'Okay, here we go... Off we go to entertain some of these kiddos with some trick magic," I said as I approached the tall white picnic fence with a door from the side of the house. Shelly, my client for today, told me that her little boy, Colsen, wanted to have a magician for his tenth birthday. I, of course, I couldn't say no to the offer, and it wasn't for the money, mind ya. Just having to give these little minds of kids to be amazed and wonder is what I love to do with this profession. Kids are the best to show their expressions an...

“I Met Him at an Art Crawl” by Sean Sorce

"Isn't this piece lovely, Iris? This took me quite a bit to make," asked my friend Jasmine, aka Jazz, as I was staring at a piece of her artwork, just memorizing. I shook my head and responded with: "It really is. You did a fantastic work on it."That wasn't a lie for what my college friend has truly made such a masterpiece. More than what I could do with a paintbrush and some paint. I'll stick with photography as an art style, if I'm being modest.Jasmine made a breathtaking photorealism oasis placed in a desert which all seemed so vast ...

"How many stars are out?" I asked Darlyn as we lie in the trenches, enjoying one's company. For the time being. We've been scouting for a good four hours and so far, the enemies hasn't done anything for us to be alarmed anyways. So, we just ended up looking at the stars for the time being since we were on night duty. "I'm counting 56," he replied without giving much of a second thought. "Wait a dang second," I started. "There is no way you've counted that many in a short period of time. I'm calling your bluff, Darlyn." "Call what you what, ...

“The Endless Hallway” by Sean Sorce

"Where am I?" I asked this myself after opening my eyes to find myself in a strange and mysterious hallway. A strange and mysterious one where everything was all white but the doors which were all black. When I first woke up, I thought I was hallucinating or dreaming, but after pinching myself at least a few times I found out that I wasn't. I had somehow ended up in the middle of a hallway where there were no ends from what my eyes could see. Without my firefly of guidance to literally guide t...

I was placed on the other side of it on an empty rack, just hanging there waiting for someone who wanted a doormat.Yes, a doormat you can simply place in front of ...

[19] If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." That verse always speak volumes on how the world works and operates. People will always hate others just like ...
