Bullshit

I was heading home from my girlfriend’s house and it was taking a while. She lived well south of San Francisco and it was a weekend so the trains weren’t running.

I only saw my…

Nessa kissed Tim on the cheek twice. “You saved me,” she said to him, vulnerably. He took her by the hand and prayed for their fortification, as he drove down Kennedy Street. “Amen,” they uttered simultaneously after he concluded. Nessa drew in a deep breath and exhaled. “I appreciate you for coming,” she told him, feeling as though she had inconvenienced him. “You know I wouldn’t have took it personal if you said you couldn’t come. I’m sure your wife was unhappy with you leaving at that time of…

Henri Cole’s poem “Swans” speaks about the passing of a father and the impact it has on his children, through his use of imagery of the scene to reflect the internal thoughts of his characters, symbolism as manifestations of their traits, and similes to describe their emotions. From the onset, Cole’s word choice of “must have looked,” (1) implies that everything is not how it seems, thus the calm nature of “ordinary/ tourists feeding . . . swans,” (1-2) is the opposite of the speaker’s feelings…

The poor got what was the rich didn’t want or could not finish…

The Paintball Life "Go! Go! Rush through it! He's the only one left! Go! Go! Goooo!" Purple smoke is only thing between me and the enemy player. Heart is racing, shoots are still being fired from both sides of the field. Deep breath, gun up and go. If you've played paintball before, you know exactly what I'm talking about. A full bore rush of adrenaline, a learning experience, an adventure to the unknown and of course there's nothing better than wearing war paint while talking with the team…

Laying in the bed, where a man was supposed to be, was a distorted figure. The figure had the body of a man, but was missing the arms, the…
