He Dreams (Cho’s Parents)
It is evening. The setting sun gives off a soft, warm glow. Holding hands, they take a slow walk down a stretch of deserted beach. They say nothing, but walk, listening to the sounds of the waves making their way onshore. He looks at her, and starts thinking about how wonderful she is, and how... Continue Reading →

Midnight Studying
It's close to midnight. A cup of Kahlua Coffee sits in my tummy, doing its best to burn through my stomach lining. Too much Kahlua, too little coffee -- an accident, I swear. I've got a mid-semester test coming up next week. I'm studying -- reading my text. "How does a VPN work?" it asks.... Continue Reading →
The Invisible Girl
You walk past me, I pretend you're not there. It's not that I don't like you, I'm just pretending not to care. -- It's the only way I can think I'm still in control.
