Tree

I’ve experienced many memories,

more than words or actions will let on.

Far more, far too many

most that I remember are fond.

Unique,

like branches of trees: branches of sadness, grief, anger,

fear, pain; branches of happiness, love, joy, peace.

Ones that break apart,

diverge, making more and more branches.

Trees root themselves into soil,

their roots carving paths into unforgiving darkness.

Though media is subject to mockery and the words our leader says are “pure truth,” there are still those out there strong enough to oppose his voice. Our strength shall not be outnumbered.

Rumors drift around of Russian interference. But, so long as the truth conti...

warmth and pain.

Remember, even the fondest of memories can become bittersweet sorrows.

Even the greatest of pains bring about great change. Remove your past, take on a new name. Remember, remember, remember your pain.

Bring Me A Drink (Fiction)

The cold stone walls of the tavern seemed menacing yet warm and inviting. Patrons sat either at the rounded oak tables that occupied five or six people each, or at the light mahogany bar that faced the entrance of the tavern. Bottles and glasses of expensive wines, liquor, tequila, vodka, and other alcohol shone like diamonds in the desert at high noon. A bartender stood in a tuxedo, with light brown hair and clear crystal blue eyes, about 6 feet tall, and seemingly normal aside from his peculiar pointed ears. The bar’s floor had been recently waxed, Mr. Salmon (the bartender) took great pride in keeping hs shop nice, neat, organized, and orderly. The walls, on either side of the tavern, were packed, cobblestone. . Orbs of a mysterious, soft amber light, floated aimlessly between the tables. His bar catered to all; Humans, anthropomorphic animals, ghosts, ghouls, and things that go “BUMP” in the night. Most mortals would never suspect that the person sitting next to them were otherwor...
