Peace in the Kingdom: No Conflicts Allowed
In my kingdom, things are peaceful here. With the exception of sudden outbursts of dogs barking at the squirrels, leaves, shadows or a neighbor walking by. No hatred exists. As long as you don’t count the one I feel toward barking. No wars are waged, unless all the bathrooms are occupied. There are no borders…

I can usually find ways to entertain myself to distract me from the boringness of this particularly inactive summer that I’ve been having. Sure, I’ve been doing stuff. Things.

There’s Junk in My Trunk
There’s junk in my trunk, Once or twice someone said. With a shrug I replied, “Yeah, I like my bread.” At first, I’ll admit, Those words, they did sting. Upon further thought, They meant not a thing. So what, I’m not thin, I have loads of curve. I’m not built like a boy, These curves I…

So, I wrote fiction today
This is an unedited, work in progress. It’s something I had been thinking about for awhile, particularly the opening line. It is going to be paranormal, of course. With some time travel. I’m not going to give away too much, particularly because it’s simply still just an idea that needs to be more…
