Mary wept. Twenty minutes later, she began waking Frank, Ned and Bianca, filled cereal bowls, started the wash, found stamps for the piles of bills and opened the drapes to another dreary 6 a.m.
Moved
When I felt most deeply moved by the Holy Spirit my loved ones told me that was not where God wanted me. They were right: He doesn’t exist.
completely hopeless ambition
I want to be more mysterious.
(Why did i say that ?)
A Fire Blazes from the Ashes
I knew from the beginning I would be wed to my Lord, though I fought my father’s decision bitterly, having privately accepted my lot to rule my family’s lower household. Father longed to raise our name from ashes into greatness, however, so he offered me up to my Lord — a widowed, aging weasel, who had no heir to his name, his stature or his wealth — never guessing such dealings might breed a bitter, vindictive heart in his precious daughter.

Banker
Driving home, I made up the most incredibly cool rap song.
Unfortunately there’s no paper and pens in the car so I guess I’ll just have to stay being a banker.
Friends
I know we just met but let me just say straight up that I think we’ll make awesome online friends.
We’ll have to stop seeing each other in real life of course.
Taught
We have taught each other so much in the time we’ve spent together.
You’ve taught me about love and hope and justice and I’ve taught you about lentils and parachute pants and how to fold little paper dogs out of any spare scrap you find.
All Time is Not Equal
Seeing her husband exit the mens room while she still waited online, Madeline turned to the woman behind her and commented, “I know why women live 7 years longer than men.
“It’s comp time for ladies room lines.”
Clouds
I shall turn on the hot water tap.
And there shall be clouds.
Trouble coming
As the pieces rolled down the assembly lines I think I saw the construction robots pause just a little.
If they understand they are building ConstructorBotV2.5 then I think we’ve got trouble coming.
Quantum
Quantum physics tells us that two particles can entangle and then act as one, miles apart, simultaneously.
I wish other stuff was Quantum.
Author
After all my years in poverty I decided to get real and expose myself.
Now I’m rich, shivering and cold and wishing I could take it all back.
A Few Good Men
What was I thinking about when I decided to join this elite unit that defies the odds, goes on secret, dangerous missions behind enemy lines after jumping out of an airplane at 30,000 feet?
Semper Fi
Thrill of the Chase
When I was a child, hide-and-seek was my favourite game: I relished the thrill of being chased, and evading capture.
I killed him to keep that thrill alive, now the police are “it.”
Soluable
A fact: people are soluble in water.
Eventually.
Puppet
You can be a puppet with strings or a puppet with a hand up your ass.
Things they never tell you about adult working life.
Abandon
I thought I had an endless supply of slim gold bars of love to hand around with reckless abandon.
Imagine my surprise to turn up to my warehouse to find it sold, a dingy coffee-house in its place.
Trail
Your detritus is spread from one side of the web to another.
Clean up your trail, I’m sick of finding traces of you.
Malfunction
There was a terrible malfunction on the flight, everything went black and I ended up here.
I’m covered in blood, screaming and I’ve got the terrible feeling I’m going to have to go through puberty again.
