This is a collection of scenes, very shorts, and doodles in the Sci-Fi space.

A second book of poetry, posted in no particular order or schedule. Maybe it's better than the first. Or not.

When I heard about women and men staying in an abusive relationship, I wondered what was wrong with them. How could they stay with someone who’d hurt them? Why didn’t they walk away from their abuser? It’s an easy thing to do to walk away in order to keep yourself from getting beat up or worse… killed. If I knew I was going to meet Jeffrey Harris, during our freshman year of college, I would’ve kept those thoughts to myself because soon, I would become one of those people.

The first time Cody told himself "it was just sex", he knew he was lying, and now ,three years later, standing atop a wall of guilt, with clipped wings and dreams of coming to life, he wondered if he would fall before he flew. Will Cody find the chance, or will it be just another warm body to pass the lonely nights with?

Children of God can seek sanctuary, protection, and shelter at any House of God; but what of those who are not? Creatures shunned by the Lord have only one option, and that is to seek out a Rectory Office and claim sanctuary.

Website designer Scottie Ness is taking a well-deserved vacation from the grindstone, and he plans to spend it in the solitude of Washington’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest around Mt. Adams. He’s prepared for everything—except the lightning storm that traps him in a wildfire.

Maybe Scottie should have gone to Hawaii on vacation instead.

Wanted criminal Hong Shen finally meets his end after being stabbed in the back by a comrade. As he makes his final resting place under a dead plum tree, he submits to death.

Instead, he receives two choices: die, or be given a second chance.

To take the second chance means he must complete a trial in the past in order to return to the present. But what he doesn't know is that the trial isn't only difficult for him, but even more difficult for the person he must be to fulfill it.

Autobiographical in nature, some chapters told through an attempt at a chiasmus. My thoughts and feelings on life, based upon my own experience.

Reading chapters in order is unnecessary.
