Fever
My darling wife was becoming hotter by the hour and I was becoming more worried. I called the advice nurse, I gave her cool compresses. She is not responding to homemade soup, medicine or even my love.

Hunt
Like perfectly wrapped cellophane, you preserve us all inside your hallowed stone sanctuary. The dizzy, dry-mouth, too sweet coloration inside that remind one of too many chemicals and preservatives and fulgurating nature of this sort of hell-house that is insinuating us of its nature with a blinking lighted entrance at the front door, ———WELCOME ONE & ALL!———like an incessant wink of a licentious, creepy, old person… and the sensory overload of it all makes me want to run far away. But I can’t.

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, I thought what you said about about adding sugar to your coffee was clever, as you succinctly (my new favorite word lol) explained, life is bitter enough. I agree, but I’ll have my sweetness in chocolate and with my friends, and of course with you, my best friend!

Dear best friend
Dearest best friend, Oh, I’m so proud of you! I could hug you! You are such a wonderful and supportive teacher, I’m sure it is tough to say adieu to your students off to a new grade, but they’ll always have their awesome memories of you and your class! I’m very glad and proud of how you’re growing stronger and not allowing the false one to harm your beauty and destroy your inner glow, it makes me so proud and so inspired and happy for you! God is so good, and I know He hears our prayers even in the swelling, deep, thundering night.

Dear best friend
Dear my best friend, I’m lingering in the chasm of the unknown, my dark raven is masking their darkness with sadness. Deep down sadness and pity for not having power over me anymore. It makes them angry to not be able to manipulate my life down to the microscopic molecule anymore and sad because they realize their hateful ways didn’t get them anywhere.
