The Weight of it All
Fragile hearts and minds remind us we are alive
Don't make me ask the question, "What if?" I would go insane with those two words for the rest of my life.
You are hurting and in this pain we share. For as long as your lungs draw breath I can shoulder the burden.
If you find yourself wandering in the dark, allow me to guide you back to the light with this dying torch.
Allow me to carry you to the warmth of home, not find you in the cold six below.
So long as your heart draws blood, there is hope when we suffer together.

Silent Forest
The forest was once a peaceful place, where the snap of twigs and chirping of birds were the only things to be heard. But then came the thunderous footsteps and machines that drowned out these natural sounds. The machines with blackened armour rumbled through the forest scaring the critters away. Fires blazed and the forest saw its first glimpse of war.

Becca
"Everything is so... flat." Denille said stupidly as she looked around her new neighborhood. She looked around at the muted desert where even the smallest sign of life seemed to have given up. The plant life was shrubs that were half cooked by the heat and where there should have been a lawn, a mess of white rocks laid glistening in the sun. Even the sky looked stretched thin, like the sun had ironed it smooth. She’d moved from Riverside, where at least there were hills, but here in Barstow, everything felt baked and brittle.

Author’s Advice
If you would’ve asked me 20 years ago did I know I’d become a writer and an author, I would’ve said “nope, ain’t happening”. As fate would have it I did become an author and I can honestly say I’m loving it so far. It really does feel good to be a writer. I’ve learned a lot on this journey and I feel like with even me being as new to this world as I am, there’s some wisdom I need to share with every other aspiring author.
