What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I hate being asked this question during an interview. So this one job interview I went to; surprise, they asked. There was no chance I was really getting the job so I couldn’t help myself and answered,Continue reading “This again?”

Once there was Darkness
Chapter 20 Part 2 Kol went to the door. In a little while, a porter entered with tea and water. Kol instructed it to be sat near the box. As the porter left, Kessa arrived. “My king.” She bowed her head. He and Abraham were standing over a box of stuff. She bowed her headContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Growing Up
Growing up, did you know the difference? Growing up, did you know the forest was coniferous? No matter where you turned with toxic conditions you would get burned? Growing up, what did you know about mental illness? What did you know about all the sickness? This person was an eccentric, maybe. These people you sawContinue reading “Growing Up”

Chapter 20 Part 1 Rajaf answered the door to find Kol standing there. “My king.” He smiled. “Please, come in. Kessa and I are eating. Will you join us?” “Forgive me. I wasn’t thinking about the time.” “No harm.” The old man smiled. When Kol entered the small kitchen, Kessa retrieved a bowl for him.Continue reading “Once there was Darkness”

He didn’t look up from the floor as he walked beside her. His hands behind his back. This was odd. He had never done this before. When heContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Waste not. Want not: tooth paste
This poem is being written in stages to highlight the things I do toward frugal living. Toothpaste: squeeze, squeeze you. But never tease me. I will cut you open before I let you be. Give me all your power. Your contents, I will devour. Inside I find more paste. Enough for at lease 5 moreContinue reading “Waste not. Want not: tooth paste”
Once there was Darkness
Stranger in the dark Mecca allowed all people to visit inside its city. It wasn’t until you had proven that you didn’t belong that you were uninvited. Mecca had one jail with 2 rooms. It was not encouraged to end up there. And stays were always brief. Court had been once every 30 days. ButContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
The Climb
On top of the mountain, I climb. To see what I can see. The view is amazing up here. The climb was a little difficult. It was squishy. It moved and made strange noises. Did I tickle you on the way up? Did I step in places I shouldn’t have stepped? Places that caused youContinue reading “The Climb”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 18 Another sleepless night, Kol lit a candle. All he wanted was to kiss Kessa. A real kiss. He had worked up his resolve. ‘Tonight.’ It was Max that answered the call. “Max?” He bowed his head, “Kessa has gone to the mountain..” Kol cut him off, “yes, to learn new ways to preserveContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
