Day 625 : The rats are still in the cage, until a boy walked up to the cage and transfers the rats into another , smaller cage. Probably so the boy can clean the cage.

After they were freed they traveled far, but at some point they settled down at the house of a military veteran named Joey. He had a small family. He has a son named Shaun, a wife named…

Being an immigrant is a title, but I view it more as a story, my story. On my way to America I’m reciting , “Dil Dil Pakistan Jaan Jaan Pakistan”, in my mind.The literal translation of that is “Heart Heart Pakistan Soul Soul Pakistan”. I was the definition of a stereotypical immigrant. A heavy Pakistani accent, for sure a curry lover, and of course I wanted to go to Harvard, the only option available for me. Inspired by the fact that America was the one and only place that I would be able to…

A mixture of anger and stress brewed inside of her; she could not bare to see all of these once…

Some of you will remember this story. It was ten years ago, and I was employed then as a forensic psychologist in Marin County. Much of my work involved talking to criminals, then testifying as to their sanity in a court of law. On the afternoon this all began, for example — that afternoon when I blacked out in Sara Johnson’s apartment — I was scheduled to examine a man who’d been accused of strangling his wife. Because of that incident, and all that has happened since, I know many people will…

Smith.” The day arrived that I would have to do something significant. During a men’s meeting, with other churches, Deacon Simms motioned my way and said, “go teach the men about leadership from the bible.” That day is forever etched in my memory. Teaching from Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Arguably explaining that as a leader, you must believe that you can accomplish any task when God is your guide. I could use my bible for references being that I…

After all, using the “star crossed lovers” will ensure some entertainment. The games are changing, becoming something new. Trouble is coming, something we can't undo. It all started, a…

When a hand is placed on my back and an arm drapes over my chest, Alfonso and I both look at stranger. I blink several times this time. I find a very similar face to Alfonso's. Same red hair and green eyes, just the opposite sex. Jenny has come for me. She gives me a brief smile before she uses her arms to hug my head and I…
