Time to Keep the Gun
A man finds a way to defend himself.
“Yes, that sounds great. Okay. Thanks, again.” He tapped off the phone. He thrusted his black hands in the air. He smiled. He then returned to the phone.
“Babe, I’ve got the loan. I’m going to build up my AI firm. We’re going to be multi-billionaires!”
Then the muzzle pressed to his cheek. He moved slowly and head butted his would-be assailant. The one-time threat fell to the ground. Beckley Stroum switched the weapon on him. He removed his mask revealing white man.
“I’m going to keep your gun. You’re going to stand there until the cops come.”
“I understand.”

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 The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.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.
