I am nothing but sad. The words that come out of my mouth are nothing more than dust particles in the air. The thoughts that run through my mind are like a tornado tearing up a town, unpredictable. I carry my body like a soggy towel hung upon a hook waiting to dry. These clothes I wear, only mask the outside of my body, not the inside. What’s on the inside is unseen, a black hole in space. I am a nebula ready to grow. Then I do grow, I grow so big I explode, into tiny little particles that look like grains of salt. I am nothing but particles now. Thoughtless, inanimate particles. I suddenly jolt my eyes open at the sound of my alarm ringing. I am not in tiny pieces anymore, I am whole. I am awake and now I have to face the world, yet I am nothing but sad.

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.

Gossamer
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.
