Debunked II
When I say 'I am doing nothing'
I am not inviting you to come over
Nor am I asking you to invite me out
Doing nothing doesn't mean I'm available. That deserves its own request.

The Retail Store, part 3
Monday morning had come
The routine staff meeting was taking place
Today everyone seemed serious
The cheery energy from the last time
Seemed to have doubled down
Now this place felt like coming to work
Everyone gone assigned the area where they would be working
And that is when I realized
I didn't actually get a full tour of the store
I basically just stood with Ben in the same position towards the front end
"So Newbie you will be working in the Discreet section" - BossLady remarked
'uhm Discreet section?'

BOOK REVIEW Tender Is the Flesh (2019)
for more reviews of horror fiction, see my blog: thelibraryatborleyrectory.wordpress.com
A simple bit of advice: don’t read this novel while eating a Big Mac, or really any meat dish, fast food or haute cuisine. Tender Is the Flesh, an Argentinan novel about a world where animal meat has been declared inedible and replaced with human, is one of the most disturbing novels I’ve read. This is due as much to how the content is delivered, in spare and clinical prose, as the content itself. It’s a dystopian novel like few others, making some of even the most fearsome fictional futures...

The Retail Store, part 1
A degree in hand and
debt chasing me down
This is my life now
Job hunting wasn't favorable on me
The market is closed off right now
Just when I was about to give up
Something did come up
A friend of mine recommended
I join her workplace
It was at a retail store
The pay wasn't that good
Yet for some reason
she was really happy to work there
So I thought what the heck
The store wasn't that huge
It was just in the vicinity of the mall
Yet it was almost hard to notice
When driving past ...

The Sword and the Werewolf
Back in my day kid, yeah back in my day things were DIFFERENT. They were BETTER. Werewolves were feared and snails forgotten and trampled after a solid full moon and a rain. You see it always rained on the full moon. They used to say that the moon was God’s eye and once a month he needed a good cry. So all he had to do was open one eye and look at us and he would openly weep. He couldn’t open both eyes. That shit would kill him. That much pain. He would off himself that night.
So what did God do? He gave us werewolves and called it a night and now they haunt this village every...

Nice Guy Chronicles VI
So here I was like a dog with its tail between its legs
I got stood up and there was no changing the scenario
I was walking back home,
I felt numb to say the least
My heart felt heavier with each step
Little did I know who I was about to run into
A boy and a girl were walking towards my direction. They didn't seem to be talking, you'd swear they were two strangers who just so happen to be matching each others pace.
The girl looked familiar and once we noticed each other her face just lit up
There she was
I hadn't...

Nice Guy Chronicles V
Getting take outs is an art
As much as all the places sell similar food
You just know that if you want this meal
You prefer to go to store A instead of store B
My friend and I knew this one burger place
It was a bit of a walk as we had to pass the closer stores but hey
These ones were worth the extra footsteps
As we walked up,
I noticed two people a few paces ahead of us.
'look at her' - I whispered to my friend. He nodded in response. As we unspokenly agreed that we're both mesmerized.
As it turned out they walked...

Ace and Affection: The story of Possessions
I still remember when it actually clicked
It happened one morning
I saw her walk into school
And like a scene from a corny movie
It's like she was walking in slow motion
'Damn' - I thought to myself
I'd known her for about 2 years at that point
But on that day, something about her seemed different to me
There was something about her
That just made me want her
Well I did chicken out of ever telling her though
Fast forward we didn't keep in touch
We both lived in different cities
Life happened ...

The Dead Remembered
She remembered the hiding place
where she met her soulmate
the little hut at the cove
he had promised to wait
until she graduated
but he disappeared
she mourned him
and grieved for years
until she knew he had died
the sea roared angry
that day, his boat capsized
he drowned before saying goodbye
where she met her soulmate
the little hut at the cove
he had promised to wait
until she graduated
but he disappeared
she mourned him
and grieved for years
until she knew he had died
the sea roared angry
that day, his boat capsized
he drowned before saying goodbye

Midwinter Blues
Midwinter Blues
My muse is quiet.
Midwinter blues.
Look forward for my wild prose
to thaw.
But I am listening to
my friend Judih’s radio program.
Boozy chanteuse
Optimism blossoms.
Biden president and a rover on Mars.
My muse is quiet.
Midwinter blues.
Look forward for my wild prose
to thaw.
But I am listening to
my friend Judih’s radio program.
Boozy chanteuse
Optimism blossoms.
Biden president and a rover on Mars.
