada. Up on a hill, near the green grass, lay a woman. She was old and was the only one who wanted to stay. Her days were almost over, and she hadn’t seen her family in almost 3 years.
(Might finish this later but I’m kinda busy)...
“Until death,” sang a tiny voice from underneath the bench. “until death strikes us all.” The day was bright and pretty. Moments before, the clouds respectfully excused themselves and revealed the sun.
“Joshua, get from under there!” The boy’s mother scolded.
“And quit talkin’ all that nonsense.” His father added.
Joshua crawled from underneath the bench and dusted his pants. His mother walked ...

Early mornings and hard work was rewarded with cerulean blue petunias and peachy walls embraced with positivity that would never quit.
One could find themselves feeling a loud sense of longing, or maybe envy for a...
I watched pop sitting on the bench just off the beach, watching the surf. It was the middle of summer and a perfect day for beach going: hundreds of vacationers sunning and cavorting, building sand castles, searching for shells; on the boardwalk, I knew he was listening to the clack-clack-clack of sandals passing by.
I was at the fruit stand, getting a bowl for each of us. Pop would maybe take a...
Butterfly butterfly
Look at me
All painted colors
Beautiful scenes
Hiding in heaven
High and unseen
While underneath me
I see the obscene
Creatures beneath me
Hurting each other
Killing each other
Sing out loud how it’s
Cool to be mean
They beat their women.
They poison their own seas
Happy in the Knowledge
That nobody sees
Killing their planet
They’ve forgotten me.
My wings may be sma...
I’m done listening to him babble, trying to come up with something to make me move on for good. For all the talking he does, he really is stupid.
“Just stop.” He halts mid-sentence, looking at me confused.”
“You asked for a reason. I’m giving many.”
“Those aren’t reasons. Those are what you think are justifications for your actions. She did nothing to you, ever. Why the hell would you make her fee...
