Classwork and Homework. Home… work?

I don’t support our cram-and-puke education system. Never have, never will. In fact, I almost did not want to send my son to school, instead wanted him to learn his ABCs, give him the education he needed and learn things as he went by – without the aid of textbooks. Yes, I am notorious for […]

Of The Empaths – Final Part

Part 1 here Part 2 here I push through the crowd inside the tent and search for Q. I had dropped my Rod at the entrance – it has not yet been burned. I find her in conversation with V in a corner. She is laughing. This angers me even more. I march towards her. V has noticed […]

Barters and Back Scratchers

**Rant alert** Probably not the best way to end the year, but what would you rather have, that I rant at the end of the year or the beginning of one? Either way, this was gonna come pouring out like acid one day or another. Ok, maybe acid was a little harsh. There is a lot […]

Anticipation

Of The Empaths – Part 2

Read Part 1 here I have never had to train a recruit before. I have been with the group for close to a year. But training someone was never one of my duties. It dawned on me suddenly that I did not have any duties. I was being trained for – I am not sure any […]

Of The Empaths – Part 1

This time our group is lucky. Right in the middle of the forest was a large clearing. Surprisingly large. The tent had already been pitched. It is dusk, and time for our revelries. Our leader, Q, has deemed this a safe spot – safe for music. My brother, V, he’s told me there’s going to be a […]

Monthly Delivery – A #200WT Story

The old man circled the date on the calendar. The preceding dates were crossed out. “Today!” he grunted. His voice had the gravelly quality of one rarely used. He set down the pen, and carried his heavy frame laboriously towards the low-ceilinged kitchen, the wooden boards of the cabin creaking under his boots. Just as […]

From The Ruins

The spot. Everyone has one. Unnoticed, but special. Never thought of, but never forgotten. That spot in the corner of your city, a building, or a park, quiet, ordinary, unimportant to all eyes, even yours. Until… You will cross that spot some day, when life has forced you to change the lanes you take. You […]

The Fear Of Being Underwhelmed

–Some extremely emotional/sad content ahead. This is a post I composed three months ago. I never thought it would see the light of day because I could not frame my thoughts as coherent sentences. My aim in publishing this today, I guess, is to examine my own thoughts in an attempt to understand them. Pushing the Publish […]

The Mandatory Birthday Post – That I Almost Forgot To Share

Every year, I share a post on my birthday in which I analyze all the times I goofed up that year and list down more ways in which to goof up the coming year. I almost forgot to write one this time. Maybe because I did not goof up at all this year. Ha-ha! Hahahahha! Ok, moving […]
