O'Connell Bridge - Pt. 3
LC walked in and saw Arthur and Big Mac lounged on the couch playing a video game. “Hey.” Mac looked over his shoulder, “Hey. There’s pizza on the bar. Some dude ordered pickup but never showed. Boss even tried to call the guy. Finally, we were ready to throw it out and I said, hey, I’ll share with my roomies cause—ya-know we ain’t got much money.” He said, 'cool,' so we get free pizza. It’s anchovies.”

The Bridge
Every Sunday morning, we met between The Five Lamps in the middle of O’Connell Bridge. It seemed like an apt place to meet before making our way to church. Actually, it was a bit more for me to cross River Liffey than for her, but nonetheless, it was our habit, and we made a game of guessing which side of the street the other would appear on. From our meeting, we would laugh our way to St. Michan’s Church. I so enjoyed those mornings of sitting with her in the 900-year-old chapel. It wasn’t far, then, to walk toward Keatings, a quaint café.

Stalker
I have a stalker. He is not invited but still shows up. He knows where I am, even when I do not. He is persistent in trying to speak to me, though I deny him my voice. He raises his hand to me, even when I fight back. He plans me into his future, even though we do not have one. He is crazy and acts as if this is all normal. I am crazy. I block him and we fight, and I beg him to leave me alone, but he still finds his way into my bed. I say "no" often, he hears "yes." He wants me though I have told him I do not feel the same. I am mean, I yell and slap him away from me, but he still returns. He is jealous of every face on my Instagram. He leaves flowers at my door. He leaves gifts on my car. He brings me food on days my kids are not home because he knows I will not cook for myself. He pays my check at restaurants I have lunch at before I can request the bill. How is he even there?

The Pathetic Moonlight that Stole Elise
It was a dark and stormy night. The sky’s anguish at the world could not be expressed enough through the aggressive pounding of rain on the forest floor, nor the howls of pain in the wind, and vengeance in the thunder. Lightning flashed like threats of sharp knives and swords to the tall and intrusive mountains, as the congregations of trees bowed down in repentant submission to the wrath of their supervisor.

Help Me
I hurt so bad. You would think that I would be numb to the pain by now. The punches and beatings I can handle. They came so frequent. If I wasn't being beat I worried about what was to come. Scared of my own shadow, flinching every time he touched me, wanting him and hating him at the same time.

The Origin of Valentine's Day. Top Story - February 2019.
I love history almost as much as I love the paranormal. I love learning about the origins of the holidays we celebrate. To understand the "whys." We celebrate specific days of the year without always knowing why we are celebrating them. The origins of those days becoming ingrained in our everyday lives got lost somewhere in the annals of time.

Becoming One
Money is one of those things we don't like to talk about. People can feel embarrassed or ashamed because they feel like they don't have enough or because they don't know enough about it. One of the biggest issues with money is with intimate relationships. We've all heard that money is the number one reason for divorce.
