Augustus had tried since his teenage years to fit all of his life’s possessions and experiences into one small carry-on luggage his grandmother had given him for his eighteenth birthday. He didn’t know why she thought this would be a good present for him. His parents never instilled in him that travel was a good…
“What in fresh hell is this?” I screamed when I saw what was before me. It has been five years since my death. I had no idea what would come my way after my timely death. Luckily for all the terrible thoughts running through the little brain of mine, I died naturally due to old…
It’s funny how the largest city in any state of the U.S.A. gets all the attention when someone gets brutally murdered or the most scandalous politician finds the most beautiful hooker. Sure, he’s claims he didn’t mean to have sex with her or to ever hurt his wife, but things never change when it comes…
Have you seen how ketchup gets darker the longer it stays in the refrigerator? Once a bright red, lighter than the color of blood, almost a hint of orange if you look at it a certain way. This might be because I see things different through the lens given to me at birth. I continue…
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…

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…
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…
