Ever wonder what’s inside?

Not opening it, but imagining the contents.

Viewing it held up to the light to get a hint.

Everything telling you not to open it.

Laying it down on the desk you try to walk away

Only you can’t.

Pushing you to your breaking point until you give up and rip the seal

Everything changes in that moment.

New Year (an acrostic poem)

Now everyone was counting the seconds

Excited about a new beginning, a new something

What changes were possible

Yet he sat on the couch and sipped his champagne calmly

Every day was his chance to begin anew, to try to right his wrongs

And that allowed him to find peace with himself every night as he went to sleep

Ready to celebrate a new chance, a new resolution, every day.  That was worth celebrating

Ponder (an acrostic poem)

Perhaps you should sit quietly and think about what if…

Or at least open your mind to the possibilities

Now that you see what is available, you can take action

Determine how to make the changes needed to get there

Everything action leading to the next, but…

Remember all that action stems from the moments of silence.

Wheat (an acrostic poem)

While being gluten free was not the lifestyle she wanted

Her choices were that or get sick as her body destroyed itself

Eventually she would get used to the changes in her diet

And find awesome alternatives to those things she loved to eat

The smell of fresh baked bread would always bring a tear to her eye

Time for Hope? (a 100 word story)

The scientists looked at each other, dumbfounded.  Their plan had actually worked.

The world’s problems in 3024 were almost impossible to get your hands around.  That’s why the invented a game.  Actually it was more of a simulation of what the world was going through now.  They then took that simulation and sent it back in time.

They kept watching the archived ancient website reddit for changes.  They finally found a post that someone had won the game.  They looked for more posts, but nothing else appeared.

There was a solution, so there was hope, but did that really help?
