The Creator’s Block
I. Had. Nothing. I changed brush sizes. Stepped to the side to view my unfinished painting from another angle, praying to myself for inspiration. Still. Nothing. It had been a millennia since I was motivated to create something. Still not motivated. A millennia since I’d had the confidence to continue my work. Confidence, missing. I… — read more

Heads Up Display
He blinked rapidly trying to rid his irritated left eye of the rapidly expanding red meter. His therapist didn’t believe him. Nobody ever does. He regretted even making the appointment.

Fleeting Tale (Vol. 2… a.k.a. mandatory weekly update volume whatever).
He found nothing about life funny. Or beautiful. Or remotely enjoyable. He sank lower in his seat. Well, there was his wife, and his many unpublished writings. That’s Beautiful. Enjoyable. My writings suck. “Then you have negative fourteen to the…” His algebra professor droned while slowly fading out of existence. Can’t be me anymore. Must… — read more

Fleeting tale (Unedited Short vol 1)
He stood from his desk and walked to the window. It was sunny, but deceptively cold. His toes were cryogenically frozen in his shoes- and will outlast him long after his death.
