Moonless Nights

I live life everyday thinking that one day it won't come to an end. And as this year ends, I realize that there was a very hurtful but valuable lesson learned this year: Life can and will come to an end when you less expect it. It doesn't ask any questions and it doesn't give you a sign. Things of materialistic value is worth nothing when your life ends and what you leave behind of value is the love and the people whose lives you touched. 2015 will begin without my friend John who one night after talking to me on the phone sat down to read on his chair and died, I want to make sure that in 2015 I do a lot more things than I did in 2014. I have big plans for me and I want to make sure that this new year and the years that I have left to live, that I live them to the fullest because I just don't know how much longer I'll be here to continue writing and continue enjoying wonderful moments with my friends and family. Even though this isn't something that people wan...

Diosmary Not even distance can keep us from being as close and as connected as we are. You are a beautiful and intelligent woman. You have all that it takes to be successful and I hope that everything you want of life you receive. You are an amazing human being and a wonderful sister to me.

Grayish 2, Introducing another character. “ I can't give you one more drink. Legally Denise, you are drunk.” The bartender handed her a glass of water. “If you keep drinking this way...” “ Tony, please. If I have to hear another of your stories...oh.” She leaned her head on the counter. “I think I would prefer to just shoot myself, let's leave it at that.” “ Good thing your apartment is upstairs. I mean, not a good thing but at least you don't live far so that I would have to worry if you cold drive or not.” “ I'm fine, I'm fine.” Denise could barely get up. “ Why do you drink so much, huh? Are you ever going to share that little secret with me? I'm curious.” “ Ask my mother. She stressed the shit out of me. This is why I'm so horrible. If she ever cared to call me it was simply to remind me what a horrible person I was. All this time I just wanted my mother to love my a little, you know?” “ You're doing well with your life Denise. Y...

An excerpt of a short story about sibling love. This is something I wrote many years ago about a depressed and hurting Alexandra in her teenage years. It's a reflection of my own teenage years in high school. “I loved it when they would take us to the ice cream shop after the beach and allow us to eat as much ice cream as we wanted.” Daniel said. He was standing behind her. His eyes filled with tears. “Oh and the picnics and the road trips…we had to be the luckiest kids ever. We had the best father and mother in the world. He might be gone Alex, but we still have mom and we still have each other. I-I’m so tired of arguing with you…I don’t want to argue with you and neither does mom.” “I killed him.” She cried. “I felt like I knew everything just like now that I’m a teenager…in high school and all. But back then I thought I could do things on my own.” He walked to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. “I didn’t realize what I was doing…I killed him I did I should...
