East Rock Ultimate Storm Wand Break (anecdote)

Ultimate ended. The turnstiles were impassible via car; we 4 parked before hiking toward the statue on East Rock. The thick tree-top canopy turned dusk to night. This is what Oz would have looked like if the wicked witch had won. I figured a disturbing joke might break the tension in this small party of […]

Rageaholic’s Anonymous (fiction)

My name is Gayorg Reynolds, and I’m a rageaholic. Growing up, I never fit in. Regular gloves, shirts, coats, and shoes never properly fit.

The Eternal Shore (poem)

There I was upon the shore. Ever walking in silent bore.I continued walking, never stopping,even when my legs got sore.There I was at midnight glance,and knew I had little chance,but kept on walking toward the light. Life has left and death has risen,hope to escape a following prison.I have always cried in this sad defeat,and […]

Laser Tag (poem)

I read Laser Tag on YouTube Laser lenses clean,fog is creeping near,two platoons convene,misting scents of fear. Blue and Red to battle,there is much at stake,echoing cries shall rattle,the very earth will shake! Photograph this picture:the scene surely mucky,a lone man quoting scripture,I’m so very lucky… Most excited/scared… I’m stoic.Proud Red! An honor… Heroic!

Guthries’ 2 Mystic (poem, anecdote)

Growing up at 2 Mystic Lane led to imagination, creation, and elation. The tales and tails of what grew here persisted, and will persist past passing. Fun, drama, strife, adventure, and dreams… flying turtles to pod-racers and trampolines! They broke their boundaries, bones, and even each other! Always getting the best of one another, rambunctiousness […]
