Recently I’ve been on a downward spiral ever since I got laid off my last job. Even though I am receiving unemployment benefits I feel like I am losing my mind. I went from working seventy two hours a week to working none. I’ve tried to make the best of it, tried using my free time to teach myself how to code and get back to writing, but it has been extremely difficult. For some unknown reason I blank out when about…

Just the other day I was talking to a friend of mine and told her that I wanted to be like the person I used to be when I was twenty one years old. At that point in my life I felt I was on top of the world. I was going to college and was working full time as a Detention Officer. For me eighteen dollars an hour was like winning the lotto, for I had not made that kind of…

It’s been fifteen years since we first met, yet my memory of her has never faded. Some details of how we came to be have in fact been distorted, but everything else is still in tact. She still looks as beautiful as the first day I lay my toxic manly gaze over her. I do remember that day, the whole situation was a big ordeal for me. In my late teens I had only wished for someone like her to come into…

I could argue as much as I want that being bullied for so long made me one as well, hence the “when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you,” but I would be lying. I am not going to blame my brother because even though he was one of the main reasons I ended up beating up my friends, it was ultimately my decision to do it. I don’t truly recall how old I was when this…

I can’t believe that after all these years I can still go back and rehash old wounds. I guess that for some reason I keep holding onto them even though they offer no real value other than keeping the bad memories ticking and the unconscious grudges alive. I must have been about ten when I got a good look into what life would truly offer. After we moved into the U.S., I struggled to maintain my composure with the new kids at…

If anyone would have told me that growing up would be a hassle, I would have never believed them. Sometimes I wonder if the things I have seen or lived during my childhood have somehow embedded into my subconscious and at times of uncertainty they come out to play. One of the things that I can still recall as if it were yesterday was watching three dead bodies lying on the hot asphalt one Saturday afternoon. We were visiting my aunt, my…

I waited for hours hiding in the back of the house. I heard a noise and ventured to go check it out. As I head towards the ladder I spotted my big gnarly brother going up the ladder on the other side. He spotted me. He gave me a menacing look and came towards me. He descended and punched the shit out of me. I just felt ton of bricks pound my face time and time again. I started oozing, my face…

I still remember the horrendous heat accosting us the whole afternoon. We were outside playing with toy cars in the shade like every other kid. Lalo just had to come around and ruin that day for me. Well, he ended up ruining it for himself as well. Lalo came over and hit me upside the head. I felt the pain from his tight fist hit me right behind the left ear. The loud sound and the pain disoriented me for a brief…

Man, I remember being young. And now that I think about it as an adult, I kind of know why Michael Jackson was the way he was. I still remember when I was 18 and a girl told me I had really soft hands. You know, it brought back a lot of memories. So now that I’m older and working a gritty job, my hands feel pretty rough. So I no longer masterbate I unless I want to give myself a circumcision.…

Fire escapes And vicious escapes, And barricades In the dangerous zone. Fire smoke and amazing blaze Up in the air. From California city to New York, From City lights in to the world, Tonight we rock and roll. Tonight we rock and roll, Tonight Leo steals the show. Leo the lion, the hero. Leo the lion, the star. Leo the lion, the hero. Leo the lion, the act. Locomotion feel the emotion, Air commotion, secret missions. A show here, a show there,…

I always hated the fact that we had to move around so much from place to place just because of my dad’s job. Just as fast as I would become the center of attention at school, being in the popular group, I would quickly have to leave all of that behind at a moment’s notice. It had become routine, yet I still couldn’t get used to it. Because my dad’s company believed that he could possibly be the only to resurrect a…

A thick flurry swept in, followed by the hollow, deep, frozen side of the breeze that constantly battered my face. I could see my breath transform into a pale, white and heavy solid. I watched it drift about in front of me as my hands shivered in a painful and uncontrollable manner. The pain had sunk deep down into the bone, burrowing itself within marrow. It’s effect was an unbearable pain that shot through my upper body. It almost felt like dying.…

I found myself embedded in the darkest pages of your manuscript. I kept feeding of your insecurities and grew beyond your control. Once I fed for eons, I came out of the shell and brought forth a pain. I watched how you suffered while all your characters dwelled in their sorrows, I felt the agony traverse your mind as you saw your protagonist fall and die slowly before your very eyes. I came off slightly and grew into you, become a part…

The smell of flatulence spread out across the murky skies. A few clouds blinked as if they were ready to rain down havoc on the residents of Assconia. Anthia, the young, merciless mechanic stared into the abyss, searching for anything of entertainment. But there was nothing amusing about where he resided. At times, he almost ran away and joined the GIA rebels, but there was no hope in that. They were losing the war badly. Maybe if they would have more intelligent…

Friends and family gathered to mourn the death of a loved one. And as much as I tried to understand who it was, I ended up without answers. Somehow it was someone I knew, and now he was dead. The cause of death: gunned down. I entered the small room behind everyone else and sat down on the wooden bench. “You should turn off your phone so that it won’t interrupt you during our prayer session.” You’re right. I took out my…

I feel tired. We should head back and put away all of the gear. What do you think? “Yeah, we caught plenty of them. I’m starving, can’t wait to grill these and get a piece. I’ll help you put away the stuff. Did you want to leave it at my house or at yours? Let’s go to my place and we’ll have a cookout there. I grabbed the wooden poles and chairs, then placed them on the back of the truck. My…

Book idea: First page He rocked himself back and forth on the old, wooden chair. His head felt like it were about to implode. Thoughts and images flooded his mind. And the constant memories of his past kept haunting him like a hell hound ripping through interstellar dimension just to find its prey. Death seemed to be near, accosting him; he swore. His face turned a deep dark red and his eyes bulged as he squeezed his head at the temple in…
