  • Let’s do the Time Warp Again

    Her mother hired me. She was a put-together woman- successful, polished, proper and kind. I met the Father once. He seemed sweet but then again, I only saw him that one time. I approached their massive and elegant house the first day, looking for the side door they said I could enter. Their Airbnb guests…

  • The Friend Zone

    The Friend Zone

    I do not ever dare lie next to him, Unsure of the events to soon follow. My feelings, I am sure, are of pure whim, My heart for him is nothing but hollow. Yet he makes me genuinely smile, And my laughter derives from purest joys. Not having known him for a long while, He…

    Top 10 Reads in 2018

    I read almost 50 books last year. Yay me! I think it would be proper to share my favorites. I rated the books below 5 out of 5 stars, which means I thought they were exceptional and worth reading again. They fall across various genres, so hopefully one or more spark an interest! There will…

  • Aren’t We All A Little Mad?

    Starting off spooky season with one of my favorites! This is based on a dream I had when I was younger and had teddy bears. I don’t think I had any after this. Let me know what you think in the comments below the post!

  • The Best Kind of Christmas

    The Best Kind of Christmas

    This year, Christmas included watching Friday the 13th, a cartoon about agnosticism, baking usual and unusual Christmas cookies, and of course, more Costco. Christmas with my family is never disappointing. I think it mainly stems from the joy we gain in spending time with each other. However, after too much time with them, you do…

  • The Loner

    The Loner

    Paige was hungry. Starving. And the stir-fry wafting through the air was making her drool. She took in a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and walked towards the food truck, trying to appear casual in her roughed up jacket, torn tights, and dirty plaid shorts. Thankfully her beanie was covering up her greased up hair she…

  • The Best of Modern Human Culture

    Don’t know what to write about? You should try out writing prompts. Sure, it might turn into a rant (see below), but at least it gets you to write. NASA is building a new Voyager spacecraft that will carry the best of modern human culture. What belongs onboard? The best of modern human culture? First…

  • The Living Portraits

    The Living Portraits

    She wanders through the halls of her abandoned family home, most of it resembling remains of the catacombs. Except for the portraits, as they still hang. Sneaking secret glances, she feels the first pang. They glare as though they know what she’s done. Of course they do! They had known before it begun. Steadying her…

  • How to Catch a Beauty

    How to Catch a Beauty

    I woke up, realizing I was suspended in a net hundreds of feet above the ground.   Alarming, no? Down below, I could barely make out a courtyard we were so high up. It was lined with trees, sprawled pathways, and a glamorous fountain was positioned in the center. However, an abyss of darkness surrounded the…

  • Wisdom Teeth, Be Gone!

    Wisdom Teeth, Be Gone!

    Today I had my wisdom teeth removed.  I know, you’re thinking, “You JUST got these removed?” I feel like everyone had them removed back in high school, but I just had to be special and wait until after I turned 30. Honestly, I just didn’t want to spend the money. But being that my wisdom…
