Author has written 18 stories for Fantasy, Nature, Life, Love, Family, Sci-Fi, General, and Historical.

Stress can be like a drug (theoretically), even to the point that, when you're drained to the point of exhaustion, your mind is still
active. You almost hallucinate, and your hands itch. Your mind itches even as your eyes slowly fall closed, inordinately heavy, kept closed by the feeling of thick molasses over your eyes. And in this state, you write. It just comes out. Pieces that are nothing but atmosphere. Stories without names. Poems only formed by sentiment without action.
Sometimes, your heart aches to write. At times, you give in, and apparently completely misunderstand your own result. More comes out of one work than what you put in -- this is the ideal. Provoking thought and new connections.

There are more senses than just the five tangible ones, after all. You develop a feel for it. For time. For writing. Just like working with clay, the final form remains unknown until it appears - it shapes itself. Why are endings so difficult to actually write? I wonder.

But disregarding the mindless babble, I'm a Californian since five years ago from Maryland. A junior in college - international studies/political science majors. Any more than this (or even this, really) is not of much import. The person doesn't matter as much as the work, oftentimes. At least that's how I like to function.

I hope you find something that you enjoy. If you do, or especially if you don't, please review so that I can improve my writing in general. Thankye kindly.

Gendered reviews
The gendered nature of conversations and relations is very curious. I felt like tracing it back to its incept one odd night after hanging out with a bunch of guys. Short, and comments are most welcome. I haven't been here in a while.

It's anything but touch used to describe that which only touch should describe. The fruit of a wandering mind.

I have no idea where this came from. Not based on real events. Popped into my head during Calculus.

Behind Closed Doors reviews
Considering that I'm happy right now, this coming out was a bit weird. Not much to say on it, though...

Reach
Face value spirit/nature poem, but also another reference, private-ish. Read and Review if you please. I'm not quite sure if it is done or not.

Silent Voice reviews
Written in the first person, this is a short story about someone who did not speak out when she needed to. A summary would hurt this because I would like to leave it up to the reader's interpretation. Please Read and Review.

A short story that centers around a girl that is hiding from people that are trying to kidnap her for certain abilities she holds. Not much here, wondering if I should continue it.

This is a poem that I just wrote yesterday. A friend of mine told me that anyone with imagination can put themselves in anyone's shoes, so I put myself in hers.

They think that what they do, how they at, doesn't concern us, the children. Wrong.

Roses reviews
Roses are often used to symbolize love, my own thoughts on that analogy. It isn't exactly in poerty format, but bear with me.
