**This post was crafted from two posts initially published on my Ko-Fi. Early 2018: I was handed three papers, two new prescriptions, two lab orders, and an appointment reminder for my next procedure, then I was ushered out of the room. I blinked. Was I breathing? Was I crying? Had I even had the chance to... Continue Reading →
"We probably shouldn't mention we went to a lower level." Artie Chen ticks the extensive list of things not to mention to his parents on his fingers as he and Jay Dee ride the lift up to the higher levels of the OTC.

"He keeps the cards," I said in a monotone, like my favorite superhero did on tv. "What are you gonna do... Continue Reading →
Since I'm writing a novel this month, here's a short story to tide over my avid readers. This is part one: ************************************************************************************************************************ Our mom was on the other side of the store, promising to return to the toy section as soon as she finished stocking up with groceries. We had a solid thirty minutes to... Continue Reading →
There are many difficult things to find in life, but patience is one of the most difficult to come by. I confess, I have been extremely impatient of late. I keep waiting for things to happen that I can't even really rely on. Things never quite go the way you expect them to and rarely... Continue Reading →
