Published on April 6, 2021April 3, 2021 by Yinglan1 Comment

I consider myself to be an easygoing person but of course, because of my doubtfulness, I am not certain I’m viewed as this person in some people’s eyes. In the past, I’ve had people give me conflicted ideas – people tell me I’m mean, people tell me I’m too nice and need to be meaner – you can see why I’d be confused.

Friday Fictioneers: Too Many Deaths

Published on March 25, 2021March 24, 2021 by Yinglan23 Comments

Alright, let’s see…

Winter’s night, ground full of snow, she meets him, keels over and dies.

Oh wait, he meets her, faints in her arms and dies???

I dream about death…

I write about death…

Wait, have I been experiencing bouts of existential crises?

Have I?

No!!!

Let’s start over…

The gal is looking to die and the dude helps inject the first dose of lethal injection into her arm and leaves. The next morning, he’s found outside, death by hypothermia.

Wait, didn’t I hear this in a play a few days ago?
