Finding The Right Wavelength

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 07, 2015 / 6,212 views

When I was a boy we had a small 13 inch color television set in our living room. It had a knob to change the channels on it. We rarely turned that knob, however. We lived in the country and our rusty, old antenna could only pick up one channel clearly. If it was cloudy outside, I could go out and hand-turn the antenna half way around to try and pick up a second network, but usually it was only static. When I...

An Apartment W/ No Furniture

By Vaper on July 07, 2015 / 4,222 views

I wake up everyday to an appartment with no furniture. Much like I wake up everyday to a soul with no spirit, no hope. I mean, I've got most of what I've dreamed about as a child. I have an amazing mother that sacrificed everything she had to raise me and guide me in the right direction. Even though he wasn't around in the beginning, being that he put himself in prison at such a young age, I can...

By Vow on July 04, 2015 / 5,273 views

Three years ago on this day, and for months after, I wanted to die. I had just lost the man I'd been in love with for four years in a tragic accident. He was also my best friend. When I say I wanted to die, it's strange because it makes it sound as if I was suicidal. But I was never suicidal. It's hard to describe the feeling and might be one of those things you can't understand unless...

Yesterday evening my car broke down on a dark road in between some fields. It was just past midnight and the chances of getting someone to stop there was very small.

Within 20 seconds a car comes driving from behind and stops to ask what the problem was; he had seen us get off the road and he figured we needed help, so he had turned around....

The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the water-way, and cars costing more than her house. The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The...
