The People Dis-pleaser
I thought I had the perfect family. I know, lots of people say that but I truly believed it until about three years ago. Since then, I have seen the judgemental faces behind the masks and the hidden agendas. The recognition of this has been a roller coaster ride and a terrifying one at that, one in which, I was the only rider. It seemed fun at first but then it got out of control; I got sick to my stomach and I couldn’t get off. The operator of this ride was now saying they had no way to stop it, so I was forced to jump into the great unknown.

Ode to Joy
The strangest things happen in the weirdest places. My first job out of college was working in the communications department at the world headquarters of, at that time (and now, too, for that matter), the fastest-growing denomination in the world. I'd been there a couple of years.

The Day I Learned That Evil Can Live In A Human Body
My mum often told me that my life story is much like watching a horror film. I can hear her words “I cannot believe this” now as I write. I suppose she is correct as I have played certain events from my past on repeat for two decades. Oh, how I wish my memories were only snippets of a scary movie, but the fact remains: all details are actual. My experience has taught me that evil does exist in our world, and sometimes it walks among us wearing human flesh.

The Role Smart Gadgets Play in Protecting Your Home
A smart home indicates your home has an intelligent home system that attaches with your devices to automate particular jobs and is typically remotely managed. You can manage a smart home system to enable your sprinklers, control the lighting and control every other electronic equipment in your house.

A Path Home For Bakerman
Sea. An everlasting body of water. Fresh. Salt on a microscopic level. Clear. Shallow light. Dark in the abyss. Fish and sunken ships. Oh the light houses adorning coasts up and down the sea spayed shore. Myths as old as time touch the lens of port holes to books and sailors alike to bask in the beauty that is the ravenous sweet harmonious maven of the sea. Indebted are the adventurous to the sweet song of waves crashing, slurping, shhhhh-ing in retreat below the seagull cacophony above the sea.

Cow Patty Win
"Are you ready?" Bobbie asked. This was their first date. Bobbie couldn't believe Lena had agreed to go out with him. He had asked her to go to the county fair with him. He figured the rides, games, animals, and food would be comfortable enough for the two to get to know each other better.

Near Death by Chocolate
Suzi lay quietly in the bed that had been given for her use. The darkness of the night was like a warm blanket on her soul. Unlike many small children who are afraid of the dark, Suzi loved night time. She missed Mama terribly, and at night, she could think about mama without interruption. Maybe she loved night time because when mama was still around, she would come home from work and they would make dinner together and then do the dishes together and then they would sit together on the porch swing and watch the night.
