She looked up. She looked around. Grabbed her phone and declined yet another call. She shook her head in weary contemplation. Life is a maze. Maybe a hampster wheel. But more like those rat mazes in which the rat can’t find its way out. Always a barrier to […]
A long time ago, I had asked my sister why she was doing a particular action. She responded that she was doing so because she wanted peace. That answered always stayed with me. Percolating. Brewing. Running circles in my brain. Peace. One moment of peace is wonderful. A […]
Batman. Hero. Dark. Brooding. Has crossed some lines. Buffy. Her epitaph read “She saved the world. A lot.” She was good, a savior, but she had a darkness within her. Dexter, had a dark passenger within him. Well, he was an actual murderer. But he believed he followed […]
