Cheeeeze!

A gigantic smile was on my face, when my mother told me that my novel she had ordered had arrived. She even took a picture with it for me. Then I asked her, if she would take one that I could post on social media without her killing me! (Just saying. I want to live past 34 years old. ha)
My mother has been my inspiration, hero and biggest advocate since day one of life. She keeps me motivated, when I feel like giving up on my dreams. I am truly blessed!!!

The sun is shining in good ole’ Las Vegas. The dry ass air is on full blast as well. Any moisture in one’s body is quickly removed by Mother Nature (she’s one beast). I did survive my errands so that has to mean something, right? Although, I left my energy drink (venom) in the cup holder, unopened while I ran into K-Mart. I wasn’t in there that long, but you’d be happy to know that hot coffee has nothing on hot Venom. (ha) It wasn’t like ‘sue McDonald’s hot, but it was definitely enough to make me think twice about picking up the can twice.
Okay, let me tell you about my experience of K-Mart (first one I’ve been to here in LV). First person I encountered outside by the shopping carts, blew passed me as if I was invisible. I damn near grabbed her by her hair and was going to scold her like her mother should have when she was little. But I refrained. Then inside, the aisles were super narrow. The cart and my ass/hips had to go around a lot. It was like an obstacle course. Then I had to go around people, who didn’t understand the phrase, ‘excuse me’. (Sometimes I wish my mother hadn’t taught me manners!!!! Grrrr! Thanks, mom!

Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho!
…It’s off to a job assessment I go! I haven’t decided which of the 7 dwarfs’ personalities I have going into this today.
1.Sneezy- Let’s hope not. That will distract the other testers, myself and be disgusting.
2.Sleepy- I have enough sleep problems. Let’s try to avoid this one!
3.Dopey- Hmmm…this one is a big NOPE!
4.Doc- Well, he has problems speaking, but thankfully the assessment doesn’t involve me speaking, so this dwarf is so far at the top of our ‘please, be this one!” list.
5.Happy- This one is okay…I guess. I’m not one to spread glitter, rainbows and kittens to the world, but it may help on the assessment. We’ll keep this one off to the side.
6.Bashful- Definitely, don’t want this personality. I don’t need to freeze, when the time comes.
7.Grumpy- I’m this one daily, so I’m going to try to not be this one, today. We will see how long that lasts. (Ba-hum-bug!)
Happy Wednesday, Everyone!
Happy Reading!

P.S. Only going to do a normal job, until I hit it big in the book world! (Smiles)

Warning! Gruesome Content Within This Teaser from My Novel!!!!!!! Read at own risk
“Armistice, how about you tell us what battle plan you would pursue, since you are so quick to rebut Harrison’s battle plan,” Commander Trials said. Everyone’s head turned.
Commander Trials was very similar to Commander Taylor. He was tall and muscular. His skin was a shade lighter than mine. He wore his black hair short. His eyes I was never able to see up close, but they appeared hazel from a distance. And anytime he was mad a vein in his neck became visible.
“Sir, I just feel that his battle plan to attack by land is… premature.” The room filled with laughter.
“How so?” Commander Trials asked leaning against the desk.
“The York Canton is known for their skill at land attacks, but also known for their lack of success on the water. That is why an amphibious attack is more appropriate, sir.”
“I see,” Commander Trials nodded his head. “Well done, Armistice. Maybe females have a brain after all.” The room filled with laughter at my expense. Commander Trials began teaching once more. The doors opened and War Councilman Tibbot entered the room. He whispered something in Commander Trials’ ear and they both turned to me.
“Armistice, come with me,” War Councilman Tibbot said.
“Yes, sir.” I stood and gathered my things. I followed him out of the room and down the hall in silence. He took me to the simulator. I hadn’t been in a simulator before. I had only heard rumors as to what it was, but everyone who spoke of it said it was excruciating. It was like being tortured mentally.
“You know what this is?”
“Vaguely, sir.” He nodded his head and faced me.
“This machine simulates being tortured. We will give you a piece of information and then test to see how long you can withstand keeping this information from the machine.” My heart began to pound. I glanced in the window at the machine. It seemed like just a plain white chair that was cushioned and in a recline position, but now I knew that it was so much more. “Do you understand?”
“Yes, sir.” He handed me an envelope and I opened it. Inside was ‘Mission Bravo execute at 2200 hrs.’ I put the paper back in the envelope and gave it to War Councilman Tibbot.
“Understand?”
“Yes, sir.” He opened the door and took my belongings from me.
“Good luck,” he said with a smirk. I said nothing more. I walked through the door and he shut it behind me. I walked further into the room towards the chair. I was terrified of what this machine would do to me. I could easily run out of the room, but then what? Where would I go? My father would not let me return home and the Lynxian would shun me for running away from their beloved Academy.
I took a deep breath and sat in the chair. Slowly I leaned back and positioned myself comfortably in the chair. The lights turned off and my heart was once again racing. I heard a hum on both sides of my head and a blue light pulsed from dim to bright. Was this the torture everyone spoke of?
I heard a door open, the shuffling of feet. Something heavy was pulled into the room, and then the door slammed again. Right then the lights in the room came back on. Across from me was a tall pale man with a bald head and a beard. It was unusual to see a man with facial hair. He was standing in front of a table that had a variety of weapons and tools laid out. In his right hand was a gun.
“What information were you told?”
“Nothing,” I said. He smirked and opened the door. He bent down, picked up a white puppy, and closed the door softly. I always had a weakness for animals.
“What information were you given?” He said again, more sternly now.
“Nothing.” He shot the puppy and blood splattered. “No!” He laughed as he dropped the puppy to the ground. He set the gun down. I tried to jump out of the chair and attack him, but I was strapped down. “You are sick!”
“So I’ve been told,” he grabbed a knife. “What information were you given?”
“Nothing,” I screamed at him. He opened the door and an elderly man was standing there. “No. No. No.” I knew what would happen next if I did not give the information. I couldn’t let another life end. A tear slipped down my face.
“What information were you given?” The elderly man looked at me with pleading eyes.
“Nothing,” I whispered as the man sliced the elderly man’s throat and his limp body slumped to the ground. I tried to turn my head from the scene, but it wouldn’t move. I watched as the blood gushed from the elderly man’s throat and he fell to the ground on top of the puppy’s corpse. I could feel cool spots on my arm where his blood had landed.
“What information were you given?” He asked setting the knife down and grabbing a hacking tool.
“Nothing.” My voice was no longer recognizable. It was hushed and ragged, terror coursing through it. My mind seemed to be straining against my skull at the thought of what could possibly come next. He opened the door and a priest was ushered in. I shook my head. “No. Please.”
“What information were you given?” I shook my head, as tears poured down my face.
“Tell him, child.” The man of the cloth pleaded softly.
“I can’t. I’m so sorry,” I said with my eyes closed. My eyes opened.
“What information were you given,” the torturer asked, his voice becoming eerily quiet.
“Nothing.” He lifted his arm as high as it could go and slammed it down on the clergyman. The man screamed out in pain as his arm fell to the ground.
“What information were you given,” the torturer shouted.
“Nothing!” He began hacking away at the man in cloth. I didn’t bother closing my eyes. I knew it wouldn’t change anything. Finally, the torturer was done and the priest was laid on top of the puppy and elderly man.
“Shall we continue?”
“Just kill me already,” I spat. He quickly looked at me.
“What did you just say?”
“Just kill me already! I’m not telling you shit!”
“No, you are going to do it.” He grabbed the gun and walked over to me. “You are going to end your life.”
“No!” I said. Suicide was against the Nevan belief. Suicide was a damnation of the soul.
“Do it or I will continue.” He adjusted the straps to where my elbow was bent and hand up towards my head. He placed the gun in my hand. I once again tried to move it but it wouldn’t budge. The door opened and a girl no older than three was standing there. “Do it, and I shall spare her.”
“I can’t.” Tears were streaking down my face. He laughed.
“Because of the Nevan belief of the dishonor in suicide.”
“Yes,” I whispered. He strode toward the little girl. “Wait!” He turned towards me. “Do you give your word?” His eye brow rose.
“Do I give my word?”
“That you will not harm the child.”
“I give my word.” The door closed and opened again. The little girl was no longer standing there. “Should I call her back?” He said with a grin. I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger.

OMG! I just applied for a job and had to answer 180 questions…(drum roll)…and it was TIMED!!!! Wow! It isn’t even an executive job! After answering 180 questions (which included math equations and statistics), they should hire right then and there! Ugh! That was ridiculous.
In case, I got the job, “Hello, employer. I enjoyed the test! Thank you for hiring me!”

A short one that I enjoyed writing. It makes me giggle. (Yes. I am a nerd)
A Page Turning Crush
I waited patiently for her arrival. It seemed like an eternity since I had seen her last. Truth be told it had only been a few hours. The time between seeing her was tormenting. I needed to see her sweet smile, as she looked at me. Her mesmerizing eyes staring over me. She was a heavenly sight.
The clock told me that she would be here shortly. She was never late. She picked me up every day at the same time. She always said she would only be with me for only an hour and no more; yet, every day she stayed with me until she fell asleep and I rested against her smooth skin. She slept so peacefully.
The sun was rising, which brought sadness throughout me. She would wake, momentarily. She stirred, as her eyes opened, and her hand laid on me. I desired for her touch. She was perfect in every way.
Before I knew it, she had her hand firmly against me. Her legs swung out of bed and she rested on the edge. She looked at me one last time and gave me a smile. “I’ll be back.” She chuckled as she set me on her nightstand and began her day.

Round of Applause, Please
Who has two thumbs & slipped on the pool step and ended up hitting her back on the step below it? Yep! You guess it! This girl. (OUCH) I sucked it up though and swam with the boys. I am in so much pain right now. Sucks being old and not being able to bounce back after injuring yourself. (BOO!)
Happy Reading & Watch Your Step It’s a Doozy!
