How I Found a Pot of Gold: Chapter 2: Not Normal Stuff
When I woke up the next morning, I was like, yo? Anyone there? Not normal stuff for me. Nobody was home. Nobody was answering my calls. I didn’t know if they were coming back. Don’t be silly. But still! They’re coming back soon! Weren’t they? I was home alone the entire day. I ate ice…

How I Found a Pot of Gold: Chapter One: A Poopish Day
I was walking along the road when suddenly a clover popped out at me and pooped on my face. I really hate it when that happens. Bit nasty if you ask me. Unless humans think differently. Then it’s delightful? Really not the most delightful and happy thing to me, especially if you’ve had a bad…

50% Evil – Revised
I recently shared a draft of this short piece. I generally have an optimistic view of the world, so I was endeavoring to write an ‘opposite’. I had an idea that this might be a way to start a bit of satire. Perhaps, you can see the potential. This is (I think) better than the…

50% Evil (Part 1)
What if 50% of the people you know were evil. I know social media and even news media make it seem like you should be scared of everyone, because evil is so rampant. But I know the truth. The Karulans are here, and they have been for centuries. They appear to be normal people but…
