Hot Flash: Remote

The device was bulky, and cutting into his leg. Why couldn’t someone make an ankle bracelet that looked like delicate jewelry? He’d rather have a girly contraption than feel like he’d been caught in a hunter’s trap.The sudden pain told him that his captor had found the remote.
Who is his captor? Why did they put an electrified ankle bracelet on him?

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.
