Bio
So for starters, I’m a nurse so I see some pretty... interesting things daily, BUT those interesting events are inspiring. They’ve managed to change my thinking, and my perspective. I’m grateful for what it’s added to my writing career.

Florida Man Believes His Workplace Is Haunted...
The time had come. Another wrestling tournament. I loved wrestling, I loved the kids, and I loved coaching, but I did not love the school. I especially disliked the gymnasium. I’ve disclosed, on a number of different occasions, why this gymnasium should not house any activities, much less, a wrestling tournament. However, no one took me seriously, which is why not only did I make the news, but the school did too. They say, all publicity is good, right? Well, I guess it depends on who you’re talking to.

Epstein Street
I live in an apartment off campus, but the campus is still close enough for me to walk to. It takes me less than five minutes. However, that means I always overestimate the amount of time I have to get to my first class. Today is no different. Class begins at 8:15am and what time do I leave? 8:15am. I shake my head at myself, grabbing my bag and my half-eaten hash brown.

Broken Records
Broken Records "Honey, I'm home!" Right, because we don't already know. Clearly, he thinks this is funny because he deposits that gut-derived laugh into the once blaring silence of the house: A house that everyone on the block is familiar with. But for the record, it's not funny. The front door flies open and streaks of light from the street-lamps hit his figure at angles that make him look like a swaying shadow in our doorway. Following, again, is that familiar low rumble of laughter that will always bring up memories of a childhood that no longer exists.

Therapist's Therapy Part II
“Scooch your bottom up just a bit," she says. I slide my ass to the end of the exam table. "That's perfect," she confirms. "First I'm going to just measure your cervix, which will cause some cramping, so just breath through it, but try your best not to move."

Therapist's Therapy (Part I)
I'm supposed to be seeing him every Wednesday at 4pm. "Consistency is vital," he'd say. Yet here I am, in his office waiting room, at noon on a Friday. Friday was better for me this week; I had things and appointments or whatever.
