Excerpt 6
September 19, 2024
I had my last appointment with the foot surgeon today. The bandages and stitches were removed and since I cancelled the surgery I had scheduled for my right foot, there’s no reason for me to return. I asked for a referral for physical therapy, and I scheduled an appointment for next Wednesday before I left his office. I want to start rehabbing this foot. When I got home, I put a daily exercise alarm on my phone and Vase made me a veggie egg white omelet. It was a good morning, and I was happy, something I haven’t felt in the last few days.
I haven’t...

Roller Coasting
She was 56, her siblings were Disney villains, and the husband she'd waited a lifetime for pronounced her "undiagnosed bipolar" a mere three months into their marriage. The woman he left her for wasn't particularly young, thin, or pretty. No, his new wife, Karla, was infuriatingly easy going, a pediatric social worker who taught yoga on Saturdays.
Mary Jane had nothing but substitute teaching jobs, a great set of anodized cookware, a small, paid-off condo and $35,000 inherited from her beloved mother. Her life was easy to leave, and that's what she would do, for a while....

The Schoolboys and the Rastafarian Men (With original Patois quotations)
Two schoolboys, Dan and Josh, attended the Independent City All Age School in St. Catherine. In the evenings, they used to walk through a cane field near the school when they were going home. Many tall coconut trees bordered the cane field. Dan and Josh would cut sugar cane and pick coconuts to eat. In addition to that, they would carry some sugar cane and coconuts home.
The boys had a big problem. They had to pass a construction site on the way home, and some men who worked there would beg them sugar cane and coconuts. If the boys refused to give the men what they asked...

Not A Book Worm
I moved into my new place of residence today
A lovely old wooden framed dwelling
With its own library
(I may become a book worm once ive settled!)
I should mention, that i don't own this property
And if the owners knew i was here
They would literally resort to any means to get me out
Even resorting to having me killed
So i keep a very low profile
Thus have moved into the loft
Hidden amongst the big oaken beams
I think i'm in luck
As i'm the only woodworm in the house!

Blush
She sits at the dark mahogany bar,
warn down to a deep smooth finish.
Warm and comforting beneath her hands.
She tries to determine why this
can be addicting,
it was never that way for her
she could take it or leave it.
She was here now
because the lawyers thought they should meet
one last time,
make sure they were on the same page.
So he had
requested her company.
She wasn't at all surprised
that he was late,
she wondered if he even remembered
he was to meet her here.
It was getting quite crowded.

The art of the craft
In the quest to unraveling, an revealing the understanding of the unknown, venturing into the realms of the forgotten knowledge and ancient wisdom of old, heading down paths so cold in different directions, with no warmth or any heat to help comfort the soul, yet we persevere forward in pursuit of power and control, some sort of reassurance or even a strong hold, over the art of the craft, performances, pictures, artwork, books, films, even stories have been told, yet even within science and math all done seeking to acquire to master the art of the craft.

Silent War- Chapter 2 "Proposition"
As she promised, the following weekend Liz took her fashionably clueless roommate to Rue St. Hubert, one of Montreal’s major commercial arteries filled with over four hundred quality boutiques and tailors.
In the second boutique that they’ve visited, Liz took a good look at the other clients trying on long dresses of various colors.
Instantly, she knew the style that would suit Rachel best and make her stand out.
Liz spoke with a consultant, who showed the two women an entire rack of slightly shorter dresses near the fitting rooms.
The dresses were...

The Captain
Waves continued to make the ship sway
I remembered her face
Her smile that shines like stars
Hair that matched the sun
My voyage had just begun
“I’ll see you someday “
Or at least that’s what I said
Without actually knowing
If that day will come
Will I make it home
Or will I die alone
Out at sea
Without ever meeting my baby?
Another day,
Another wave
I’m going to make it
My love, I hope you can wait
Until the day
I can finally stay
I remembered her face
Her smile that shines like stars
Hair that matched the sun
My voyage had just begun
“I’ll see you someday “
Or at least that’s what I said
Without actually knowing
If that day will come
Will I make it home
Or will I die alone
Out at sea
Without ever meeting my baby?
Another day,
Another wave
I’m going to make it
My love, I hope you can wait
Until the day
I can finally stay

It's sweet insight
"Good afternoon sir, welcome to the patisserie. What can I get for you"
"Hi, yes I'd like some cake please"
"Certainly, is it for a particular occasion"
"No no, simply to observe"
