Heads Up

The first thing I do when I get home is to take my dog to the bathroom. As we head out, walking down the driveway to the yard; a vehicle is driving past. Out of the corner of my eye, I see this black object flying straight toward me. The projectile wizzed by me. YeahContinue reading “Heads Up”

New Earth

2,030 marked the first human mission to Mars. Scientists were on this trip; people who were in charge of setting up the first ever base camp. Ground Y had already launched two BFS’s (Big Florida Spaceships) to Mars, full of cargo for the base camp. Earth held its collective breath as the big crafts landedContinue reading “New Earth”

What the Stank?

Sleep is a welcomed friend. I need it so. My mood. My body. My spirit it mends. Images flood my mind. I toss to and fro. I wake with my eyes pouring water. My nose is on fire. My throat is tight.

A popcorn shower, I feel like a rat – drown. Drops bloop on ponds making happy little fishies. Shoes soaked. Toes are icky andContinue reading “Ode to Rain”

Interrupt Sleep

Sleep is an amazing event in my life. My bed is soft and warm. Sleep wraps me in comfort. It erases the stress of the day. Oooh, if I get to dream, especially a good dream, sleep transports me to a whole new world. Sleep is my friend. One night I am ripped from myContinue reading “Interrupt Sleep”
