Have You Seen This Man?
Have you seen this man? It’s near certain he’s seen you. It’s said he visits everyone eventually. Maybe only a few times, maybe so often he thinks of you as an old friend, though he knows you don’t view him as such. Rest assured, in the end you will see this man and he will see you straight back in return.

Choose your path wisely
In the clutches of a nightshift, a gravedigger speared a shovel into partially dug soil. His hands abandoned the shovel and rested onto his waistline, as he took a quick breather. His eyes walked a thin line of nighttime, scanning over the wealthiest place on planet earth. A place full of wonderful dreams that were buried unaccomplished, marvelous talents worth billions and billions of dollars, wasted by the death of their lazy owners—six-feet-beneath the earth, all those magnificent gifts rests with a scowl.

Money Jar
Jada pushed back her dark curls as she walked home through the infamous humidity of the south, only stuttering her steps when her mobile buzzed. “Miss you. Hope this week at the new school is better. Wish we could call but phone plans! Dad.” She stroked the screen before returning the phone to her pocket. They were out of minutes. For the first time in her life Jada had to adhere to a budget.

The Man in the Mirror
Man in the Mirror Every day starts the same way. The 7:30 alarm blares its infuriating wake-up call. I hit the snooze button at least three times. When I finally stumble out of bed, I spend as much as a half-hour sitting on the toilet using that time to try and wake up. I read a few more pages in whatever novel I am currently slogging my way through as my body accepts its fate for the day. I follow this with a quick shave, teeth brushing, and then a shower. A quick bite to eat, and then I’m off to work. Most days during this routine, I find myself staring at my own reflection, checking for new wrinkles or grey hairs, or any signs that I'm growing older or changing. In the past few days though, it seems I have been seeing things, things that can’t honestly be happening. For instance, yesterday I saw my reflection wink at me. Sometimes I see myself grinning and making faces back at me, though I'm pretty sure I did nothing of the sort.
