I tried again with the same results. Disappointed, I dismantled the time machine I'd built. It was useless. It only traveled to Mondays.

After our wedding, Amy and I discovered we were cousins. Our lazy parents had not searched far for our arranged marriage partners.

For selfish reasons, I lied to you. I said the heart attack didn't kill you. I was terrified at the thought of your spirit leaving me alone.

4am. You are awake. I am awake. Both of us breathing hard in our oasis of time before the kids wake up.

This story is about you. Without you, I wouldn't have made it through the hard times. I wish I could reach into the mirror and hug you.

I hit bottom when the circus fired me for drinking too much. Alone and miserable, I went where unwanted clowns go, the rodeo.

Perfect for each other, they lived a block apart, but would never meet. They lived in different worlds. His was Facebook, hers was Twitter.

I am at peace. My enemies all dead. There is nothing I need to do. I live in the moment now, enjoying the sunlight in the window of my cell.

"Do you like snakes?" asked Mom. "Not really" "Good!" she said tossing a python into my room. Part of her plan to prepare me for the world.

My heart leapt when I saw the star tattoo on your face matching mine. I'd found you, my pre-arranged marriage partner chosen by the state.

The sweet sound of your voice coaxed me out of my crypt. I never was able to say "no" to you.

By now you've realized your brakes don't work. I'm sorry. I'm not very good at goodbyes and thought this be easier for both of us.

After listening to his problems, I felt some sympathy for the Devil, but I still billed him for the therapy session.

The comforting sound of a scream in the kitchen followed by the noise of the blender, let me know I'd soon be fed. No one cooks like Mother.

I enjoy my walks at twilight. It's my favorite time of day. The moments between light and dark, good and evil, boredom and victim.

Standing in front of you, I protected you from the gunman, but as the bullet approached, I saw it had your name on it, and stepped aside.

I jumped out of the airplane trying to catch you. On the way down, I realized if you wanted to get away that bad, I should just let you go.
