Enigma with a Twist

Sorry, I’ll be back to writing soon, but for now I hope you enjoy this. Thanks, Ryan.

Insomnia

As I sit on my bed, thinking- Each new thought to those past linking- Hoping that on no sleep I can last. I soon discovered that another Sleep-deprived insomni-brother Lives next door since merely two days past. This very night I caught him staring From his bedroom, nearly glaring Into my home, and doubtless daring [...]

Retro Fit

Traded

His gaze traveled out onto the ice where our top line, Ensley-Krupp-Casper, set up against line two, Cooper-Mattheis-Bordeleau. My line, ordinarily, but Mattheis skated at my center spot for now. I looked back toward Coach and saw his eyes on me again. He didn’t seem angry or upset, like he usually did when chastising a player. No, he looked…uncomfortable, and not in way that made me think happy thoughts about the coming conversation either.
“Just got off the phone with Allan,” he named our organization’s General Manager and my world shifted horribly. I knew what today was.

The Strange Things That The Web Takes Away From Us

I prostrate my mind before you tonight after hours upon hours of television-watching with the dog, which has given me a headache that could kill the pope and still have enough left over to take down a couple of those fancy Swiss guards of his. And I do this for your amusement. At least try [...]

SPRING BREAK

The green and white tennis shoe laced tight to his right foot had unraveled and come undone.  His left was lost a mile back, when he dashed across the Belkin’s muddy lawn.  Five toes had already been exposed and he was in danger of showing off all ten, but still, he ran.  Through wet grass, [...]

+ The Perfect Shot -

View the world through an unfiltered lens, and wait for the right situation to develop.  I pull off to the shoulder side on the long road of life, and reach into the back seat for a little black bag.  Its memory making contents are pulled from their compartments, and the blinding caps are removed. Through [...]
