Day: September 16, 2025

The forest seemed to close in on him.
He regretted being there that night.
An eeriness crept over the forest.
The darkness seemed to get darker
until he could barely see.
He heard something approaching,
suspected harm was coming.
Fear began consuming him,
he trembled, his body quaked.
But it was all for naught, just
two friends looking for him.

She had been beautiful. Her face was perfect.
She had a lot of work done on it, plastic surgery.
It improved her looks at first, but with more work
it began to wear on her face. In the years following
increasing surgeries, increasing declines in her looks.
Eventually she no longer looked like herself. Eventually
it wrecked her beautiful face.

Despite all the evil in the world,
goodness abounds.
Despite the murders, the rapes,
the pedophilia, goodness abounds.
At times when I feel down about it
I remember goodness abounds.
But I often wonder why we have
to have so much evil in this world,
why evil also has to abound.
Best I can do, is just try to accept
the world for the way it is, and
take heart in what I see is not
forever. When death comes, none
of it will ever affect me again.
