“Zombies are not just fictional creatures that devour the flesh of the living. They also include those who follow the words of others without thinking for themselves. This world is falling apart. I don’t think anyone can disagree with that. People live in their twenty-mile-radius realities and don’t notice the world happening around them, until it finally breaks down their front door.”
― The Weathering, Dawn of the Apocalypse

“As the night air started to creep in, he lifted her in his arms and walked the back way to their home on campus. He spent the evening digging her grave, not even caring who came his way. He didn’t care whether he lived or died, now that he had lost his only love. Mike glanced into her face one more time, and then covered her with dirt. “We bury our own. We take care of the ones we love.” He spoke softly, then placed a flower on her grave and made his way back to their dorm room.”

“A couple hours went by, and the storm began to turn back to the sea. The dark clouds rolled away, leaving white, fluffy ones in their place. We were safe, and the rock in the distance was still there. We stepped out of the car and walked over to the rock, noticing the families of seals were back again. The seals were strong and ready to make it through any storm that would fall their way. My parents’ love was still there; that is what love means. I envy that love, and I hoped to find it someday... and I did.”

“Lots of people hate gay people.
You can tell who they are because they start sentences with, "It's not like I hate gay people.”

Very cool. I was reading your profile. Reading is amazing. I do have an 80 page rule however. If I can't get into the book by page 80 I put it down. Christine wrote: "Your welcome and I'm a teacher's helper and i love reading books"

Hi Joseph! Thanks for the friend invite. :)
I am a member of a gay book discussion group in New York City. In our meeting tonight we discussed "Cry To Heaven" by Anne Rice. Everybody who attended liked the book. If you send me a copy, and I like your book, I will recommend it for the group to read it.David Friedman
