Macabre

Reminder

I need to re-read some of my PB writing from last year. Because I am back in the mindset “I never should have left.” And I know better. I know that not being in Tiny Town is better. But when y...

More of the Same (UPDATED)

Last night, I felt this gigantic sense of dread deep inside of me. This… darkness where I did not want to go to sleep because I knew I’d be waking up and coming to work. That is how (at least t...

SUPER SHORT

On Relationships and Sex: Last night, I had a very graphic and very detailed dream (as I so often do) where I cheated on my wife. But the truth is more worrying. I stick to it. My resolve on se...
