Hunger

The first day wasn't overly exciting. I mean, I volunteered to be here so I guess that excitement to try something new was still alive in me. Plus the rewards they promised could make any person happy. The conditions were simple yet exact. "Help Wanted: Need someone to enter into an isolated chamber for two...

The Date

The longer Jorr waited, the more his mind went to darker places. Why had she not even attempted to contact him? He knew that being stood up was a natural part of dating, but this time was different. She was so easy to connect to and could make him laugh without any force. Jorr had...

My Pre-High School Dating Life

I was just a bit odd when it came to my early dating years. I freely admit that I'm going to be a bit embarrassed about recounting my pre-high school dating record but I feel that it may stand as a sort of monument to how strange one can be and yet still make it...

Backyard Stories

As I'm sure some of you may be aware by now, my friends always got me into some kind of trouble. It was always hilarious, yet here are a few short stories that come from the backyard of my old friends Bert and Justin (See Potheads, Run!) First, there was a time when we would love...

Hide and Seek

The evening wind blew softly on this night, causing Jerr to relax himself quicker than usual. After his third 10 hour shift this week, he had not been able to find himself a moment of peace in which to recover. Yet this crisp breeze was something his soul could feel as it enveloped him in...

The Window

Moving houses seemed closer to normal to Liam than staying in one place. His family was always moving from one place to another. Frankly, unpacking seemed unnecessary as they would never be anywhere long enough to make the effort worth it.  Yet with every new place his parents would assure him it was the last...

Warcraft III: Childhood in a Game

The questions is often posed, "What is your favorite game of all time?" A lot of people will say things like Halo 3 or Skyrim. Some people have oddly specific games. As for me, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne will go down as my favorite game of all time. I can't speak for the future,...

The Footsteps

I'm someone who gets very freaked out. My family liked to make fun of me because I'd always be up late and would get freaked out by noises coming from the house. Occasionally my brother would come home late and I'd think it was an intruder until he turned on some lights. Well on this...

Why I’m Green Bay Packers Fan

One of the first things people will tell you about me is that I'm a huge Packers fan. And by the gods, they would be so right. I won't sugar coat it or humbly chuckle that I watch from time to time. I'm in it for the long haul. Some people don't understand how such...

The Hockey Stick

So I have a lot of stories that involve my friends doing something incredibly gutsy and possibly stupid that I somehow got involved with. This happens to be one of those stories. It was a cool night in the twilight of our high school years. I want to say it was our junior year because...
