My Only Friend

There is a breeze blowing west. At the top of the biggest tree there is a blue jay bracing in the wind. In my peripheral vision I see a black and white figure below me walking towards the bird. As I realize it is my tuxedo cat, I hear the sound of an engine struggling to drive up towards us. I look to the East and see a truck, I look to the North and see my cat. Then there is blood on my face. As I wipe it off to make myself recognizable, my cat is no longer recognizable. From Guest Contributor Ina Rose

To Not Be Alone

To not be alone is to be in a constant state of questioning. You question who you are. You question who they are. You question why you are with them. They question why they are with you. You question how to be with them, as they question how to be with you. But we all know that it isn't just you and them. There are things that haunt you. There are things that haunt them. So is it now that you are not alone, or were you always questioning? Were they always questioning? Truth is, now you are questioning together.
