Elvish Ruckus
Elves around the yule log singing merrily; one pokes at the fire, which sparks it scarily. Others start to push, and then shove others mercilessly. Some begin to cry and yell, shouting extremely loudly. They wake the reindeer in the barn who begin to bay ragingly. Lights flicker on in the cabin; the snow reflectsContinue reading “Elvish Ruckus”

Prepping the introvert for a world of adulting created an unintentional bandit, who stole my wind. Watching her confidently walk away, alone, salty rain shrivelsContinue reading “Betrayed”

Abyss
Most days I swim in the shallows of daily life, “What’s for dinner; Honey, help me please; Oh, that looks good; Where is this thing?” Occasionally, Great White dives into the abyss and pulls a glowing creature from the depths of my darkness that illuminates a way for others, be it a story, a poem,Continue reading “Abyss”
