Reasons Why You Should Not Run.

A reminder letter, for when you’re really struggling to hold yourself back. — First of all, people will look at you. They will talk about you. They will describe you in terms that you have neither chosen nor endorsed. And some of the things they say may be mean and untrue. They could be completely irrelevant to boot. …

Faulty Accounting

I’m a glutton for punishment, and you agree, especially if I’m looking for logic from you, for me. — There was never any logic in the equation of us. You need the values for both parts in order to find the sum, the answer to the problem of two people trying to become one. …

Far longer than one should

I talk to the thought of you, tell it to stay away from me, to stop bothering me, especially now, when the timing is perfect, with the rain and lack of oversight, for a little switch to flip — — and there I go, lost in the memories again. We…

A Female.

How does it feel, to denigrate a female? Does it come to you, naturally? Offhand, you spontaneously think, She’d be more attractive if she just tried a little. Do the words roll off your tongue? When you call her a slut — Tell her she’s old and desperate, After you’ve used her up, Had your fill of backrubs and blowjobs, For now anyway; Until you get bored with the next one. How does it feel, To denigrate a female? To render her not only unreal, But unworthy, and Unforgiven as well. Your words betray her. The lies — they shape her, bend her, break her. Until she knows not what she is, outside of you, her captor, her savior — the abuser.

How to apologize.

Hint: it involves acknowledging all the messed up shit you’ve done. — I am sorry for so many things and I have apologized a lot already. You have said, in the past, that I apologize too much. Maybe I was just hedging my bets, stockpiling in case of a meltdown, a situation just like this! Ha! (No? Not funny yet? Sorry.) It’s been a roller coaster and for that alone, I apologize. I’ve not been graceful in my journey with you. I am so very sorry. Whenever…

Let it Go —

A short story about setting your heart free. — Maryanne sat alone on the porch, watching big flakes of snow fall through the trees. She smiled at her luck — they would get one last snow to slow everything down before spring came. She was reminded of the time she and Michael had watched Frozen together. It wasn’t his…

Today is one of those days —

It’s cold outside. Snowing again. Winter has not come and gone as I had hoped and prayed, in my absence, my time away. Perhaps my belief in spring came too soon, too sudden for you. The cloudy sky and intermittent snow make me want to fall asleep in your arms…

He is who he is, today.

A short story excerpt by Elizabeth Meg. — Michael could not be still. He paced, picked up his phone, put it down, lit a cigar. He walked through the kitchen and into the dining room. Maryanne was on the phone with a friend, arranging to be picked up from his house. He didn’t care what she was doing…

If you want to be in love, be in love.

How would you act differently, if you were in love today? What would change for you, if next to you sat another human soul — one who helped you find peace, contentment and who filled your heart with joy? How would you behave today — if you woke up in love and just decided to remain that way? Would you say…

She swoons.

They fell in love at a hot dog stand. It was late spring, still a bit of a nip to the air. Michael told the story of how his mother would bring them to this very hot dog stand at the beginning of each summer season. She would get one…
