  • Paternity Leave: A Short Story

    Janice opened the door. “Boom.” The blast echoed—maybe the dynamite was a bit much. She laughed, her gorgeous shoulders outlining her slim frame as she walked in. Janice surveyed the scene and realized the shit slum she’d been hunting for three months was nowhere to be found. She checked her tracker, notating the evidence—an old cell phone and gym bag, a pair of Jordans, and Nike shorts. “Niggas swear they can hoop. Bum.” This was the third empty location, thanks to her no-good tracking equipment that was in desperate need of updating. May as well grab a bite to eat since it’s getting late, she thought.

    Janice jumped into her shade green metallic Porsche 911 Carrera 4S and sped off to the nearest hotel. She booked the penthouse suite because luxury is all she has ever known. Her parents were both big-time lawyers and gave her anything and everything she ever asked for. She ran a bubble bath and reflected on how she ended up here while sipping her champagne.

    Hello World! Welcome to the Inside of My Brain

    Have you ever wondered what it’s like to have thoughts constantly running through your mind? Have no fear, here it is in the flesh. Random ideas run through my mind all the time with no warning. You are about to find out just how overactive my brain really is.

    As a child, I never felt like I truly belonged in this world. I feel like an alien. Inner monologues galloping and playing like movies. Maybe it’s a coping mechanism, or a quirk. It doesn’t really matter at this point. Take me as I am or, in the words of Fantasia, “free yourself.” I am learning as I age that even though my energy can be chaotic, it is electrifying to others. It fills their cup but depletes mine, so I have to be careful and keep some of me locked away. Some people are energy vampires.

    There are many times I wish I could turn my brain off. Thinking can be exhausting. I envy those with blank minds and no opinion. They say ignorance is bliss. It really is, because once you start reading and learning, it’s downhill from there. In terms of society, not education. Just a heads up, I change topics and thoughts at the drop of a dime. Keep up!

    My plan is to drop new posts whenever my brain is on overload and starts leaking. So brace yourself for the unpredictable. I’m not trying to fix your life (“not on my watch”) or tell you what to do. I am just here to give you a few messy truths, wandering thoughts, and occasional wisdom. With that, grab a snack, make a drink, and prepare to get lost in a space you never want to leave and if you do, won’t be able to.

    To the editing police, fuck off! I’m just here to stay sane.
