    Warning: Violence, death, references to child abuse and to transphobiaThe tea was still warm by the time he got back. Mikey took a sip of it slowly, wary of his trembling hands, and waited for his heartbeat to slow down. It was oolong tea. He had started drinking it ever since he heard that it was great for reducing anxiety. Last time he saw a doctor, she had recommended that he cut down on the workplace stress (when he replied that he was an EMT she had winced and suggested yoga). He took a deeper sip. His heart throbbed. Outside the house, it was quiet. That was pretty typical for a subpisio...lgKone door

Jingle Bells played on the intercom, tinsel and twinkling lights beaming joyfully from all the stores wi...lgKone door

    The Happiest Days Followed By the Darkest

     The wood; so tame, peaceful to what things are today. I remember what happened like it was yesterday. I went into the wood at around age 18 where I lost myself in the natural wonders of the world. I learned to survive off the land and nothing but. I learned when to bend a knee to mother nature. And I learned when she should bend hers. I worked the land in the summer to pay for it. I worked it for fur, crop, and meat. The original landowners said when I was about halfway with the payment. That I had earned my share of the land. And that what I had given them would suffice. The natives of Alask...lgKone door
