I Can't Afford to Die
I want to share my experience and thought process with the online community since some of you may relate. It is not the fear of dying or what you suggest. I really can't afford to do this now. No, it's not that I am young enough for this, but I have a long list of fulfilments.

Revival Part 4
Jane wasn’t sure whether she should be just as terrified of Aaron as she was of the five deacons who had tried to capture her. She had never seen anyone react with the speed and force that Aaron had displayed. He must have had that large knife on him from the time they met but she never saw it until it was on the lead deacon’s throat. This was twice this mysterious man had saved her from certain death and she knew very little about him. She needed answers but didn’t know how to go about asking the right questions.

Revival. Top Story - August 2024.
Blustery winds buffeted the canvas walls of the little tent causing them to make a cracking sound so loud it woke Aaron and Jane from a deep sleep. While the two were resting the cold weather had coaxed the companions into unconsciously cuddling to stay warm. Now they were awake, both scurried to the opposite sides of the tent, each looking a little embarrassed. Aaron was the first to leave the tent to empty his bladder and start a fire. Jane, still looking a little uncomfortable from her close encounter, left the camp for a short time but returned a little later with some wood for the campfire.

Saving Purgatory Chapter 5: Saving a soul
Zero picked up prison by the collar of his shirt. “Why is she crying?” he asked, whisper yelling at Prison, to not upset Sashi any further. His tone, angry yet calm. “Dude all got out of her after she almost kicked my door off its hinges is that; one: there's a dog, two: an officer and three: a sign on one of my doors.” Prison whispered. Zero set Prison down and walked over to Sashi, he sat down and pulled her into his lap. “Baby girl, tell me what happened.” he said, brushing some hair from her face.

To all my fellow creators
Why do you share your work and journey with your social network? Nobody cares about what you do in your life. ⏩This! How often do we come across this statement? The argument for instant gratification that we gain while sharing glimpses or content about our journeys being detrimental for us, in the long run, is completely valid. The validation that we crave from external realms often stems from a lower sense of self-esteem.

Relocated (Chapter 2)
The letter from the drones said the following: “The world as you know it is about to be destroyed with nuclear warfare. The five of you have been spared. Through the rainforest, at the base of the mountain, where the cluster of papaya trees is, there is an underground bunker that has been prepared for you. Find the bunker quickly as it has items that you’ll find useful.”

Relocated (Chapter 1)
Mitch rode his bike with no hands down the sidewalk. The day was young and the sunshine felt just right on his shoulders. He wore a blue tank top with gray gym shorts. On his right side there were lapping ocean waves on large rocks. On his left side there was speeding traffic. The salty mist from the ocean tasted nostalgic. The exhaust from the motor vehicles on the other side of the road was a bit annoying. He kept riding down the sidewalk, charging at the blasting breeze. He looked to his left and saw a convertible with four girls in bathing suit tops. They were singing to some Beach Boy music. They waved at him flirtatiously. His bike hit a small pothole and he nearly swerved into a ditch on the side of the road. Just in time, before an accident occurred, he jumped off his bike. He wiped his face as beads of sweat sprang forth from his forehead. He looked over to the right and saw a very nice peaceful beach. The beach waves waved at him in a way, also flirtatiously like the girls who’d passed by seconds earlier. He tied his bike to a tree with a small lock and chain. Pulling his shirt off, he ran full force at the waves, attacking the water. Smiling, he felt happy as there was no one else around at the moment. Sometimes when he’d gone to beaches, there were too many people around and it was hard to feel as in tune with the nature. The water was cool and exhilarating, what a great day it was!
