#Occupy My Heart 7

Their worst fears for realized, the occupy movement and the Tea Party knew their secret. Jenn and Steve decide their love was more important than politics. They threw off the shackles of politics and drove north, never looking back.

The End

Go Get Our Damn Trophy!

This was it, the final day, the all or nothing day. I had been waiting for this moment my entire life and this was my last chance, I knew I wouldn’t be back. Championship games in community softball  just don’t come around that often.

inspired by the above video…

Now… We’re Two

When we got married it was the greatest day of our lives. We forged a bond to become one family, together moving forward into the future. Since then… mistakes have been made; we are broken and our future is like a river that has run dry.

3rd Degree

I refused to pay my bookie, I tried to argue that he was a cheat and a liar, but in the end I just didn’t want to pay him. When he said he was going to give me the “third-degree” I thought he was being figurative. A week later at the burn unit I knew he was for real.

Virtual Personal Trainer

Running through beautiful mountain countryside, a computerized voice in my brain kept me periodically updated on important stats like distance, time, pace, calories burned et cetera. When I was finally done I hit the “stop” button and the virtual landscape faded away around me, leaving me standing on my treadmill. Nike+ 16.0 really had come a long way, but they still needed to make the train feel more realistic.

Trial By Jury

I hated jury trials, trials of any kind really, they were always so nerve-racking. This guy is a murderer, guilty as sin, no doubt about it. I only hope the jury couldn’t see what a fraud I am. 

Crossover/Mash-Up

None of them understood how they came together, somehow the network melded and now Optimus Prime, Col. Shepherd, thousands of Pokémon, Star Wars – everyone, they were all standing together on a digital battlefield. All the computer game characters, villains and heroes alike, all stood ready for their biggest challenge yet. The humans were trying to delete them, and they couldn’t allow that. To be continued….

Unchained

My bosses didn’t know it yet, but tonight was my last show, I’m quitting this bitch. My time as anchor on America’s last highly rated news program was over, I had enough of bullshit TV journalism. So tonight I was going to sign off by telling everyone what I thought of them: my bosses, coworkers, and especially the American public, those bastards.

No Rescue Required

The young knight pelted down the corridor shield held high, sword held higher, screaming at the top of his lungs. He jumped over stalagmites jutting from the floor, ducked under stalactites which loomed threateningly overhead and finally stopped, breathing heavily at the mouth of a large cavern deep within the dragon’s lair.  He saw her, the beautiful Princess Phoebe, in full court regalia, a blue taffeta gown with gold embroidered trim now covered in gore, as she calmly hacked away at the neck of a small and rather defenseless looking dragon.

Regency Afternoon

Evangeline smoothed the velvet nap of her smart afternoon dress. She bought it last month to show off her exquisite figure when she tooled around Hyde Park at the height of mid-afternoon with the members of the Haut Ton. She smiled at the handsome young man sitting in the driver’s seat, inexpertly handling the reigns of the high-perch phaeton with its green and yellow trim, his highly polished boots near blinding her with their mirrored brilliance as she tried vainly to rise from the mud where the wheel pinned her to the roadway

Office Holiday

Technically today is one of our rare paid holidays, but someone has to go to work, and this time that lucky someone is me. Row after row of empty cubicles greeted me as I opened the door. I wasn’t bothered, all those empty cubicles showed how empty my soul felt every day. 

Did I Make That Happen With My Mind? part 2

Watching the football game and quietly rooting for my team, I sweated as it looked like they were going to blow their lead in the final minutes. I thought to myself: now would be the time for a pick. Right at that instant, Jones intercepted the ball and took it to the house - victory. 

See the original Did I Make that Happen With My Mind? 

No Weapon Forged

They beat me, tortured me, abused my mind and body In ways I never could have imagined. They wanted me to betray my men, but I wouldn’t, I couldn’t. My men, my team, belongs to me; they might as well ask me to sell my soul.

Brother Against Brother

This was war and today my opponent was my brother John. I forgot about how close we are and focused only on crushing him like a bug, taking everything from him. Yes, I am that serious about poker, how else do you expect me to win?

Lincoln Town Car (Inspired my the musical composition, “Swim Good”, by Frank Ocean)

Pay it no mind; ‘tis only the drippings from my wounded, broken heart. Or, perhaps, the blood belongs to her. Her body’s in the trunk.
