Introspection
Soaked In Jazz
She hands me the spliff and I take a long drag, the fragrant White Widow smoke filling my lungs. I love this weed, relaxing me all over, but not dulling my mind. Or my libido.
The Good Lies We Tell

Stranger Things & Summer Nights
“You’re gonna enjoy it, I’m sure. It’s so Stephen King-ish,” he said to me during one of our summer chitchats. The book fell into oblivion then, mostly because we were too busy making out.
The Shadow Of Me
My home was now a crime scene, everything I owned was evidence. I watched the light go out on the bright, outgoing, creative 22 year old and a ghostlike shadow take her place.
Max Level 50
Sanctuary. For now. There’s something about a 20-foot robotic tank with a sniper cannon and tracer missiles that lets you breathe a sigh of relief.
Just My Type
Spike is my greatest weakness. He's my fandom and first fictional boyfriend. He also paved the way for all of the blonde, blue-eyed boyfriends I would ever have.

There’s that disorienting feeling again, and Dane and I are walking home from school. I remember this day well. The school bully, Mike, is following us. I know what happens next.
