Marine Corps Stories: My Efforts
A corporal recounts his injury.
My wounds stemmed from the blast. Corporal Leminsin moved. I saw the muzzle flash. I heard the deafening sound of the IED. I lost my leg. I nearly lost my mind. But I’m still serving. I’m at a desk. But I’m still wearing the uniform in the Corps. I look at my bionic leg and am proud that I saved Leminsin’s life. I was awarded the Navy Cross for my efforts, and as a fellow corporal, it felt right.
I am selfish. I guarded my battle buddy. That’s all I had to do. So I did it. That is all.

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.

Corona Ruined My Life
Corona Ruined My Life. True Story I published this a while ago on here. This is my repost. I had never publicly written anything and submitted it. There it was, my thoughts and feelings on my iPad screen. I felt like a proper writer, yes, me.
