    Swirling Leaves

    The music screams into her ears Drowning out any thoughts she might have had hiding in her head It was autumn And it was beautiful With the leaves swirling around A multicolored chaos against her green hoodie But today, the sun was hiding And the wind was...

    • I love watching a good storm roll in but I have never fully subscribed to the “go try and spot the tornado” mentality. I have too much respect for those storms to want to watch that happen in real time. I’ll settle for seeing that through my cameras.
      Right before a thunderstorm starts though and the wind is picking up. That’s ideal to stand in the middle of.

      • I have been known…a time or 2…to go chasing. But generally, I stick to the porch with an unobstructed path to shelter at my back. Been in the tornado belt too long to not respect them. In this case, it chased us. First we knew was the sound of what seemed to be an airplane through the living room, followed by huge crashes. When I say we had a tree all over our yard, parts were in the front, parts along the side & part was in back. Big house, lots of ground to cover. We were very lucky. Thank you for stopping by

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Storm watching huh? I can’t remember the last time I did that. lol. Excellent write my friend, glad you’re ok, nature does know how to put on a show. Appreciate you.

      • It was a wild time. Crazy intense. Enough so that my 35 yr old daughter came downstairs looking for her mommy. Some people still have no power. I love storm watching. This was bigger than that. We were super lucky, my friend

    • Tremendous work. Vivid and sharp.

    • We get the occasional blizzard too. Though nothing like you northerners get. Mostly we get icicles on our ass, & wild thunderstorms. They’re speculating we caught the trailing edge of a tornado this time. Lucky, we were very lucky. Thanks girl

    Lady of Sorrow (Preface: The Nightmare)

         Before we sped off on our death-ride, the full moon shone through the windshield of Billy’s red Ford pickup, which was idling in the hazy chill of an early spring night in front of our buddy Taylor’s...

    Scream

    “It’s like you’re screaming and no one can hear” but anyone can read it… anonymity. Just another scream on paper

    In Retrospect

    Is there something I haven’t seen yet in life? Is it something that will be revealed to me? Is this life one of perceptual distortions? Is nothing really what it seems? All this frightens me! For if I made it this far in...

    • Life…so many questions! Are we “living” in a simulation? Not real at all, but a “player” or side character in a futuristic game based on 2025. Another theory is the multiverse. I drowned as a little girl. They revived me and I lived on. But in another realm did I die and just shift to continue on? Are any of us real?

    • Powerfully penned, Daniel. Incredible write my friend, human nature has a twisted side. Appreciate you.
