Chasing Clouds
I wasn’t supposed to cry. It would always upset daddy when I cried. I couldn’t help it though, life seemed so lonely ever since we lost mama. She wasn’t supposed to leave us when she did. I remember her telling me that she was sick and that she would have to go be with God soon. I didn’t understand why she had to leave us. I was certain, that she would want to be with me more than God. What could he do, that I couldn’t? He didn’t seem like a good person.

I DON'T want a Dog!
When I first married my wife at the young age of twenty-one, I naively thought that I was somehow lightyears ahead of my peers in the department of responsibility. To me I was ready ready to take on marriage and understood the commitment to selfless sacrifice made for the benefit of your significant other. Back then, I would have said, that my emotional maturity was above average for my age. Though that might have been true at the time, what I failed to realize was just how selfish I really was.

Traveling Salesman
It is the night of the hallowed Hallow’s eve, and you are rested on your sofa in front of your television by the fireplace.

Tiger's Paw
Bangalore a jungle city. A city on the rise to most, but not to Kālā. To Kālā the city was blacker than the burnt hash hanging off the end of his cigarette. He drew in a long drag, that lit his face an ember orange. One...two...three...four; he let out an exhale of smokey haze. Kālā had a scorn chiseled into his face. It was as if he was waiting for an excuse to cause someone pain.

Obituary
It’s a man’s world in the arid sand swept city of San Antonio, Texas. The Alamo sits as the monument of all things dominantly masculine. The American landscape is scattered in the ideological patriarchy in the post war time of 1955. For a secretary at the San Antonio press, this world can seem like a inescapable board game, whose rules aren’t written in favor of the women playing the game.

The final push for a global socialism failed in the early decades of the 21st century. The elite establishment of politicians, bankers, and oligarchs crumbled underneath the rise of the decentralized people’s currency. Falsehood puppet parties faded as true democracies rose out of its ashes in the crypto driven free market economy. Out of the 10,000 cryptos made in the early years, three coins rose to the top amongst the people. Later known as the people’s currency. Doge, Ethereum, and Galactic credits dominated the new age financial infrastructure.

ALL ABOARD

She couldn’t help but wonder, if the third act would soon be coming to a close.

EXALTED NIGHT
