I heard the waves crashing on the shore. All of my admittedly abysmal survival training has told me to go toward water. Civilization was always on the water.

"Jesus," Ian had looked up to see what racket was coming out of the woods. He dropped the ore and rushed over to me. "Bindi, what in God's name...we've been l

I choose to remain still To remain sleeping inside myself While the world continues on To stay in the place I have created within my mind A place of contemplation A place of quiet reflection Watching the world continue on the way it does The way it always will I choose to stay here so that While the world is in chaos I can watch and remain Still

I’ve heard it said about writers, that we like control and I could see why.

All hail the conquering heros, I thought watching the ridiculous parade of Warriors marching through the city on horseback. I sat atop my own Mount at the back of the crowd of on lookers. Leaning forward over the pomel on my saddle, chin resting on my hand watching the procession. A bunch of self important […]

I come from the woodlands. I grew up climbing it’s trees fingers covered in the dirt jammed under my nails My feet planted firmly in the ground nourishing me as roots from a tree I live in the water Sail on the great lakes Finding fish to eat. Swimming in the depths and fearing not […]

First off, imposter syndrome is a liar. It’s your fear whispering insecurities in your ear to keep you ‘safe’. Safely wrapped in the devil you know to keep you from the devil you don’t. In keeping you from the devil you don’t know though, it keeps you from growth and new experiences, and that’s not […]

Those moments of quiet Those moments to think Are the moments that I need to filter through everything that I’ve seen and heard throughout the day.These are the moments that restore me That bring me back to center. They bring me back to balance.These are the moments where the noise in my head gets put […]

My job is a dream. A day dream A dream where I get to write And that pays my bills My job is a dream A day dream It comes from my imagination Anything that I can dream up And if it’s good, it goes down on paper My job is a dream A day […]

Interrogation With A Vampire Walking into the stone cell, I expected to see terror in my victim. I had a reputation that no creature to date hadn’t heard of me; none entered my chamber that didn’t aware my arrival with some amount of trepidation. The longer I practiced my craft, the farther my reputation spread, […]

I noticed the leaves changing today I noticed it as I was driving in my car For the first time this year, I noticed the leaves. I noticed the yellows mixed with the greens. I noticed reds and oranges on some of the trees. I was caught off guard by how early it’s all happening […]
