Book Man

Story Time: The other day I went to Chapters to buy some books for a class I'm taking next semester. Being an avid Chapters client, I quickly went to the search engine and started trying to figure out which section to go to. The store manager, an older fellow asked if I needed help and …

No means no

"It wasn't that bad" he said. As he tore himself from my bed. My body was raw and sore, because he kept insisting on more. I had let tears roll down my face, but still he kept at pace. "It's not rape" he declared. Claiming that I had been prepared, When I said yes an …

The End

The manifestations of my anxiety

So I'm printing them out and I notice that the first page isn't in colour. Because this isn't a colour printer! Shit! Stop Stop Stop. Buttom mashing leads me to accidently …

The Cost of life
