My childhood home is haunted by five individuals. I have personally seen two of them, but have had experiences with all five. My college dorm room freshman year was also haunted.

For TheKnow. Shoot me a note with any questions!

That night, jazz reigned

An elderly gentlemen in a tweed suit twirled a lit up hula hoop, borrowed from the twenty-something girl in cut off shorts and a blue wig next to him. A cloud of cotton candy vape smoke drifted across the crowd, blending with the scent of fried pickles and kettle corn. On the stage, an emoji robot face created from fluorescent tubes provided a pulsing backdrop to a pianist, a saxophonist, an accordion player, and a man working an entire bank of synthesizers. My French wasn’t good enough to understand all the lyrics, but Caravan Palace had me just as entranced as everyone else who had stumbled on this unique corner of the Jazz Festival. I bounced up and down like I was in a European disco, while a young couple made enough room to waltz in front of me and two of my brothers shouted lyrics back to the chanteuse on the stage. In this crowd of old and young, listening to this blend of electronica and big band, I felt myself soaring. My heart pounded; my cheeks ached from smiling so widely.

They are all the same so why? Why does this feeling remain?

The Portrait

[975 words]You see, its hard to explain Jonathans words formed a small puddle on the expensive, imported carpet next to the shattered corpse of the china vase. His down-turned face was painted in shades of red; the light hue of guilt brushed across his checks with two bold strokes of embarrassment for eyes. It cant be that difficult, just come out with it.He didnt mean it, Daddy-- Emma tugged on Fathers sleeve.I'm talking to Jonathan. Father removed Emmas hand from his suit. Don't speak.I-I heard Emma shout from the kitchen and I thought she had gotten hurt so I ran to see what was the matter and on the way the vase...

The Weight of Dreams

Crushed under the weight of all your dreams and things you could have been, doctor, writer, artist. How, it all, you could have seen. But still your dreams drive you. You work, and live and breathe. But your wishes are just blown away kisses carried on the breeze. Because the weight of all your dreams is heavy on your back You struggle to keep afloat against the things you lack You're drowning, thinking of all the dreams that could have been but life's not over, your not dead It's not too late to begin.
