Parboiled (150)


The table was a mess, paper were all over the floor surrounding it when she walked in to find him. He was under the table on his knees with his hands covering his head howling in frustration.

“What in the world are you doing?”

“I’m trying to find something.”

“OK but did it actually require a small tornado to help you?”

“Stop being a jerk and help me look for it.”

“What are we looking for?”

“The definition of parboiled."
Why does he need the definition? What is his test for? Why is it so important?

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.
