Sarah stretched awake. “Good morning,” Orion smiled. She sat up whimpering, rubbing her lower back. “Ow.” “Too hard?” “Yes.” “They never bother me.” She stood up doing some stretches to work out the knot inContinue reading “Coreopsis 7-a”

One candle
It has never been this cold. Though, I can’t see my breath as in stories of old. The coat clinging to my back; in one piece around my torso, is full of cracks. Has my god completely abandoned me? Was my religion a hoax? Alone I sit, on the cold pew. Screaming at God untilContinue reading “One candle”
Light box
A long time ago, the office I worked in had a light table. I never had an occasion to use the light table as it was meant to be used. It was more of a table. An extra desk. As I’ve gotten more and more into art and drawing; there have been times a lightContinue reading “Light box”
Lost Past; A Star Trek Story
Paramount Global owns the Star Trek franchise. This is a piece of fan fiction based on Star Trek the Next Generation.

Coreopsis 6-e
“You were right in your assumption,” she spoke louder so he could hear her. “Never?” “No.” “I envy you.” He drew a sharp breath as the cold water caressed his face. “You know nothing about my personal life, don’t envy me.” “You have freedom.” He reached out and touchedContinue reading “Coreopsis 6-e”
My last weight loss journey: here we go again
Growing up, my dad suffered with horrible acid reflux. He called it the ‘strong neck’ or ‘sour neck’. The 2 were interchangeable. Many years ago I went to the doctor and had a barium swallow performed. I was in my early 30’s? Scared and stupid. Had to drink this chalky white stuff, got strapped to aContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: here we go again”
Cottage Cheese Fudge?
Am I kidding? No. And this is really good. My only complaint is that I couldn’t get the cottage cheese creamy enough. My fudge was a little lumpy. 1 bag of chocolate chips, melted. I melted mine double boiler style. You can melt them in a microwave; just make sure not to cook them. 1Continue reading “Cottage Cheese Fudge?”
The chase
Big black dog, nipping at my heals. I know you. You chase me. Bite me. Catch me. Smother me. Your weight is more than I can bare. We fight. Wrestle. I run. You chase. I hide. You sniff me out. If I’m inside, you’re outside. If I’m outside; you’re inside, waiting to pounce. Big blackContinue reading “The chase”
Coreopsis 6-d
Orion was lying on his side, staring at her. She had the most adorable round face, with a playful little chin. “What?” She asked with her nose still buried in her book. When he didn’t answer, she looked up. He was breathing heavily, “Orion?” “Nothing,” he thought for a moment. “What colorContinue reading “Coreopsis 6-d”
