The Day the Dead got Lively
Like most young children I made the mistake of trying to bite my ma when I was a toddler, and she gave me holy hell. Here we are Thirty Eight years later, and she’s bitten me but all I have to give her is love. Well, I guess she isn’t really herself anymore. She looks like herself but also doesn’t. Nobody’s home. The lights aren’t even on. The electric works but the power has been transferred to a new supplier. The thing you need to understand is that my ma died today, but then she woke up and I don’t know what lives in that body now but it isn’t her. I keep trying to tell myself it’s her but ...

Just Camping
"Wake up, it's time to go camping!" said my dad as he pulled the blanket off of my head. I groaned, going camping with my family was never much of a treat; there was usually lots of burnt food and at least one tent cave in. Still, my dad had been talking about it for the past few days so I managed a weak smile. It was like he was getting the idea every time he turned on the news. He'd start to watch it then start talking about all the fun times we had had camping (definitely not fun on my end), and switch off the tv. I guess today was the day... I rolled out of bed glanced in the mirror at my ...
