The Writer's LibraryThere’s a morning chill in the air as I walk briskly through the snow. The faint light of dawn is just over the hills of the horizon as the aurora fades from the sky. Last night was difficult. I’d witnessed a fallen angel upon the snow-laden ground and taken his pulse only to find none. […]
Part I here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Day ???? I’ve left the island. It was a risk, but I had to do it. I spent a long time building this raft I’m sitting on, and my work has been rewarded with relatively calm seas so far. The little disheveled puppy cuddles up to me, sheltering himself from the […]
How do you know what to do next in a situation like this? It’s been a very long time since everything came crashing down, and I’m still not sure if it’s safe to try and escape now, even such a long time after the disaster that ruined everything for me. I’d gone to the school […]
What is it like to pass through the unknown? Adam found himself reflecting on this question as he raced down the highway, fear raging in his chest. All around him, from every corner of the sky, lightning rained down in torrents, striking the ground every minute. The car was old […]

The night is calm, but my mind is a racing engine. It is raining fire all around me. You watch me from above, long to take me in your arms and protect me forever, yet the sky is your prison, and you can only watch as I begin this journey. Every step, every footprint feels […]
Hold. Wait until my breath slows and my heartbeats catch up to yours. We are one, yet we are separate as the sky deepens to mauve around the edges and the stars converse with each other in the night. We stand together in a holy embrace, yet there is something more spiritual than religious about […]
Sometimes I wish I could sip the stars. My breathing labored, I hold you in my arms. You gaze upon the stars in my eyes as the world tilts on its axis and we want to fly, for we are children of this starry night. I breathe in the scent of your overly long coat […]
The sky is bleeding rose petals and the sun is crying golden tears. I am beside you in the moon that is resting in the arms of the sun. They have become one, but not I; I am shattered beside you, and only you can make me whole. But you are leaving as the clock […]
