The Lost One
Let me ask you a question—a question that appears so simple, but requires intense, deep thinking. Do you know what love is? Throughout my life, I have been searching for the perfect answer to redeem my curiosity but still I am so...lost.
Chapter 1
Beautiful. Surreal. Perfect. I lazily stroll through the woods as I make my way home. While I gaze throughout the wonders of nature, I constantly wonder what the trees are saying to each other as their leaves whistle in the wind. The flowers bloom beds of petals, showing their beauty off for the world to see. My favorite part about being in the woods is listening to the birds sing away. I wonder what it would be like to be a bird. To let my wings fly high in the sky and know that there’s no chance of falling. Falling... hm.. I hate that word. Not so much the word, but the thought of it. Have your ever fell? Figuratively, of course. I have many times. Still yet, no one is there to catch me. Why am I so.. alone?..

First Starlight of Summer
Your whole being is constituted by yearning. You miss the stars but have never seen a fully-realized night sky sparkle to life before your eyes. You write things, funny but short but profound, emulating the archaic cosmos that turns by its own unknowable calculus emulating love in all its celestial glory turning in that same cryptic way, but fully know neither and hardly know both, and it feels disingenuous, so you write about writers. It feels vaguely masturbatory, but it’s funny but short but profound and it impresses the people around you enough, so you run with it forever until you can’t anymore.
