How's everyone doing this fine Sunday afternoon? Staying plenty cool I hope? Drinking lots of water? It's much less humid today than it was yesterday at least. I just felt like a puddle all day Saturday. I spent the morning on my makeshift patio in the backyard drinking my coffee and browsing Pinterest before the … Continue reading Ahhh I’m Melting!

I'm a 31 year old kid who plays an adult at work, doing data analysis in the aerospace industry. When I'm not sorting through Excel spreadsheets there or banging my head against my keyboard at home hoping for a story to come out of the garbage, I'm usually reading through a stack of books or watching anime or playing tennis with my husband.

Prompt 278-Facial Hair
Do you like or have facial hair? Todd grimaced at the tray of processed nutrient bars and protein supplements disguised as pudding.

Prompt 277-Grinds My Gears
What grinds your gears and really annoys you? For a self-proclaimed “super laid back” chick, I certainly find myself in a state of annoyance more often than I care to admit.

June Special: Coping Mechanism
Grief is weird. They say time heals all wounds, and to an extent, they’re not wrong. Bones mend, cuts scar, bruises fade. Even heartache lessens over time. But grief can strike when you least expect it, even decades after the loss. You wake to a brilliant sun in the most cerulean of skies, the emerald … Continue reading June Special: Coping Mechanism
Prompt 275-Mythical Life
What would life be like if unicorns and dragons existed? I think my answer changes based on how long these mythical creatures have existed in this hypothetical. Have they always existed or did they just materialize one day? The world would be two very different places depending on when unicorns and dragons existed in human … Continue reading Prompt 275-Mythical Life
Prompt 274-Animal Attack
Have you ever been attacked by an animal? Janna’s bare feet struck the soft dirt as she ran, zigzagging through the trees, their skeletal branches stretching over her head, pointing to nothing.
