We’ll Always Have Tomorrow
I hate abstract ideas. So let’s talk about something concrete. About our immortality. Yes, that’s solid. We are as old as the stars. Our souls burning bright.

He struggles, man from the sea, casting glances and spots the other, who knows his flesh could grant immortality. Stranded but not helpless, the sea man is more sailor than he. Twice his […]
“Man From the Sea”
Takke went down to the shore, where the docks creaked above slow churning waters, as cold and grey as coming storms. He knew the path well, every bush and tree. When the breeze blew and salt touched his tongue, he knew to leave the path, and cut through the line of trees, whose bodies […]
“Years of Tradition” – Poem
I had sex and I faked it. You know—that big moment. I should have known it wasn’t meant to be the first time I did it. I don’t know why I stayed and why I faked it every time. I could have said no, “this isn’t going to work out” or something along those […]
