To my new readers, I’ve missed writing, and haven’t written a lick since I’ve moved here. This is my first attempt, so please be patient with me.

We Really Don't Need Much

The other day we had an event happen to us that turned out to be very interesting to examine. The power went off in the buildings in which we live from 9am to 2am the next day. At first it didn’t mean anything to us. We were cocky.

It's Our Time, It's Our Turn

He woke up early, maybe around 6:00 or 6:30. He slept, snored, talked and moved around all night. I laid awake, hoping for some shut eye, fixing my pillow, moving around, finally giving in to reading, taking another pill and falling into a shallow sleep.
