How to destroy the World

How to make food lose its taste:  First add one drop of sorrow to every bite.  Make sure it is mixed in well and if there are any lumps whatsoever, leave them.  They really help add to the texture and make every morsel sluggish as they try to lodge in your throat.  Serve it cold, like the shoulder of your lover in a crowded room as she passes you by on the arm of another person.  There can never be too much salt.  It will dry out the food and make chewing feel like your mouth is wandering through a forbidden and lost desert.    

How to cool the sun:  First make sure you tell the one you love that you can live without them.  Make sure they believe you, and go on living your life as if nothing in the entire world could possibly affect you.  Smile to your friends and enemies, and lie to everyone who ever cared for you.  Make sure you throw in the occasional night of passion with persons with whom you are not in love.  This is sure to make the sun feel less warm, darker, and more like the moon.  The moon is cold and will remind you that she is always present.  Sometimes she is in full view; other times only half of her may be seen.   Sometimes she is dark and silent.  But she is always just around the corner, waiting to remind you she is always going to haunt the night and disturb the day. 

How to make every night a sleepless one:  Be sure to keep the sheets cold.  A warm bed is the definition of a happy bed, so if you want to add in an ice pack or two, this will help.  You have to go to bed alone, no exceptions:  No friends to hold you when you cry, no animals to lick away the tears, and no books to pass the time.  A picture to hold of your loved one can bring on the chill, so this is always acceptable.  Always leave a light on.  Not a large light, but one small enough to display the shadows and pictures on the wall.  Don’t forget to cry into your pillow.  The wet tears make it impossible to get comfortable.  And once one side gets moist, flip it over and get the other side wet.  No matter what, under no circumstances do you sleep on your lover’s side.  Do not even move towards the middle of the bed.  This may warm his or her side and you may forget you are all by yourself.  The thought of this alone may warm your heart and possibly make the bed just a little bit warmer. 

If you can accomplish these things you are sure to destroy the world, at least for someone.

The Nightmare

A gasp broke from my lips and a sharp pain seemed to well up from the depths of my being.   The door slammed and the walls shook with all the feelings of vengeance and passion.   Then I heard it.   Like a paper-thin sheet of glass flicked by a fingernail, it rained down on the cold dry pavement.   Pieces of my heart bounced and shattered as they scattered across the room.   I could see every piece glisten like diamonds as the sun shone through the skylight in the roof.   My stomach seemed to come alive with every creepy crawly creature, moth, and butterfly.   My eyes welled up with tears and the sting of a thousand bees pierced my sight.   I could see only lights and shadows. But the tears - the tears would not separate.   They seemed to be on a tether and stretched down my face, but again refused to separate from my eyes. From outside I could hear the car engine turn over, only seconds after hearing the heavy white door close with a th...

Her Him Me

Her .   I drove by his house this morning and saw your car parked out front.   It was at this point I realized you were not coming home, and for the first time I feel a sense of peace.   A warmth came over me, and suddenly the nausea and dizziness were gone.   I could admit to myself that you were happy.    That never made sense before this, but a smile cracked my lips, and like never before, I felt joy and pride all wrapped into one.   I was able to let go so you could find out who you really are, and that made me content.   The long nights we had lain awake and talked about our future; our children, our hopes and dreams - they were nothing more than a gift I had been given in which I could say, I was there with her, and we were in love. I could tell the world that although a brief period in my life, I was loved by an angel.   I was wanted in fits of passion.   I was needed in times of distress and unknowing.   I gave sound advi...

Life After Law Enforcement; Leaving behind the addictions

Image
I've debated writing this for some time and it wasn't until speaking to my wife, that I decided it was time to put it into words.  My hopes in writing this is that I may help someone thinking about leaving the career and how they can get over the ADDICTIONS that come with the job. My law enforcement career started unlike others, because this was a job I never wanted and never saw myself doing.  I am what you call competitive.  I hate losing, I hate being showed up, I hate coming in second.  When I saw someone who I played basketball with in high school driving a patrol car, I thought to myself, I can do that.  I began to seek what it would take and after getting my AA in college, I applied to the police academy in Eureka CA.  I was accepted and uprooted my family to move away for the eight months it would take to complete the course.  Two months in, the academy was going well until I fell during a run and broke the ball socket in my foot.  I...
