Golden retriever my ass.
Where is my pirate treasure, dog?
Palm reader
Shake my hand.
Now turn it over and read your future.
Dissection
My science teacher, Mr. John tells us to take a seat, we do, he tells us we are going to be dissecting. My heart starts to pound as I realize we will be dissecting live people.

Free Mirror
I recently found a mirror, in perfect condition at the junkyard where I work, my boss said I could take it home, but later I realize every time I go to look at my reflection it’s not me but a little girl in a white dress. I started to get scared to I took it back to the junk yard. Just as I set it down in a pile, the girl pulled me in.
Date
Later I realised I could have read out fortune cookies and you still would have thought we were having a conversation.
Looking forward to the next date!

closet skeletons
Glancing briefly into his searching eyes, I smiled non-chalantly, innocently as the murderer shook my hand. After all, I’d been too young to remember… right?
Fire Stoked
When first married, passion’s fire so hot, never the lovemaking did you scrimp.
Twenty years later, the embers are cold, and poker limp.
Expiry
As soon as I paid for the six-pack of doomsday devices I knew I had made a big mistake.
I used like … three and then the rest just sat in the cupboard until I tossed them out, months past their expiry dates.
Rule One
It goes without saying that conversations that needn’t be repeated have come to pass behind closed doors. The looking glass dare not venture there, but the ear has, more than once, so slyly crept.
A Dead Voice
I sit in bed alone, reading a novel, then i hear the words “Go to sleep” behind me. It’s just my dad, and i realize my father was buried with my mother three years ago.
Plans
Stroke your fingers over the crackling plans and marvel at their hubris.
They shall build the most evil house ever!
Saturn
You were not my Sun or my Earth.
You weren’t even my Saturn.
Make-believe
Religion is a controversial topic. There are those who believe, those who make other’s believe and those who don’t care to believe in anything at all but the one thing they have in common is the thought that anyone who believes something otherwise lives in make-believe.
Bad luck
Isn’t life hilariously cruel when you run into a week of being short of cash and all your bills arrive at once, you’re neighbour ignores you when you wave to say hello and every take-away diner get’s your order wrong. Don’t get out of bed.
Work
At work I always tell the truth.
I’ve been fired like three times.
Sisters
The two sisters, as young girls, braided each others hair, borrowed sweaters, met boys at dances, and shared endless secrets, dreams, hopes and fears.
The two old sisters, both now widowed, wash each others hair, borrow sweaters, visit their husband’s graves, share a lifetime’s memories, griefs, and experiences and, while holding hands, enjoy the sunset of their lives.
What about you?
At five in the a.m. I drudged outside in the sodden morning. Thank goodness my dog would be doing most of the work.
Apple Blossoms
I’m not truly convinced it is summer until the apple tree is the perfect shade of sunrise-pink. And then I climb into the branches and wait for you to come home.
