Update!

 Oh look, an update that ISN'T a story? 

It honestly should be more of a thing, but eh. Anyway, I intend on trying to update things as best as I can.

As we all know, life has never ever respected anything in the way of plans. But, shouldn't stop me from trying anyway.

For the moment, this will be my centralized homepage in my pursuit of becoming an author. At least until I can figure out the best way to craft a site that reflects me as a person and a writer. Even in my mid thirties, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to describe me. Life, right?

Anyway, consider this as a 'pardon the mess' type post. I'll be back at it with more short stories and the like.


Later!

A true story about a ridiculous human

 I was told that today was World Suicide Prevention Day and I guess it's as good a time as any to write about my least favorite subject some days: me.  Let me be up front: I have suicidal ideation. It's always going to be with me, but I can at least talk about it. In grammar school, it was the first time I tried to take my life. My personal life was in shambles; my parents were at odds with one another with me stuck in the middle. I had a lot of thoughts I couldn't process..but all I knew is I couldn't take it anymore.  I left a note and it was found by a teacher. All it did was just get me yelled at by the faculty and my parents. They never asked why I felt hopeless enough to try it...but all they felt was shame. Great start for me trusting adults. The family situation didn't get any better during that time. Both sides of the family were in a cold war sort of situation and it just made me feel worse. I counted 9 times I've tried. And I failed each time.  I actu...

Night Therapist

 Jeanne Duchamp yawned mightily and stretched herself out onto her couch. The tension that inhabited her body slowly ebbed away with that motion. She swept her long locs out from behind her to rest on her left side. "Last thing I wanna do inadvertently pull my own hair while napping," she muttered. Her surroundings were rather homey; wood paneled walls, burnt umber hued couch, and all the other bits of furniture were made of heavy oak. One thing of note was the heavy bookcase to her left, laden with all sorts of literature. The low lighting in the room was causing her to slowly drift off. Maybe just one quick nap before her session, she thought.  Just as she was about to drift off, her cell phone buzzed in her jeans pocket. Groaning in effort, she rolled off the couch and grabbed the still ringing phone from her pocket. "nnnnhello?" "Doctor Duchamp? I didn't catch you at a bad time, did I?" She cleared her throat noisily and replied, " Oh no, I wa...

21 Questions with Kenneth 'Ichiro' Calder. (it'll be split up again because no one likes walls of text)

  Thanks to Writing Prompt once again  for inadvertently helping me out with necessary character development so I can work on my antagonists. I'll be running this in an interview style, which means I'll be making up a person to facilitate the questions a la 20/20. "Good evening, America. This...is 20/20. I'm Margaret Landau and today I will be talking with a rather controversial figure. He has risen to notoriety in the legalized assassination cabal known as the Corporation. This man was part of one of the most feared duos by way of his younger brother who remained in the United Kingdom. He now carves out his own path as the leader of the Japanese Assassination Squad. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Kenneth Calder. Kenneth, thank you for joining us today." Kenneth: Thank you for interviewing me. But I would prefer to be called Ichiro. *pause* Margaret: My apologies, Ichiro. Let us get started then. 1. What is your greatest physical attribute? Ichiro: Physical attr...
