6/20/22 Ocean Rider

 Ocean Rider

Riding the waters, no board, nothing but himself, he majestically glided along the ocean's surface. His feet gently brushed through the water, causing small splashes around his ankles. With both arms back and chest pushed out, he commanded the wind behind him, propelling him forward. 

He was like a statue, so still as he quickly surfed on top of the water. Being so far out in the ocean he had no worries of being seen, being deemed strange. He could simply be himself, unique with his power, but free to just be. 

He loved the feeling of the wind mixed with the ocean mist as he traveled the seas. Occasionally he would pass by a boat. He would see the faces staring at him, confused, but he would just continue on as if they weren’t there. No one ever seemed to care for more than a few seconds, they would deem it an illusion of the ocean.

Being an ocean rider was so much fun for him. With so much water covering the earth, he never ran out of places to go. He did not know if he was one of a kind or if there were others. The ocean was so large, the chances of finding another like himself were slim.

He did not know why he had this power or what it was for. Part of him hoped it was not meant for anything other than to travel the seas with ease. But still a part of him reasoned there must be a purpose. If there was such a purpose he had yet to find it. For now, he will relish in his gift, enjoying the freedom of gliding over the ocean's surface whenever he pleases.

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
