fiction // the beach house [short edition]

the beach house
[short edition]
It had been a day like today, a serene one, shattered by her arrival: wonderfully sudden and intense and violent. The rowboat had been the same, the grey waves choppy, the shore unchanged; yet since that day, his life was a different one. She had come in the morning, on the rare [...]

fiction // a friend

Bombshells illuminate the distant horizon dimly through the dense forest; shrapnel slices the air. The man presses his back against the rough, scarred bark of a centuries-old tree, his rifle held vertical.

6.29 // popsicle perfection

Sometimes you just need a cloudy, drizzly day to stay inside and not feel guilty. I, for one, equally love waking up to a 70-degree breeze and sunshine AND the soft patter of rain on my roof (content to snuggle back in for another hour or so of guilt-free pleasure!). So today was pretty much [...]

6.28 // the last of the sunlight fades away

where were you when i was burned and broken
while the days lipped by from my window watching
and where were you when i was hurt and i was helpless

6.28 // tips on how to make it after an all-nighter

Staying up for more than 18 hours is usually a challenge for me (depending on motivation and whether or not I want to actually be functioning), so 36+ hours of sheer wakefulness isn’t exactly high on my list of Super Fun Things To Do. However.
