Relationship satire can be cathartic; when love hurts too much, just laugh.
Exactly What You Expect
The shattering of glass breaks me from my trance like state. My eyes go wide, my hair sticking up on the back of my neck. I quickly mute the TV, and I’m surprised to see I’ve almost made it through an entire season of a show without even realizing it. I mean, what else is Netflix good for other than to be background noise while I play on my phone aimlessly for hours?

Tale of Dunning Krueger Continued
Hello, let me introduce myself again. My name is Dunning Krueger and what I did not mention in my last article is that my wife is a Karen. No, her name is not Karen, she is a Karen. She will watch everything thing you do and judge you for it. She blows up over the tiniest things, but we are not here to talk about her but to talk about me.

Our Cold Paths
As a brief introduction, I just wanted to thank you for taking interest in my story. As this is my first work that I will have published here on Vocal. I also wanted to note that I thought considerately about which community to share this in, either poetry or horror and eventually decided that maybe it would be best in the 'humans' category figuratively speaking it is a sad satire of human emotion and the role that it plays in the strength of a relationship both with the self and in partnerships. I hope you enjoy and, once again, thank you.

The 3 Legged Turkey
THE 3 LEGGED TURKEY.. Getting close to Christmas . Christmas is coming and not a Turkey in site! (until now!) Driving in the outback of Australia and on a dusty dirt road I suddenly chanced on a large wild Bush Turkey right in the middle of the dirt road and not able to get off because of Thorny Blackberry bushes on both sides of the road.

How to Stop Feeling Like Crap
We all know that our looks are where most of our worth comes from right? And maybe recently you’ve just come to the conclusion that you mightn’t be even average looking because somebody told you that you were an ugly bitch. Look, it’s not your fault OK? You were born with deficient genes and that whole myth of ‘marry a rich man’ that your mother sold you instead of cultivating a rich sense of independence and pride in your own interests and work ethic is kinda fucked now isn’t it? If you had just realised that you were ugly sooner. Goddammit.

Tales from the Author: The Caterpillar Joke
Once upon a terribly dreary time in a blink-and-you-miss-it stretch of the Earth called Skyview, Kansas, there was a perfectly normal if mournfully forlorn fellow named Randy Allen Wilkes, and his was a broken heart: His beloved wife of ten years, Delores Lucille, had been killed in a twisted, burning wreck with a very drunk driver on her ironic way to work at a local pub called “Mug/Shots,” a truly lamentable occurrence which took place nearly seven years prior to the moment in which I find myself typing these words in and amidst the very wrong tale of one man’s woe in the aftermath of loss.
