The Outing pt 2
After a while the girl who was waiting for her date got concerned when he didn’t return.

This frustratedContinue reading “The Outing pt 2”

Some scientists believe that the distances between galaxies can be attributed to The Big Bang, as it flung galaxies far and wide, in no discernible direction, to somehow fill up space. These scientists were wrong, and have been flogged in front of an audience ofContinue reading “There are those…”

The twinkle of stars in the night sky, the whisper of the trees, the grass giving my steps a softer place, all was normal, including Patrice, my soul mate, my love, my heart and soul. I swearContinue reading “If not for…”
Was I being selfish?
I wanted the same thing he did. We were a couple, going down the same path, building a future. I tolerated his whimsical side, in fact, it’s why I loved him. But we had to get practical. He had to get serious. That’s why I threw out his x-box.
