Flash Fiction, Writing

I woke up so disgusted with myself. I couldn’t stand to look in the mirror in the tiny bathroom I rented alongside the tiny bedroom I also rented each month. The owner of the apartment complex was this eccentric lady from somewhere in the Orient. I know this isn’t the proper term to refer to

This is my test flash fiction story for a book idea that is in the vein of David Sedaris. Since I’m not obviously writing consistently to get done with my other novel idea (due to personal shit going on to be honest), I decided to write try something else. For some reason I’m having a

Instead of saying dear so and so, some people decide to write something different. They might call someone by a name the person never uses. The person of great importance calls them by a nickname they don’t particularly care for but does it anyway. People can be selfish in their own little way. Maybe, there

The raging fire outside could’ve been thousands of miles away. We hadn’t smelled the smoke but soon it would fill our nostrils. We would struggle to breath. The smoke might as well have been a snake sucking the oxygen out of us. We are prey to them. Countless thoughts can cross the minds of men

Family can be a powerful unit whether three, four, five, six, or larger. Family can also be challenging where differences can result in ugly endings. I once knew a girl who had a list of names of her future children. There were two columns and she took the list with her wherever she went. Names

Life, Writing

There was a revival of sorts. I was someone mixed up inside. I’m not sure exactly where I could’ve been, in the middle or near the edge. There was a change of heart in the city. I was glad to contribute to the future where I grew up. These generations would be taking care of

The train was supposed to arrive in 15 minutes. I could wait 15 minutes in the negative temperature. I had done it before as a child in those long winter days when the sun glistened on the white snow. I didn’t fear for my life. It was already nearing one in the morning. I was

In my tiredness of being, here I was, big old me, in my little corner of the world. Actually, I’m not that big, I’m far from it, but I like to think of myself as big, which is very different from fat, because my shriveled ego needs a boost. All the kinds of weight on

I will find you and you will not allow me to die. Give me the weight you carry. Put it on my shoulders and let me be heavy. This can become a two-way street but currently it is only one. We can benefit from each other. You will not be disappointed in me. You will
