I resign from resignation
I resign from resignation. I have had far too many times in my life where I have wanted to quit. Quit feeling so much, quit failing so hard, quit, quit, quit. I quit from being a quitter. I have had hundreds of rejections from my writing over the last few years. Yes, I am disappointed every time, but I can’t stop. I can’t stop even if a review I read says they think my characters are unlikeable. I understand other people may not like my work. I know that it’s hard to keep going. I feel I must.

Jonas’ story
The day my mother, Jaceline, was taken from me and my brother, Jacob, all my misconceptions on how zombies and humans worked were turned on its head, as my second mother, Bhavna, would say. Bhavna is a zombie but she was in the hoarde that saved us humans from the Bloodletter raids all those months ago. I try to remember my history, as well as the history of the world, even as everyone and everything always seems like it’s falling apart. My mother taught me Bible study lessons, history that was even before the zombie and human war that lasted over fifty years. I always gathered my strength from learning about Moses when he parted the Red Sea in Exodus.

Scene after Blind audition for an orchestra
“I’m just mediocre.” I echoed with a sigh. I couldn’t believe that one of the judges said that to me, and that I needed to study the music better, because I often played notes much longer than needed, or too fast.
