Pandora’s Box

Today she realized she could be a burden to someone else, because you told her she would one day be a bother to the ones she loved. She had heard that advice before of course, but today it dawned on her, the fullness of what you meant. The Pandora’s Box had revealed it’s tempting self... Continue Reading →

The Worst Things When Hungover

I have found it- the worst thing for a hangover.It’s when someone bursts into your bedroom at 7 am,and proceeds to flip all your lights on.Then at 7 pm-at-a-party volume, tells you all about his previous day.Then immediately proceeds to ask you to make decisions about upcoming travel plans, at this ungodly hour.All the while...

Five minutes into the trip, I paused from my conversation with my neighbor, because I was... Continue Reading →

Dangerous, Little Ol’ Me?

Why you gotta make me so dark and twisted, Lord?
