Weekly Reflection: This week really helped me get into the creative spirit in an apocalyptic sense. I am not very familiar with this subject matter but after reading some short stories and diving into my novel “I Am Legend” I have really acclimated to it.

Last night my mom and I fell asleep watching a sad movie. I think it was sad because she was crying, so I snuggled her and licked her face. Her tears were really salty. I really don’t know why she was so upset but I am worried about her. I did not sleep well… there …

I go by Psycho. After all, that’s what everyone has been calling me since middle school. However, I don’t notice anyone laughing after they call me. Not since the apocalypse. I am a psychic overseer, and I use my ability to warn people when the zombies will be arriving where they set up camp. I…

Amazon would not let me write a review since I have never purchased anything, but here is what I would write. I cannot begin to tell you how ironic and useful this hot sauce has been. I spend most of my time hiding from zombies, but now I am able to peacefully eat while staring at even…

Every morning I get up, take the dog out to pee, then turn to my coffee maker. (Yes, I only drink decaf, but you know it does still have some caffeine, and the steaming cup, the bitter nuttiness–that’s what I’m addicted to.) When I lift the mini-blinds to get to my coffee-bean-canister sitting on the windowsill, … Continue reading Love from the Beyond
