Baptizing Nightmares
Inspiration from an Abomination
My sister
had a seizure
tonight.
I thought
she was having
a bad dream.
Like she was
running away
from something.
Maybe she was.
It
caught up
to her.
I ran
to my mom's room,
waking her up.
Helpless,
all we could do
was watch.
When the ambulance
showed up,
they began
asking her questions.
She gave out
a laugh.
Which I thought
was the most
precious
thing
in the world.
Her laugh.
God bless
her laugh.
May her laugh
cleanse us
of any
and all
of our nightmares.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
