Grief and a Mess
I lost my mother in mid-February. It was gut wrenching and unbelievably sad. Of course the world shortly after exploded with a virus that took our country by storm. As I write this today, we have passed 2,000 deaths in the USA and I am not so self-centered that I don’t realize that every one…

2020 Plague: A Beginning
When the humans of old Earth faced their first plague in 2020, the global population began to split themselves into 4 distinct categories. It was hard to imagine where those categories would eventually go, but little by little as things devolved on the planet the separations became clearer and more distinct. In the beginning their…

Scary Stuff
I have always been someone who avoids the nightmarish stories that others love. My imagination makes horror stories come to life and grow and thrive inside my imagination.

Ramblings

She is not a Heartsinger, releasing the pain trapped in people’s minds with songs that push out the negative by enhancing the positive emotions.

Measure a Good Day
Most of my adult life I was a teacher. A good day was when kids learned. I also favored the ones when I did not have to call cops, social workers, psychiatrists, or Doctors to help keep my students alive. That being said, I am no longer teaching, but instead I am working in sales.…

When the dragons first encountered the newly arrived humans, they saw them as beasts, fearful, gibbering, and hiding from everything.
