Taboo

The ‘Black Dog’
We had reached Saturday am , failing to take my anti depressants on the evening before I woke with a killer headache and felt as rough as a badgers backside. I climbed over a sleeping baby a coffee table barricade and wall of pillows to follow my morning ritual of a black coffee and a roll up in the garden to start my day.

Top 5 Countries With the Highest Rape Crime in 2024
Rape is a particularly complex crime to analyse. In several parts of the world, it is very rarely reported. Women in some countries are much less likely to have their complaint recorded, due to the extreme social stigma cast on women who have been raped, or subjected to violence or the fear of being disowned by their families.

Echoes of the Past. Content Warning.
In the heart of Willowbrook, where the trees whispered secrets and the wind carried the echoes of forgotten tales, there lay a forest—Willowbrook Woods—a place where the boundary between the living and the dead blurred into nothingness.

"Echoes of Love: Navigating Turbulent Paths and Unspoken Truths"
The story begins on a serene Sunday morning eight years ago, within the walls of a grand church adorned with stained glass windows and echoing hymns. It was a congregation bustling with life, diverse in its assembly yet unified in spirit. As I took my seat amidst the rows of polished wooden pews, little did I know that this seemingly ordinary day would mark the beginning of a journey filled with love, complexities, and unforeseen twists of fate.

What People Don't See. Content Warning.
I recently submitted a rather distasteful story to the manuscripts section of a writer’s site, similar to Medium, planning to expand the story to book length. A memoir of pain and other mistakes. Various responses were received; some puzzled, some troubled, and others understood the message behind the story, which was authentic and recalled vividly in the harshest of terms.

As I Embark on a Mystery
As I embark on mystery I untagle every piece of truth like ribbon or tape all around me. One nice morning I was at the beach taking photos of the sunrise, and a handsome younger man approached me. We started taking photos and talking about the colorful, astonishing, and beautiful sunrise. Then we took a small walk getting to know each other, and eventually becoming what is still unknown.

Back In The Game
Hello All!! Yesterday, I became $170 richer than I have been these past several weeks. Put to the backburner are constant survey rejections and completions towards tedious $5 gains (for gas, and, for a far more debatable expense, in food), borrowing money once more in desperation when available survey and sometimes internet resources were held staunchly out of grasp, and, to the positive, a healthy territory of being unable to indulge in those things which seek to swallow my senses and draw them to lack and regret.
