The Fight - Aftermath

BANG, BANG! BANG!! Upon the cell door

I scramble from my wrist to see more

At first there's no response from the guards

But! One, then two stride across the yard

Then the sergeant arrives, Nay! But two!

What to do? It's a zoo of the downtrodden and waste-

Of humanity.

The response? They haul out the cell mates

Make for the segregation cell and wait

For the sergeant. Who has the last call

Is it a weekend in the hole? Another stall?

Then the call, " Fuck you" is heard -

Uttered by the rat in frustration at the word -

He is to endure the harsh reality awaiting him

We all clamor to see more. Is that a war? A fight?

There's only speculation, but with all his might

The top brass leads the prisoner away

E'en The man still screams. Nay!

Yells at the correction officers deciding his fate

At the gate, to await a prison within a prison

The show is over as quickly as it started

With only a blanket and some canteen is carted

A way to another place within the prison

Yet! The screams continue down the hall

Echoing down the bare walls, he calls -

For who knows who or what

Your Go Bag should be sturdy and easy to carry, like a backpack or a small suitcase on wheels.

The Horse Lord

The horses hooves slashed through the air, narrowly missing the man's throat. Only the nimbleness of the leather-bound warrior with decades of practice could have dodged that kick from the powerful warhorse. The dirt and dust flung into the air, hung low like a choking fog. A loud whinny in anger brought a tight smile to the lone warrior; He heard the attack from behind, before he seen it. Two massive front hooves came crashing down from above! The charging horse lashed out, pawing at the air trying to hit the man, but found empty space, as the nimble fighter sidestepped and brought a hard wooden pole cracking down across the front forelimbs of the majestic animal. He broke out grinning, “You missed Reazghul”, he announced, only to barely jump out of the way as the huge head of the warhorse arced upwards with tremendous force. The fighter back-flipped away from the charging beast. Two more of the massive heavy horses attacked without warning, flanking the fighter who was arm...

I'm Coming Home

The fly buzzed loudly in the hot summer sun. It circled and landed on the old man's faded blue dress pants. He barely noticed as he sat quietly watching the crowd; the hum of the old fighter planes overhead drowned out the gasps of the spectators and the squeals of the children. It was a magnificent, sunny, summer day in Tillsonburg, and wispy white clouds slowly sailed by on a endless carpet of blue. The gathered ensemble craned their necks to watch the aerial acrobatics in absolute amazement as skilled pilots expertly demonstrated the finesse of the Canadian vintage airplanes overhead. The fly started to pester the man sitting in the wheelchair. He tried vainly to chase it away, but his wrinkled hand was too slow. Many years ago, he may have been nimble and quick, but now his hands were gnarled into a claw by arthritis, and spotted by age. The bothersome insect buzzed his face and it was all he could do to purse his lips and blow, trying to shoo the fly away. No one noticed ...
