“Didn’t you have like a thousand?”

“No. Not hardly. I think I around 600.”

It Could Have Been Me

By admin On May 25, 2011 · 37 Comments · In Ancient History

When I arrived home from a hellish family vacation I had this eloquent message on my answering machine: “Hope y’all had a good trip. It’s been really rainy here. By the way, Michelle’s dead.”

Another Day in Paradise

By admin On May 23, 2011 · 39 Comments · In The To Strikes Again

So I have 2 very rambunctious boys. Sometimes things get broken at my house.

The Fight

By admin On April 29, 2011 · 44 Comments · In Ancient History, Writing prompts

“GET.” “THE.” “FUCK.” “OUT.” I shoved him a little harder with every word. He was drunk but not drunk enough because he didn’t budge. He begged. He cried. He pleaded. The words swirled in my head and I just wanted it to be over. I ran to the kitchen, yanked open a drawer and grabbed [...]
