He liked to call himself the real life Indiana Jones. My mother would always tell me his stories were always exaggerated and to not get to obsessed with them. She would say his stories did not really happen like a movie.
I remember when I was l...
Thoughts on Love?
Love
I’ve experienced it in a relationship before,
Gotten loved by my family,
Even by the pets.
I’m not on the prowl for such a thing though.
I shall keep striding on, hand in hand with my life.
Won’t turn my gaze nor a glance backwards, for I am yearning to move forwards.
I refuse to waste my days, months, and years for a such thing that could rip me to shreds in the end.
Being the cautious bu...

“Don’t rush me. I’m being as careful as I can,” I said, silently annoyed- though I could never stay mad long at her-, slowly working my calloused fingers through her beautiful silver-blonde mane of hair. She was so lucky.
She sighed. “I know, I know...”
I stared absently at the shafts of gold that danced in from the open window, illuminating her features. She looked nothing short of a goddess,...
Close Encounter
“Hurry up, Xyle!” shouts Darlene.
“Don’t rush me. I’m being as careful as I can,” the purple alien retorts, “you know how fickle humans can be.” He keeps sewing at the man’s forehead. Thank Jupiter they brought the first aid kit.
Darlene and Xyle didn’t have many expectations for their first date, but they certainly didn’t expect to accidentally hit an astronaut with their space car. The penalt...

“Don’t rush me. I’m being as careful as I can.”
Washington was about to intersect before he paused and considered the circumstances.
He’d much rather Tucker be careful then quick.
“Ok, ok.” He rationalized. “Just don’t hurt her.”
He could hear Tucker scoff from under the porch. “How do you even know it’s a girl?” He hissed before mumbling something Wash didn’t hear but could only assume was a...
Slow and steady
“Don’t rush me. I’m be as careful as I can,” I said to my friend. “But you’re sooooo slow!!” I know I am slow, but this process takes skill and care, it should not be rushed.
My friend was bouncing around, so impatient. “You are distracting me,” I stated, “can you sit down? Just until I am finished.”
“But I want this done nooooow,” he whined. Why were we friends again?

Out pops a Werewolf
As Markus watched from the roof through the sky light he could see the torrent of energy lashing out from the vortex. Declan found a way to use the energy created by the portal to power the city. “Malcom, I am impatiently disgusted with how slow you are going. We need more out put from the portal...you said you could handle this. Do I need to find someone else?” Declan clenched his cane. “Don’t ru...
Art Takes Time to be Beautiful, So Do I
Don’t rush me
I’m being as careful as I can
I’m trying to take care of myself
Shape my clay into something worthy of admiration
Carve my wood into something worth looking at
But any good art takes time to perfect,
And every good artist takes time to tune their craft
Therefore, if I wish to be a work of art,
So will I....
