Prescription
“Think of it as a prescription.”
Nathan narrowed his eyes, though couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth curving up into a smile. “You a pharmacist or something now?”
Michael nodded at the teapot again, until Nathan took the hint.
“Fine.”
“If people have lived for centuries – maybe millennia – with only the herbal properties of plants to heal and treat all their ailments, then there’s no reason you can’t benefit from this tea.”
“Anything else you’re prescribing me?” Nathan asked, ...

Cursed
There is no curse like the dawn of day
And its inevitability of starting over again
To taunt that he could never stay.
Even these clouds ridicule. First the grey;
Thin, wispy things promising release, yet come morning, won’t bring me rain—
There is no curse like the dawn of day—
Then, those tinted pink and yellow by ray
Serve only to highlight that to hope, and to love was done in vain,
To taunt that he could never stay.
Why should I rise when he has gone away

Navy vet Aiden Cadotte might just be firefighter Beto Cepeda’s undoing. Beto thought he had left him in the past, both on the joint base they operated from in Iraq and in the parts of himself Beto has tried to deny. But when Aiden shows up while Beto is on a call with his crew, Beto is transported back to a time when he wanted things from Aiden he could never let himself have. What is stopping him from having those things now?
Beto is. Because despite Aiden’s unwavering patience, ...

Dexter’s Pinterest!
Yes, because I still want to transport myself to the fictional town of Mallowham from my Raife and Dexter series, here I am immersing myself in my characters some more. I figured, Pinterest has become one of my favourite places to play when I can’t sleep (which is often), where I have boards for all of my books, some of my stories, and some other less-well curated things. So why not give Dexter his very own Pinterest board? Since he is the...

The Clamps
In a post-Apocalyptic London exists a Workhouse for all of those who have nowhere else to go, where services are exchanged for shelter. There’s nowhere safer: even the beds have their own special form of security. Ask the children. They have a story to tell.
It was the kind of story that kept you pinned down in terror and the younger children believed in full fear, while the older boasted of their bravado and pretended they had no fear at all.
The beds strewn with blood and tell-ta...

Haiku’s: Blessings
Peace be to you who
holds what others only dream
of in your own heart
***
Cherish your laughter
for it is the foundation
of what is to live
***
Kindness is more wise
than any teachings or words
meant to educate
***
Hope holds together
All of us, from the smallest
to the vastest worlds
***
Soul is not something
separate from existing,
just the light that guides
***
Dance, and you will lift
those beyond lifting, raise a
smile an...
