Contemplating the bullet hole between the eyes of my best line cook, I remembered reading somewhere that Ailuropoda melanoleuca eats shoots and leaves.

But if it wasn't for his sacrifice, that shooter would have hurt so many more of them.

The older I get, the more I envy the fuck out of them.

She said she thought of me as a dodged bullet.

Turning to the cowering children, her smile turns into a snarl, "alright, you government funded bastards, you wanna stay together, work hard and never disobey otherwise I'll make sure there's hell to pay."

As I turned into my street, I saw it leaving my house slowly, sirens now quiet.

Two years later, she whimpers not because of the pain, but at the foolishness she now feels.

"All I can say to that is that I'm nostalgic for a time when punching nazis was universally considered a good thing." he said with a smile.

Nine hours earlier he simply drove to work, forgetting to drop his three year old daughter off at daycare.

Knowing and loving you will always be worth it.

Well the world chose violence for me at birth, but that's why I bought the extended warranty for my phone is what I'm saying.

He would've been 2 this year.

It's knowing you'll forever sit at the pearly gates waiting for me.

As the sun set in the evening he was still watching for their car through the window.

Every day her nurse at the Alzheimer's facility comes to sit with her, not the person Dolores waiting for but the only one there that can fill the space.

She kept talking about some family gathering we were at last year even though I had never met her before this morning.

The bird who had confessed his loneliness was bathed in love and meaning. 

A week later, the bird ate a berry he knew was poison, and the only ones to attend his wake were the eulogizing wind and pallbearer flies.

You just can't come with me.

Will trade for single seater.

I couldn't stop listening to the heartbeat of my rainbow baby.

Now I’ll never get my boyfriend’s ashes and the engagement ring he promised me.

As tears rolled down her face, she realized she should’ve wished to keep the happiness too.

And he has the gall to cry and say his dead father's car is the only thing his mom let him keep?
