Time

10 minutes….

Time is a strange thing.  It can change and twist and destroy.

9 minutes….

It ticks away slowly and once it is gone, it can never come back.

8 minutes….

Many people don’t see time as precious.

7 minutes….

But what they don’t realize is that once their time has run out, there is no getting it back.

6 minutes….

Time cannot be reversed.  Time cannot be regained.

5 minutes….

Time is a bottomless pit.  You will continue falling for eternity, never able to go back, and never ending.

4 minutes….

Time continues to tick.

3 minutes….

Tick….tock….tick….tock.

2 minutes….

Life is short.  Tick….tock.

1 minute….


Times up

Never Alone

I pasted on my smile and changed my voice to happy and enthused.  Just a normal day, trying to keep it together.  The worst was, I didn’t even know why I felt like I was falling apart.  I had an amazing family who loved me no matter what and friends who I knew would always be there for me; my true friends, the fake ones had been rooted out a long time ago.  I had a fantastic support system and a very good life.  So why did I feel the need to fake smile?  Why couldn’t my happy “hello” be genuinely happy?  It felt almost selfish and ungrateful to be feeling this way when there were so many amazing people pouring themselves into me. Work was never the same two days in a row.  Being a barista wasn’t ever consistent, but that’s how I liked it.  I loved my customers, both the old and the new.  I loved making different drinks and smiling to myself as I put together how each customer's drink showed me a part of their personality.  The e...

Wings

What are you most afraid of?  Well, whatever it is, I’ve learned that your fear will never outweigh your strength.  I was always afraid of what others thought of me.  By letting my fears conquer me, I tied down my own wings.  I prevented myself from being who I was truly meant to be because I wanted the approval of others and was too scared to try new things for fear of looking stupid. My name is Kaelyn and this is how I flew. I had turned down an invitation to go dancing with some friends….again.  You’d think that by now, my friends would have just given up asking me to do things since I always said no.  I honestly don’t know how I even had friends. I rounded a corner and ran straight into an older gentleman.  “Oh I am so sorry!” I said frantically.  Don’t text and walk people, it’s really not a good idea. “Don’t worry about it.” The older man replied kindly, offering a polite smile.  There was something different about thi...

Frigus Cor

Present…. I often wondered how something so evil, could be so beautiful at the same time.  Then I realized that it is because the evil is so ugly, but the thing itself is breathtaking. My name is Amare, and this is the story of how I became what I am today.  Am I a monster?  Well, I will leave that for you to decide.  A very wise person once asked me “Does war make monsters, or do monsters make war?” A long time ago I would have said that monsters make war and the heroes fight against it.  But that was a very, very long time ago.  Almost before the beginning of time.  I have now lived three thousand years on this earth, and have learned a great many things.  Things about love.  Things about death. Past…. “Lady Amare, the warrior, Bellum, has regrouped his army.” My second in command told me as he entered through the flaps of my tent. “He just never gives up does he.” I phrased it as statement instead of a question and C...
