Conspiracy Theory: COVID-19

July 8, 2020 PenAndPaperStoriesblog

Conspiracy theories are popular in American culture. I have never been one to give into them, or think of them. The idea that the CIA hired Lee Harvey Oswald to assassinate JFK doesn’t seem possible to me, for example. Bigfoot sightings are simply for the amusement of the bored or drug-induced mind I think.

A Little Hope

September 4, 2017September 4, 2017 PenAndPaperStoriesblog

I tried. Not once. Not twice. More than I am capable of counting really. Why? Hope. The promise of hope. I thought I had it, and maybe I do, but I don't have hope in you. Maybe I lost hope when I started thinking about it, what it should be, or where it wasn't. My… Continue reading A Little Hope

Saving Grace

October 19, 2016 PenAndPaperStoriesblog

Jon's daily walks brought peace on difficult days, and allowed him to have at least one healthy habit. Today his walk was different.

Freezing Fantasy

February 27, 2016 PenAndPaperStoriesblog

I don't know why I did it, but the goal wasn't to hurt anyone. It was a moment that deserved thinking beyond myself but I ignored it. I ignored everything that should have mattered. My frustration had been building for months. I was lonely, empty, and on fire with a desire to feel alive again.… Continue reading Freezing Fantasy
