4/29/22 The Cave

 The Cave

A small path of stone leads to a beautiful cherry blossom tree. Its leaves are a beautiful bubblegum pink, contrasting perfectly against the rich brown bark. The stones peak slightly out of the lake surrounding the tree. A light shines through the rock ceiling above, bringing light to the cave and perfectly illuminating the tree. 

The reflection of the evergreens above mix with the deep blue of the water creating a rich teal in the still water. The stone path is illuminated by the pink of the tree, as if the tree beckons one to step on the stones and come closer to it.

Behind the tree, a gaping mouth of stone leads to a dark abyss deeper in the earth. With the small lake so beautiful, adorned by the cherry blossom, a fear comes when looking farther on. 

Carved by nature, intricate designs cover the rock wall. The edges of the rocks range from jagged sharp edges to sleek smooth surfaces. In some areas the rocks resemble roots, criss-crossing along the walls while flowing down like a still waterfall.

The cave is serene, hidden in the little hole; so perfect, untouched by human hands. If anyone were to find the cave they might never leave; not just from being stuck in this hole in the ground, but also from the desire to stay. No place would ever match the caves' beauty. However short their stay, would be worth it for those moments.

Alas the cave stays empty, with no life but the cherry blossom tree inside. The dark abyss remains unexplored, keeping its secrets from the world above.

4/18/22 The Hypno-Toilet

  The Hypno-Toilet You stare at the toilet water as it spins round and round. All sense of time is gone as you are mesmerized by the swirl. It is not very fast or harsh, just a steady flow of circling water. The soft swishing noises are so calming and all you can do is stand and stare. A loud buzzing noise, tries desperately to alarm you of the damage being caused to the septic tank. Slowly the tank fills up higher and higher with the wasted toilet water. You cannot hear the alarm, you are too entranced by the water in the bowl.  As the water level rises in the underground tank, the alarm continues to blare. The little pump works as hard as it can, but without your help, it is helpless. The thought of leaving the bathroom hasn’t even crossed your mind. All that flows through your brain is the soft swirling water.  The toilet water consumes your thoughts, nothing else matters to you anymore, only the water. You aren’t even sure why it is happening, the swirling water is nice yes

12/25/22 Paper Floor

  Paper Floor Boxes, bags, and wrapping paper were scattered across the floor. It was hard to step on just the carpet without getting some form of paper on your foot. It seemed like the floor was completely covered and the mess would be impossible to clean.  The next day the mess stayed, no one cleaning it up. The day after that and the day after that, nothing was done about it. The carpet was no more, it was just trampled wrapping paper and squished bags. Years passed, they forgot what the carpet even looked like in the living room. They had grown so accustomed to the paper, it just felt right now. They didn’t miss the carpet and didn’t mind the mess, and so the wrapping paper stayed, on the floor, forever. The End 12/25/22

9/22/22 We the Dreamers

  We the Dreamers We the dreamers, we the inventors, we the artists, we who wish for something more than what we already have, we create. Sometimes our creations are logical and possible. But other times we delve into the impossible, the dreams we wish would come true.  Anything can come from nothing if you dream hard enough. Everything already came from nothing, first there was nothing, and then there was everything. We continue on to make everything, even things that don’t exist.  The physical creations and the theoretical dreams alike, leave us striving for greatness. It makes us want to be better than we are, more than we can be, even if it is just a dream. Our brains are powerful, wonderful, amazing devices that let us learn and explore and create. To create, be original, discover or come up with something new, that is what we do. We the dreamers make the world a more interesting place. The End 9/22/22
