Rise of the Tellers 8: Thursday Nights

“The weight is coming off,” Siren snapped. She seemed to be panting when she said, “I know what you did to me there. You’re so manipulative and evil.” “What did I do with the weight?” I asked. It’s Thursday night and she is calling me again. In order to keep my government housing, I have… Continue reading Rise of the Tellers 8: Thursday Nights

Rise of the Tellers 2: Bell

Disclaimer: I have limited knowledge on warthogs, their breeding habits or their average dimensions. I would not know a good-sized warthog from a petite warthog. I do not claim to be a warthog expert or enthusiast. When I walked away from Siren I walked away from an entire group of friends. In that one move… Continue reading Rise of the Tellers 2: Bell

“Do you love him?” I ask, and she looks at the bed under me for a moment and shakes her head. “No, I don’t love him. I just like him, and I can’t do this anymore,” Bekah says. She is talking.

Aftermath Guardian’s War 15: Moving Day

I woke up and I had a few things to do before going to Bekah’s house and helping her move into her new place. I took my shower. I was out the door with Sunshine to get to therapy.

Aftermath Guardian’s War 13: Two Pull

The following story includes the Spanish language. I’m not versed in this language and was forced to use an online translator. I’m not sure how accurate it is. I mean no offense if it’s wrong.

Aftermath Guardian’s War 12: A Trip Through Hell

Dungeons and Dragons became a tool. Not right. A path. Again not exactly it. Maybe a blade? Yeah, let’s go with that. Dungeons and Dragons became a blade that I used to lance all my blisters and festering wounds. It was about 2002 when it began to mean something else. It took shape in the… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 12: A Trip Through Hell
