    “Get the sacrificial blade,” my master commanded.  I waddled over to the table behind her and hesitated. There were three blades sitting before me. One with gems along its handle and cross guard, one sharp only on one end with a curved tip, and one with four prongs sticking out its top. My lips and…

  • The View From Halfway Up/Writing Update

    No Bojack Horseman shenanigans to be expected here, in just going to share a little bit of my writer’s journey in finishing my 50,000 word count goal for my first draft. Initially, I was hoping to write a book that would be about this size but, given the scope of what I’m writing about and…

    You wake up in your bed. Something feels off. Smells off. No matter, you mind your own and get up to brush your teeth. Your toothbrush isn’t where you left it. No, it has been neatly organized for you in a little compartment beside your sink. You find this odd because you’re the brush-in-cup type…

  • Curtain Call, Pablo

    Pablo stood on the balconey off center of a vase filled with orchids. Plastic? No, real. Definitely real. Pablo dropped the petal off of the balcony and watched it helicopter down to the world below. The world of perfect, synthetic stone. Flat. Infallible. Give it a couple of years. Pablo looked up and took a…

    I walk home at night on the left side of the street. Always left, never right. I’m actually not sure why this is, but I notice a lot of the time people tend not to be on the left side of the street walking behind me. I can see when someone is coming and prepare…

  • The Pills Won’t Help You Now

    Larry sat up in his hospital bed. Three treatments thus far had not cured him of his ails. In fact, nothing ever really would. By the looks of things, he would be going in and out of consciousness until the day he died. He was told this way of thinking was pessimistic. He argued it…

  • Vowing Doesn’t Help

    In case you haven’t heard, people don’t like to follow through with their plans. As Shia Labeouf once said in a historically hilarious video, “Yesterday, you said tomorrow, so JUST DO IT!”  The problem is, just doing it doesn’t get it done. Huh? Sure, you can get little things done like cleaning your room in…

  • “Are You Happy?”

    In a study done in 1988, psychologists discovered that we have different views on our quality of life from moment to moment, depending on what we were thinking about before we were asked the question. Duh, right? If you just finished watching Schindler’s List, you’re likely going to feel happy about your cozy position in life…

  • Why Are Negative Thoughts Stronger Than Positive Ones?

    You’ve had a rough day; someone cut you off on your way to work, you hit just about every red light, your friends won’t give you the time of day because they assume that you’re always working and worse: you are always working. You just can’t seem to get a break! Or can you? We constantly fill…
