Part I—The Prisoner
The prisoner shook the door of solitary cell. The noise echoed only a short way down the hall to either side.
“Hello!?” The word rang out, traveling no further than the sounds of the shaking door. “Guards? Anyone?” The prisoner pleaded for a reply, for a voice, [...]

After weeks of it invading every area of my life, my mind has snapped. I now, wholeheartedly embrace the rain. The rain is my new best friend. Overcoming barriers that I had previously established, the rain has invaded my personal space and garnered my affection. In Psychology class I learned that [...]

Apparently ’spring’ is synonymous with ‘rain’. We’ve had nothing but for over a week and are looking at more of the same for the next week or so.
I’ve had a little writing spree, so I should have a new short story to publish by the end of this week or the beginning of next. [...]

Shadowmancer by G.P. Taylor is a horrendous book. While his subject matter certainly had potential, the man is a horrible writer. Taylor rushes through the book when the background and subject matter require more detail and explanation. He has great potential in the book for some excellent descriptive writing, but ruins it [...]

I’m not a very haunted person. Nowadays almost nothing scares me. As a child I had a few frightening experiences, but I don’t think I can honestly say I have “haunting” memories.

* Title needs to move out from overlapping the typewriter. Needs to shift to the left.–DONE
* Menu [...]

ToDo:

Comments theme - Half-way there
Spam Karma - DONE

Custom Smileys - DONE
Well, I must say. 1.5.1 is a VAST improvement over 1.2.2 [...]

My mother and I are friends. She was young when she had me, too young to have a child really. When you are sixteen you should be enjoying high school…or at least trying not to make too many social blunders, depending on what type personality you have.
We went out for Mother’s Day last [...]

Now that sounds like a good name for a poem! I even have the perfect way I could use it…(enough thinking while typing).
Since finals have been over I have
1) Started a new, full-time job still in registration at the hospital. I’m currently training in the Emergency Department, which is rather fun. Every [...]
