Fiction: Therapy for the reformed witch
Disa Moore doesn't have anger issues but her boss insisted she visits a therapist for a month or else he'll fire her. So what if she sets a couple of people on fire and turns them to toads? You can't have a former witch to work in customer service at the mall and expect her to be nice when the customers are jerks.
    Here in a large white room, Disa sits on a white leather couch facing the therapist. Miss Cuttings sits with one leg crossed over the other and arms on the armrest of the couch. She is probably in her early thirties, a few years younger than Disa. Everything about the woman screams stress and disorder with her short hair in a ponytail with strands loose around her face, wire-thin eyeglasses slightly askew on the bridge of her nose and wrinkled white shirt and gray pants.  

Blog Post Appreciation

I like the idea of highlighting forgotten posts. So I thought I make a post for that. I could have listed a couple of my fiction pieces as those don't get many views but I'm not going to torture people with long reading but if you're interested in some odd stories, just go click on the 'writing' link below the header. Here are two posts that I thought needed some appreciation:

01 - Book Rants - September 2024 – I wrote book rants/semi-resembles to book reviews as how-to books which I thought was a fun idea for a less rambling post.

02 - The sadness of missing back covers for ebooks – I might have talked about this in a later post but I seem to have forgotten about this post as it was an older one. I still miss back covers when reading ebooks. I think they are needed in order for a book to be complete. I don't understand why they just took it off.

Feel free to leave a link to one or two posts from your blog that you think needs some appreciation. Or if you want, make your own blog post appreciation post with a whole list of posts that you want readers to take a second or a third look.

New York Street with Moon by Georgia O'Keeffe

Fiction: New York Moon
It was the view that lured him to buy the place but now all the buildings obscured everything except the moon.
    Drinking hot milk was what he did on weekends. But this Sunday night, he wanted a new habit. He made black tea and sat down on the couch with his hot mug with all the lights off.
    Tonight, the moon was his light. Its light filtered in through the opened light blue curtains. Usually, he would share the view with her - this New York moon with its never fading light. But now he turned his back on it. But he still felt its presence.
    The echo of a train ran through behind him. He took a sip of the tea. The hot liquid warmed him a bit. It was cold walking home from the hospital. Being a doctor was his dream but the job was now arduous and joyless. On the way, he had stopped to watch a tugboat guided a ship toward shore. The ship's flag waved in the wild wind. It had reminded him the only day he had ever sailed. He got seasick but he had never forgotten the freedom he felt being out there while the wind guided him along.
