Expect the Unexpected

Sometimes I feel like a lost cause.  Here I was, in the last days of school before summer, staring at the girl of my dreams.  Class ends this week, and pretty soon, I’ll never see most of my classmates ever again, which means I have nothing to lose.  And yet, I also have nothing to say.  Well that’s not true, I have plenty to say.  I just can’t seem to verbalize any of it when I’m around her.

A Page in Time Ch. 1

The lights were blinding, but the energy was pure ecstasy.  Never before had young Paige LaChance sold out an entire venue, but today, the entire club was packed from wall to wall.  Sweat poured from her skin as she bared her soul to the audience in the form of song.  Her voice was perfectly on key and the notes from her guitar were breathtaking.  She had never been so galvanized with excitement at one of her performances, and the crowd was just as pumped.  Deafening cheers filled the halls of the space station orbiting her home on Tiberius.  This was the closest she would ever be to achieving her dreams.  Today, on Afterworld Station, the pr

The End of the Line

 This was it.  This is the end.  I knew this the second I walked into the room.  It would not be long now until it was all over.  I stand here at the threshold of heaven.  All of my relatives stare down at me, judging me, thinking I am unworthy.  Perhaps I am.  Perhaps I do not deserve to stand in their noble company.  They are not like me.  They are men and women who went out and accomplished things before their time was up.  But me, I stand here feeling ashamed to be in their company having accomplished so little.

As Pathetic As It Is

Again I lay here, In my bed, Staring at the ceiling, As pathetic as it is. I've failed again, No surprise, It's what I do, Fail, As pathetic as it is. Can't get up, Can't get out, My mind is screaming at me, Just to move, But I won't. I'm too afraid to face the day, Too afraid to do what I must, So here I lay, Trying to forget, That I exist, As pathetic as it is. My mother cries, My father yells, My brother glares, and I, I lay here, As pathetic as I am.
