      The Butterfly with the Artificial Wing

        I sit here in silence as I watch my mother go through the ceremonial lighting of the candle. This is not something bad; it is the norm for our family. Once a year, we all, the female patriarchy of...

      • Brilliantly penned, Fia. Into the book it belongs! This was incredible storytelling, and I even welled up with tears, I knew that the Butterfly and professor was a metaphor for something really going on. Powerful ending, the foreshadowing was precisely executed. Thank you for sharing. Appreciate you.

        • Thanks, Damian. I was trying to think how a young person would convey what is going on in their own way. Not all of them come straight out and say anything.

      • Truly beautiful.

      • Marvelous write. Well done.

      Learning To Breathe Again

      As I move on  from my haunting past, I learn to breathe again.   From thoughts of suicide and the horrid escalation to attempting it, I survived.   November, 2018 was the worst month of my life, devastating it is to almost die.   Liberating it was afterwards, when I spent months...

      • Powerfully penned, Daniel. That’s a tough one my friend, I have anxiety, depression, and was an alcoholic. It’s not the same as what you’re going through. But I do know how it feels to be in the trenches fighting for sanity and hope. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

      • I truly feel for you, Daniel. I know what it’s like to pray for darkness. There is hope, just keep going, my friend.

        There is a song your piece reminds me of.

        “But it’s too late to go back
        I can see the darkness through the cracks.
        Daylight fading, I curse the breaking.
        The day is gone”

      • Powerfully penned, Daniel. I know what’s it like to be a creature of night, incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.
