Are You Ready to Deceive Her for Me?
It turns out the answer was no.
Are You Ready to Deceive Her for Me
The room is dim.
Curtains drawn tight.
You lean forward.
Voice low, sharp.
She will ask questions.
She will not stop.
You must smile.
You must hold the lie.
I taste ash.
Words heavy on tongue.
Her face in my mind.
Her hands on mine.
You promise escape.
You promise freedom.
If I betray her.
If I tear her apart.
Cigarette smoke swirls.
Glass on the table.
Your eyes like stone.
Waiting for yes.
She gave me everything.
You give me nothing.
Yet I nod slowly.
Heart cracking.
The plan unfolds.
A letter, a call.
A meeting at dusk.
A trap in her path.
I walk to the door.
Shadows stretch.
I whisper forgive me.
And step outside.
Its over goodbye.

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

Damn - so close and yet so far. Well done Marie
What a turnaround or turnoff to a relationship. They don't always work out the way they should or we want them to.
A great description of a bad situation
