  • Leaving

    He left me for cash  Money I didn’t know I   Was saving for him 

  • Motive

    Whether she knew it or not, Taylor had a reason for everything.  A single motive she based her entire life on.  She would deny, deny, deny she was a gold digger until the day she died.  She claimed she “worked” at the only bank in town because she loved the thrill of helping the “people…

  • Brutal

    I never knew brutal until I left my parents’ house for the very first time.  Until that very moment, I never considered that every family didn’t have a housekeeper, a chauffeur, and a chef on call at all hours.  I didn’t know everyone didn’t have an extra vacation house or two.  When I finally went…

  • Criminal Defense

    “I am honestly not sure how he is going to get over this.  How is he going to get by.  He was arrested!”  I listened to my aunt rant and rave about my cousin’s latest arrest.  If she knew how many times he had really been arrested, she would have a complete fit.  She only…

  • Manly

    “I never understood why it was important for everyone in our family to man up.  To be manly.  My brothers were never allowed to cry.  Never allowed to wear clothes that could be described as anything but blue and a ‘working man’s’ clothes.”    As I continued to write in the journal I had snuck out…

    I stared at the numbers on the television above the bar and tried not to scream.  I knew the numbers by heart because they were the same numbers on the lottery ticket I had purchased earlier that day.  I had never bought a lottery ticket before this morning, but I was in a weird spot. …

  • Alton High

    I had never wanted to be in on the joke. I hated pranks and this one seemed especially horrible. Not to mention dangerous. But since Joe and Charles were the masterminds behind the prank, the show would go on. At eighteen, the two were the Kings of Alton High and no one ever dared to…

  • Space

    “I need my own space,” I whispered to myself as I watched Amy throw her clothes all over the room.  I knew exactly where her keys were, but if she had kept her side of the room clean, she wouldn’t be in this spot.    “I need to go, I need to go, I need to…

  • Finance Update

    I have started my hopeful journey to being a minimalist. Which is kind of funny based on the amount of things I have. But I started today listing some of my clothes on Poshmark and also found out you can list dishes on the app as well. I am slightly obsessed with Poshmark due to…
