My love affair with diabetes
My love affair with diabetes High Blood Sugar: I don’t know why we keep ended up together, but we do. Sometimes I call him late at night even when I know seeing him will lead to bad decisions. Other times I wake up in the middle of the night and I’m wrapped in his arms without even calling him to come over. He makes me feel safe, so I fall asleep quickly, but he’s demanding and needs constant reassurance he’s doing okay. He wakes me up in the middle of the night every 2 hours just to tell me he’s thinking about me and wants to know I still love him. He’s utterly exhausting. I tell myself I’m never talking again and can go weeks without seeing him and then out of nowhere he’s in my yard with a boombox and a dozen red roses begging me to let him inside and I do. He protects me from the other. I know when he is around she can’t find me.

Mark's Prey
The apartment was quiet except for the sound of water running into the tub. Mark sat on the edge of the tub watching steam roll off the water. The steam seemed to mix with the smoke of his cigarette. The smokey smell used to bother him, but since he had caught covid last year he hadn’t been able to smell it. He removed his boxers and threw them into the pile of dirty laundry he had needed to clean for weeks. He laid down in the tub and let the warm water engulf him. Water pooled over the side of the tub while he leaned back. He watched as it poured into the molding and floor of the bathroom. He had long since known he had lost his deposit on his apartment and didn’t care about the damage it was causing. His phone lit up. It sat precariously on the edge of the commode for easier access from his bath. He wiped his hands on the rugs his mother had bought and reached for his phone.
