Hello, Future
“Hello, future.” The words echo into oblivion. The silence was loud and deafening, but I know someone, or something out there, is listening to me. “It was rather impolite of me, isn’t it? if i don’t offer you a greeting.” Again, no response. Fair enough. “I’m aware of my. . . lack of manners in…

The severed friendships, the late night shouting matches with his mother, the mountain of debt accumulating in his bank account. There were other…
Favorite Crime: Almost
“If my heart can ever open again, there would be space for the two of us. Maybe in another universe we could’ve wished upon all the shooting stars. Maybe the skies would’ve been as iridescent as your eyes, reflecting away all the worry in the world but refracting my image. Maybe we could’ve had a…
