Opal didn’t say anything about Sam’s information from the Simulation. We ate lunch in silence for a while, as I tried to ignore the gnawing anxiety, chewing on the back of my neck. How could we just eat rice and soup like I didn’t just tell her our ship is trying to kill us. I … Continue reading The Ship: Part 4

I joined a dating site (again) because I'm bored and a masochist, apparently. This morning I had the pleasure of speaking with Drew. Drew asked me a couple questions about the software engineering degree I'm pursuing, whether or not I was at work and who this man is in one of the Instagram pictures on … Continue reading validation

I … Continue reading auspicious winters

The last 3 times I've been on campus, I have bought new headphones just so I can leave them at home again because past Jen, is an inconsiderate ass hole.

first love
I saw you from a distance, you were lost in thought. a familiar feeling rose in my stomach as I recalled the first time you kissed me, in the shade, along the banks of a lazy river, on a midwest summer afternoon.

A singular trumpet plays with a piano echo and a stand up bass moving forward. I'm in your apartment in a hazy cloud left over from the night staring out the window. It's winter in the city, the snow is falling on the Detroit River and the trumpet plays on. I can still remember the … Continue reading miles davis
