Re-posted From August, 2020. As a child, my mother [single parent] implied that all things were possible.

Between now and then, you will set … Continue reading My Thoughts This Morning [Re-Posted From October, 2020]
Like so many other short stories I post here, this may sound too strange to be real. I guarantee this event happened. In fact, it's only rated a five or six on my wierdshitometer! For my life, it was just another day. At the time, I was living in Aurora, Colorado. Aurora in a rather … Continue reading The Journals [Did Someone Order a Cellphone?]
I asked the Universe for something. No, this doesn't have anything to do with anything dark or evil. Although I'm not going to tell you what I asked for. The details of that experience are sensitive.
