I left the couch, book still in hand, and greeted the UPS man at the door. “Mr. Anderson?” he said. “That’s me.” “We found this package tucked away between two old storage carts at the very back of our facility.

[WP] After ten years of sobriety, you take your first drink
I looked down at the glass cup and chuckled. A man siting next to me at the bar noticed. "Something funny about that drink?" "No, it's just that I haven't had a drink in about ten years." The man appeared shocked at my statement. "Aren't you worried about your drinking problem?" He asked. "What drinking problem?"

My ol' friend, Jack Daniels. He had been sitting in the back of that liquor store for far too long. I spent my last eight bucks but, hey, it's not like my kids were around anymore. Fuckin' bitch took them with her. Took the house, the car, even the fuckin' dog. Should have seen it coming really. Her mother was just as...

It has been a little over 5000 moons since the great Iroquois nation has risen to control all of the lesser tribes of the great eastern forest. It was a great time of peace and discovery. It was also a time of great cultural change. No longer do we hunt and gather in the woods for our sole source of food, but we also g...

"News from the front lines, sir," she said as she walked into his office. "They request air support in order to secure the objective." The general frowned. "Air support?" He shook his head as he looked at the report. "Don't waste my time unless they kill five targets in a row."

It was a horrible war. All we could do was watch as the 8 year old kids who got their draft cards for Christmas went out to the battlefield to die, screaming racial slurs and leaving week old empty bags of Cheetos in their wake.

I remember as a child I used to use it to place myself in the position of my favorite superheroes. Flying around the city as Superman, fighting criminals who were robbing banks and holding innocent people hostage seemed to never get old.
