As I opened my eyes I felt a bit groggy and soar. My muscles ached when I stretched myself and I heard some bones in my neck crack. A deep sigh escaped me as I glanced over to my PC. Nothing out of the ordinary there. My chair was still standing there and the clutter on my desk was as ominous as always. I'm a packrat and I know it, I might even be proud of a...
There are certain things I just cannot tolerate, and the everyday racism of older white Canadians toward immigrants of color like myself is one of them. My name is Ayaan Ismail and I'm a young Somali-Canadian Muslim woman living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. I attend Algonquin College and work as a cleaner part-time at one of Ottawa's university campuses....
They walked up to the group of old men standing at the end of the large room. Each of them seemed to be at least hundred years old at the least, with long white beards and dressed in long robes as if they were some kind of priests. Apart from that they seemed quite human-like, Teri thought. She tugged at the rope binding her wrists together. They still held...
The night had started out alright enough. It had taken some searching but the curvy, middle aged PI had finally found where the geek bastard was holed up. He was hiding in a vacant apartment building in the shadier side of town. Both the twisted pervert and his "collection" of brainwashed young coeds. The PI spent the prior day staking the building out to...
I was just minding my own business at the time. I'd gone to the beach and had just changed into my swimming costume in the back of my van when it started. I like to park a little away from the main car parks. It's a lot easier to keep an eye on my van that way. It's a pain when someone tries to bust into it looking for tools and electronics, so I like to tak...
Today was one of those days where rain never stopped falling. A day where the wind roared and the leaves jumped down the street in sync. I sat in the front seat of my mom's dodge mini van watching the water pour from the sky. "Aren't you excited sweetie?" my mom's jolly voice rang in my ears. "About what?" I knew exactly what she was talking about, and I...
Sometimes I wonder why so many annoying bozos, assorted creeps and bigots come my way, then I realize the answer the moment I ask myself the question. They come my way because I am the only one who can deal with them accordingly. Everyone I know run from trouble while I deal with it. Notice that I didn't say that I seek it out. Never bring trouble to trouble...
(Authors note: First time doing this so I honestly have no idea what I’m doing) Welp, it’s official, this guy is a fucking weirdo. Here you are, sitting on the bus, trying to get home from work, minding your own business, when the creep next to you keeps leaning over every 10 seconds to look at your watch and ask what time it is. Please for the love of god g...
When the loud speaker blared that Billie had a visitor he was tied to a stool. Billie had become a plaything for a few of the more business savvy residents of Blofield State Penitentiary. When prisons became smoke free buildings cigarettes were no longer the illicit currency of choice. Stamps had come into fashion because they couldn't keep you from mailing...
Surrounded by packing boxes and lawyers' bills the Hapless Husband asks, How did it happen? If you want to know why she cheated you need to accept that like many women your wife lied to you when you shared your sexual histories. Remember that night? A little drunk, limbs entwined, whispering for no real reason, the hooks of love snagging on your fast beatin...
