You Beautiful Human

Beauty is something that all people view differently, and me?  Well, I’m staring right at the thing that I consider most beautiful.  You’re either reading this through a screen on a kindle or on the pages of a real book.  Yes, I can see you.  You beautiful human.  You beautiful, intelligent human.
What do I look like, you might ask?  Well, that all depends on your imagination.  Your version of beauty could be different from someone else's.  That’s what makes you special.  I can be whatever you want me to be.  Tall, short, skinny, fat.  Totally shredded or even a skinny thing.  Though I personally prefer tall and shredded.

How can I see you through the pages of a book?  When you read, your mind becomes one with the words on the page.  I see your mind and the beauty of it.  And through your mind, I see your physical appearance.  Ah, you beautiful creature.  But I know, that once you close the book, and your mind is taken out of the words, I won’t see you until you open it again.  My heart is breaking.  I love you, beautiful one.  Please, don’t leave me alone.

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...

Zag: Excerpt

 This is a section of a novel that I've been working on for a while. Hope you enjoy it! Past My parents had always been a bit ‘over the top’ as compared to normal adults.  While most kids would go on a field trip to the zoo, my field trip would be getting to work with the lion tamer.  Oh, did I not mention that my parents were trapeze artists with a traveling circus?  Yeah, I was raised in a circus; literally, not metaphorically. My dad was destined to be a trapeze artist from the time he was born.  I never met my grandmother to confirm my father’s claim, but whenever I saw him perform, I knew it to be true.  He was Alexander Damien Grey, one of the worlds most famous trapeze artists.  So when he met Maria Garcia Romero, the Spanish acrobat, it just made sense. My mom hadn’t always been with the circus the way my dad had.  As a matter of fact, when she was younger she wanted to be a chef.  It’s funny how fate turned the little ...

Nightmare

Taking a deep breath I laid my head on the pillow and closed my eyes.  Just as I had expected, the nightmares came. I’d only recently arrived here, to this small rural town on the Eastern side of the United States of America.  At least I thought it was the Eastern side.  Where I had lived before I didn’t know.  I just kind of appeared one day, wandering the streets.  People always asked where I came from and I was never able to give them an answer.  Some of the residents tried to be polite and asked me about my past in an attempt to befriend me.  Who were my parents?  As far as I knew I didn’t have any.  I simply was.  Did I have any siblings or a significant other?  If I didn’t remember any parents, I definitely had no clue about the answer to that question.  Was I planning on staying?  I didn’t know anyone in the whole world as far as I knew.  There wasn’t really anywhere else for me to go. This t...
