I woke up still tasting the sweat on my breath and my muscles stiff; something wicked lurks in the shadows. a knock at the window disturbs my sleep I got up in a fright, from a dream of what goes bump in the night and truly what a horrendous sight, the grotesque creature lurking just out of sight. Was it real or was I merely dreaming, I try to keep my cool ,but inside I'm screaming. the horrors untold, my soul was its to hold. I turn on the lights in my bathroom mirror, I peer inside in anticipation, when suddenly in abject horror, I see a m...
(Well, hello there! Welcome welcome and do please come in! I hope the way here wasn't too troublesome for you? What, with all the rain) *takes your jacket (my name is, the jolly good fellow, yes i know, how cliche, but i assure you i am one of a kind) (Take a seat, kick up your feet, ill pour us some tea yes?) *gets the tea from the kettle and pours into a cup. Hands to you. (Now, I do suppose you're here for a story aye?) *you nod (Let's get to it then. Now, where to start? Ah yes! There was this love story of a young and ambitious cit...
The legacy (what we leave behind) His side: I took a young man under my wing many years ago, Now it's time to watch him spread his wings and fly away. From the nest he must go. But I do not send him unprepared, For we have walked life together for many years. A lot of shed tears, Confessions and gentle correction. I trained him up as if he were one of my own sons. I am proud to be called spiritual father, mentor, and friend. This journey has brought me many a great joy. This is not the end of an era, but a new start. To raise up the next ge...
The argument (early days) Her side: It started small, silly thing really. He keeps leaving his clothes on the floor. I tell him time and time again to put them in the laundry bin. It wasn't the clothes that set me off, not really. It's two humans getting to know eachother, Knowing eachothers quirks and ins and outs. I've never known nor lived with a man, And he never a woman. I'm emotional, while he's all logic, It's the logic and facts part that got to me. I want to feel like I'm heard, that he feels what I feel, Is that too much to ask? ...

This night my life was required. I've never felt quite this Tired. So quickly, I turned my face inward towards the wall, For I had fallen ill, And death would surely consume me, till, I prayed to the God of the universe to save me, extend my life for a time. 15 more years were granted as mine. Oh the joy! That God of creation did not forget my faithfulness! Yet a grave error did I then make puffed up in pride of my newfound fullness! A great woe, of my own making! I idolized my treasures, in prideful boasting! There were men of great st...
