I suck at "about me" summaries. I have an MFA in Creative Writing and I love to write. I used to sling coffee for a living, but now I am an administrative assistant. I am the friend who wanders around the world with little to no filters and blurts out every funny story idea that comes to me, but if I don't write them down immediately I forget. I can make almost anything sexual. I love reading Scorpio stereotypes.

Master
There is something about a man wearing black leather gloves that is both inherently sexy and at the same time creepy. Serial killer-esque mixed with Alpha/Master. This man has not only black leather gloves, but well polished black leather shoes and a well-cared for black leather satchel/briefcase. Charcoal grey, tailored suit, and a matching fitted…
A New Lease on Life
Hey Ya’ll, I know I disappeared for a bit and I am sorry. I was having a really hard time at my job. My stress levels were through the roof and I had no mental space to take care of myself. But I am back. I got a new job and I am at the…
Vorschict! Glas!
Her body is made up of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, and other trace elements, but really she is glass. She is glass in all its forms. Her fluxes are ever changing, but at her core she is silica. At her best, at her purest, it would take over three thousand…
Playlist 9 – Impressions, D10
Playlist: Depressed Song 10: The Fool by Lee Ann Womack Hands Let it go. Let her go. I have my hands out, waiting to pull you into a safe protected space. Can you take that? Can you accept it? Long slender fingers. Dancing with him wearing the mask of another girl’s face. When you close your eyes…

Playlist 9 – Impressions, D18
Playlist: Depressed Song 18: When You’re Gone by Avril Lavigne Fingerprints Touch starved. Fingertips skating over cheekbones, a warm hand on the back of my neck, the heavy grounding weight of a hand on my head or shoulder. Lean on me, push me into the ground, root me down and stop me from flying away. Bracelet…
Impenetrable
I am impenetrable. I am impenetrable because I will it to be so. I have the last say and I will not let you dig under my skin and I will not let you manipulate me and I will not allow you to have any power or sway over me. I have the agency in…
Paranoia
Tight pinched face. Suspicious darting eyes. Glasses hanging around her neck on a multicolored cord. Shopping bags on her wrists. Blue flats, blue shirt, blue vest. She is always looking into the car behind eyes, her eyes squinting down as she moves her head back and forth to try and see someone or something behind…

Hey Everyone, This is my 100th post and it is from my new computer so I figured I would so something special and fun for this one. I am including audio of today’s post, which is one of my longer pieces that is still currently in progress. The project is called Thou and is a…
Haunted
He shook himself awake into the oppressive darkness. She remained undisturbed beside him, huddled under the comforter with the rounded curve of her back to him. He sat up. Fuck, he said. Fuck. He shook himself from terror to terror, rescued from the horror of what might be to the lugubrious world of what was….
