yes

I love the poems, and I adore the songs, but I listen to one now and again - I don’t really want to sit through the musical.

I would guess the wound is pretty gnarly and presents a lot better when covered, even if he has a prosthetic on place.  If it was just enucleation of the eye, I doubt he'd have a patch and most would be able to tell, but IED aren't known for leaving things nice and tidy in their aftermath

The post presents, “Trump is a rude, stupid liar but I support tax cuts for the super-rich and repealing Roe v. Wade” as an original Point Of View. It is not. 99.99% of Republicans support this POV and they have since Ronald Reagan became the first stupid, liar Republican president, followed by George W. Bush (his dad…

My godfather is retired Special Forces. He has done some truly incredible things for his country and deserves respect as a vet. He loves animals and is deeply involved in veterans programs in his area. He also holds some of the shittiest, misogynistic, hateful opinions and spouts them off and I hate getting gifts and…

My Air Force husband actually thinks being a Seal or any other special forces should disallow you from being in politics. So much of the training encourages that “us vs them” mindset that is so poisonous in politics. 

I am forever in the grays, but screw it! Also I live in a house in a quiet, small town in the woods by myself and plan on reading this until and scaring the crap out of myself on a regular basis. Full disclosure, I think I’ve posted this before, but I live in hope that one day, one of my scary stories will pull me out…

I really don’t know if this’ll be scary to anyone else. It doesn’t have a satisfying denouement, and I wasn’t even privy to all the details, as young as I was.

Crazy Demon Tree story!

My other post was embarrassing and real-life, so I separated the one that’s emotional and possibly-supernatural.

This verbatim a submission I sent in to My Favorite Murder as a hometown murder story. It wasn’t picked up by Georgia and Karen but maybe it will get seen here:

I have had what I would call supernatural experiences a few times in my life (thanks in no small part to spending a decade living on the oldest street in the country) but the encounters were not terribly exciting and certainly not scary. Fairly mundane stuff. However this year something happened that legit freaked me…

Last summer I was at my sister’s house discussing her cat Abby who was very sick and seemed to be on death’s doorstep. As we were talking I saw her other cat, Indy, run behind Abby and round the corner to the pantry. I thought to myself “Wow I haven’t seen Indy in forever!” and I rushed forward to pet her but she…

About four years ago my best friend was getting married in Galveston. She booked a reservation at the Ashton Villa, a historical mansion that is considered among the top ten most haunted places in Galveston (and considering the history of tragic deaths in Galveston, that probably means something). A week before the…

When I was a little kid, I lived with my great aunt for awhile. I couldn’t remember the address, but knew how to find it if I drove down the one road to get there. I then grew up a few hours away.

In college, I played in my University’s symphony orchestra and we took a trip to San Antonio, Texas for a performance. The school put us up in the Menger Hotel, a very fancy and well-known hotel that is situated right next to the Alamo in the center of downtown. The Menger is also famous for being haunted. I’ve never…

This isn’t spooky as it is eerie. My mother passed away unexpectedly in July. She had advanced atherosclerosis and had one of her feet amputated. She was in a lot of pain and did not want to go on anymore so she refused to eat and deteriorated and then passed. My younger brother was very close to her and has had the…

Okay so this isn’t a super long story but a few years ago the house I lived in in falls church was extremely haunted. I’m a scientist and I like to think I’m pretty rational but it was terrifying. I lived in a three bedroom house with two roommates and the house always just felt wrong. I never liked to be alone…

Yaaas I wait for this all year. Ok, ok. Here’s my contribution this year.

I might post a couple but they’re on my work computer but personal experiences.
