Rest well sweetheart..

4 days late 6 days late 10 days late.. She watched the days trickle past, not worried, she had been safe, it had been a safe day, whatever those were, she had checked her calendar, jotted everything down in that God forsaken app, the same app that woke her up each morning with "Did you…

Dear Single Lady or Gent…

How was your Christmas? Did you stumble upon a mistletoe? or chance upon a Midnight firework-filled New Year's Eve? Does it matter? Did it hurt? Dear Single, do you know what a gift you have? Like an honestly amazing gift you have in your hands, to be young (or old) and free. Free to grow…

My best friend and my person are hurt, their people are dying, beaten mercilessly and the whole nation closes their eyes, calls them criminals..since when was it a crime…

Jewel 22 # Away from pain..

CHAPTER 22 NAIYA! NAIYA! NAIYA! Jessica felt someone nudge her and struggled to open her swollen eyes. Thank God there was not much light in the room. She saw a young boy with a lighter wave at her. He tried lifting her head and nudge her towards a cup. She was sure the contents would…
