Thunderstorms
When I was a young girl, about 5 years old, I used to be scared of thunderstorms, lighting, mostly thunder and the boom a few minutes after you see the lightning. I would run and hide in a closet or under my blankets until the storm went away. I couldn't sleep during the storms, I was always afraid that the lightning would go on our house and start a fire. It is possible for that to happen.

The Bull and The Road
This bull is a massive animal. Huge and muscle-bound, built to thrive on the violence of life. Big horns, piercing eyes, sinews and muscles that bulge from beneath tough, leathery skin, and a large wet nose, constantly sniffing out edibles. A huge frame, a hulking beast that can be slow, ponderous, almost docile one moment but thundering, angry, and fierce the next.

Beyond the Marigold
It was a chilly , windy day on the beach. The wind blew the dew because the dew leaked the leaves by accidentally falling onto the sidewalk. I rubbed the soft leaves of the trees as I slowly made my high the trail . “I take a deep breath,” I said aloud, gasping for breath as my dog sniffed the nearby tree. He lifts his leg to try to to his business. I inhale, exhale. I await him to end while the sparrow sits on a foreign branch peeking through the leaves from time to time.

Lamentation
The roar of the crowd is deafening, pulsing all around me. I cannot see them. These four crudely built wooden walls are all I can see, but I know they are out there; I can smell them, feel their hunger. I have never been here before, but I know it is not a good place. It is so hot in here, and it smells of fear and hopelessness and old blood. My eyes bulge. I desperately search for a way out; there is none. I am scared.
