Good news. I finally had another positive change on the house although it cost me. I almost said ‘cost me dearly,’ but I didn’t have to shed blood or broker a deal with the devil. So, it just cost me. The ceilings in the living room and kitchen are now painted and crack-free. The peeling… Read more

For New Year’s Day, I had the good fortune to be by the ocean. There were hundreds of people around. It does the heart good. Honestly, it does. While I prefer an empty beach, the people demonstrated how they’re not afraid of Covid and, by a more important extension, the government. There were actually a… Read more

It’s so easy to fall off the wagon. I need to hop back on that thing. Maybe it was just the holidays or whatever. Jason has had a day off here and there which kind of threw me off. Mostly, it’s depression. I’ve felt fairly helpless for the past couple of weeks. It doesn’t help… Read more

What does it matter? Saddy paced in her room. Her blue-green eyes darted out the window, to the walls, to the floor. She tugged a long strand of strawberry red hair that hung down her face while biting her lip. Surely, Aldren wouldn’t have found another. He wouldn’t have fallen for another, for Gabs.

Morning came. Saddy scattered the fire prepared the horse for the multi-day return trip. Aldren lazily woke and watched before finding a ration bar for breakfast.

Gabs’ mind’s eye was fading. The lapsing darkness felt like water creeping into her skin through her pores, through her body. A feeling of surrender, truth, and peace.

— For some reason, the previous weekend has made me feel mentally vulnerable. More so than usual. It’s weird, but I’m trying to pull myself out of it. Anyway… Night became absolute and Gabs slept fitfully. Her mind created and replayed the situation of the conversation. She, Aldren, and Saddy would stand in a room,… Read more

Gabs watched intently. She studied every move Saddy made, making note of every touch. When Saddy placed Aldren’s head on her lap and brushed back her hair, she cringed.
