12/19/22 Snow in the Street Lights

 Snow in the Street Lights

She walked down the street of the town. It was all so new to her, having just moved from across the country. Snow was falling all around, she had never really seen snow, not like this. It was so thick and there was so much of it.

As she walked she saw a street lamp illuminating the falling snow. The sight was so beautiful at night. All the little snowflakes glowed as they passed the yellow-orangish light. She couldn’t stop looking at it, it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Before she’d seen photographs of this kind of thing, but never thought she’d witness it in person.

She went towards the street lamp, staring at the snow falling past the light. Her eyes grew dry and snowflakes hit them, but she didn’t care, she never wanted to look away. So there she stood, staring wide eyed at the beautiful scene in front of her.

The snow began to build on her eyes, frosting them over like ice. No matter how uncomfortable she wouldn’t close her eyes. More snow piled over them, obstructing her view, and yet she stared, until the last moment.

The ice on her eyes caused her to go blind, but she didn’t care. Having witnessed the snow in the street lights, she didn’t need to see anything else ever again.

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
