Exercise 275: You love the city at the night. The lights. The people. The atmosphere. It makes you feel alive and reminds you why you stay alive. And on really tough days, nothing makes you feel stronger and more powerful than jumping from the highest point in the city and seeing the faces of the […]
To prevent anymore in-flight hijackings, the Government has decided it best to arm all the passengers with pistols. Does this help or harm? In theory it was a brilliant idea. Arm the passengers on a plane with Derringers. No one can take it hostage. However, in practice, theories always have at least one thing you […]
Comic con is over. Time to get back to my real life and make plans for next year’s comic con. In the mean time, in lieu of a flash fic last Monday, I have done two for today. Here they are. “We don’t take things like this kindly…” “We don’t take things like this kindly,” […]
So, I missed this weeks edition of 5-Minutes. I kinda have a good reason. I was busy packing Monday for my flight on Tuesday. And in the midst of hanging out with one of my sisters whom I don’t get to see very often…I completely forgot. Well, I’ll have to wait to til next Monday […]

“What if there is no heaven?” Micah said. I looked up at him from my Life magazine and bowl of cereal to stare at him. I told Mom that boy needed treatment. Hell, for $50, I coulda solved all his problems. “I mean, did you ever think about that, Mary” he asked. I knew where […]
