The smell of bacon was better to wake up to than needing to go to the bathroom; the headache I had took something away from it though; why was I opening my eyes? Why was my body hot when the last thing I remembered was a breeze making my lighter’s flame danced as it lit Ernest’s cigar? I snapped up to a sitting position, out … Continue reading Meant to Be Episode 8: The Meal
I had to pee. My bladder, ready to burst, was obviously the reason I’d been yanked out of sleep; Pam moved on my shoulder, and even though I was ready to ruin my pants I took a moment to enjoy the situation. I lasted a second; I stood and she fell onto the couch but not out of sleep. James was spread out on the … Continue reading Meant to Be Episode 7: The Depths
James had wanted to check what’d already been written; I’d been locked in my room since. “Don’t be dramatic Eddy.” Pam said before another bang on my door. “Yeah,” James chimed in, his voice further away, “Neither one of us really care.” A slam at the end of that sentence, then, “The fuck, does your Mom hate you?

James and I used the start of the summer to fill our heads with nonsense; his preferred form was smoke, mine online articles, both served as equal wastes of time. One day he mentioned he knew a girl who had a crush on me through school; Pam and I went on a date that was awkward, pointless, was going less places than a two-time felon … Continue reading Meant to Be Episode 2: The Fair
Dum. Dum. Dum. I wished my heart would’ve picked a different word to thump out, besides it, the only thing in my ears was the buzz of the auditorium lights.They bled molten gold onto me, showcased the scatter formation of sweat that’d popped up on my face. The stream of latecomers coming through the double doors had finally slowed to a light trickle, the last … Continue reading Meant to Be Episode 1: The Speech
Meant to Be is my first book. At the time of its release I thought I had things figured out, that I was on the road to success; not huge or career-making levels, but buzz-generating at the least. I even got this interview, felt it a huge deal. In short, I thought shit was sweet. Fast forward to now, only two years later, and though … Continue reading 2 years ago…
