Weeping & Wailing

Three of them came to me, together, in the night. They were a packaged deal, I could tell. They were connected to each other for some awful reason, I was sure. They were dark and powerful, and they paralyzed me at the gates between waking and sleeping. 

I was suspended in this time frame for what felt like days.

They were here to keep me down, afraid that I'd make a decision and move forward with my future.

I wrestled and screamed out to my wife, who was sleeping with our sweet babies in the room next to me...

I remember my soul clawing on the headboard, as I struggled to escape these three beings. I was yelling, screaming, thrashing and fighting!

Why wouldn't Katherine wake and wake me from this nightmare of suspended horror?!?!

I recognized them after the fact, but in those moments between waking and sleeping I was bound to my bed by these three spirits that terrified me.

My sweet wife finally came in. "Honey, are you ok, what's going on...?"

She had finally heard me. I'd been crying out for hours, but she'd never heard me...

It took me minutes to convince myself that I was truly awake, and hours to experience the memories of it all. And days to sort out what I experienced and who they might be.

They were Weeping and Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth.

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
