“Being a creature of the night, it is an obvious spirit animal.”
“Ah, so you identify as a skunk?”
“That’s not funny, Gordon. Do that one more time and I take back the spotlight.”

Get Paid (an acrostic poem)
Ginny hated volunteering with a passion
Even if it was for an awesome cause like the animal shelter
That’s why she was in such a black mood, but she was there
Patrick came in, happy to see Ginny showed up
As he handed her her favorite coffee he turned up the wattage of his smile
It made Ginny rethink this whole volunteering thing
Dollars weren’t the only currency around

Animal Manifesto (a 100 word story)
No one ever sets out to become a killer. There is always an inciting incident that pushes one to cross that line from believing human life is sacrosanct to it being discretional. It can be trauma, either real or perceived. It can be reprogramming of the brain, either willingly or not. It can be the realization that humans are still animals and as such not special. That’s what happened to me. Now I sit here at my keyboard with this manifesto on the screen and wonder if they will remember my middle name. I’ll never know of course. Carpe diem!

Carbon (an acrostic poem)
Crispy bits of animal matter
Attached itself to the grates of the grill
Reaching blackened status, then beyond
Onyx char that hardly remembered what it had once been
Now only fit for archaeologists and garbage collectors
