Golden Parachutes On Monday mornings I wake up with dread.My heart is pounding, gut heavy with rocks,Exploding pressure cooker in my head…Bracing for chaos as I punch the clock.

The Autumn Storm
The Autumn Storm Outside the rain clattered,pounding on my windowpaneas the autumn winds rumbled,thrashing like a hurricane. Dread ran deep in the black night,sharp lightning cut the skies.Sparking bolts struck the ground,impervious to my fervent cries.
