The Fresh Grave
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was the only light to be seen for miles and was a beacon for two teen runaways. Robbie and Amanda had left their homes immediately after graduating with the Class of 1998, to start a life together away from the oppressive surroundings of their childhood. Their high school romance, unwavering in intensity, was the impetus throwing them forward into a future together. Their determination to be together forever blocked common sense and logic, and despite the woeful lectures by their parents, they remained fasted to each other in perpetuity.

Doe, Raymond and Me
One day, over two years ago, a strange creature appeared in our back yard. A little white deer peeked her head around a tree, like a shy preschooler searching for a playmate.

Coming Back from Guillen Barre
Nearly a year ago, I began a relationship with Guillen Barre. Guillen Barre is not some handsome Frenchman, but a debilitating neurological illness that happens to 1 in 100,000 people. It is an immune reaction, usually post viral, or immunization, in which your body mistakes your nerve cells for a virus and subsequently sets out to destroy them. Picture the old video game where the ships are destroying aliens little by little until they are obliterated. My nerves were being obliterated little by little by my over active immune system.
