Bio
Eclectic stream of consciousness and dark surrealism. What photography does for life I do for thought, emotions, and experiences. The genres can range from romance to horror but my favorite is suspense.

Umbra: Chapter Two
She took the note in her hands, assuming it was from a distraught Orion or, god forbid, Massey, but she was wrong. The handwriting was foreign to her- chicken scratch. It was written so sloppily that it was hard to make out, like someone was in a hurry when they wrote it. Orion’s hand was messy but legible and Massey, surprisingly, had very neat, almost lyrical, handwriting. A thought suddenly occurred to her, how did this person get into her room so quickly? Orion had just been there and she had only been in the bathroom for five minutes. This scared her, who was sneakier than Massey? Perhaps Orion saw who it was when he left, maybe he walked right by the person and didn't even know it.

A Rock and A Hard Place
I recently went for an "interview". Felt more like an interrogation. Let me preface this by saying that this was an attempt at a transfer! It was a sort of internal interview. I wasn't trying to transfer from store to store BUT I was trying to transfer to another store chain owned by the same company.

The Brat
Great, another "meeting". I was sick and tired of this god damned manager. He just didn't know how to talk to people. He was one of those guys that talked 'at' people not 'to' them. I almost felt sorry for him since he wasn't experienced with our type of store. It was so big and had so many moving parts...so to speak. He bit off more than he could chew and like I said I almost felt sorry for him. He seemed to not like me at all, although he tried to hide it by being passive aggressive and joking. I'm not sorry for the way I am. If I know how to do something better I'll suggest it, there's no time to sugar coat things, this is work.
