This world leaves me wanting. I hunger for the kind of change only a devastating global war can accomplish, a reset, if you will. Let the useful and skilled rise to the occasion while the rest of us serve as fertilizer for their crops.

Flailing your arms while screaming in my face will never turn my opinion to your favor. You mistake rage for passion, and any understanding I may toss your way is no more than an attempt to curtail that obnoxious mouth.

The fields are black, nothing more. No lifeless bodies lay at the base of hills as monuments to the power or folly of humankind. Most had no idea a war even began before they succumbed to the fires. There was little suffering, if that's any consolation.

It was supposed to be temporary. When I chose to embark on this journey, I intended it to last two years, at most. Now I'm trapped on a safe but meandering path to nowhere. I need something really bad to happen.

My outward facade hides a stormy mind. It protects those around me from a tumult of savage winds, crashing ice, and the thunder of lightning. Never look deep into my eyes unless you need to see the real me.

Boredom and routine color minutes as hours. Chaos is the caffeinated little monster who feasts on the monotony, leaving only crumbs for me to perceive. When time begins to stretch, rest assured I will cause enough conflict to lure that hungry monster out.

I marvel at the differences in two people the same age, the same gender, but possess a work ethic light years apart. Sorry boys. That girl who distracts you from doing your jobs isn't cutting it. She won't be around much longer.

Let's explore my options. I can be welcomed into your group if I promise to hate a large swath of people based on one or two beliefs, or I can be civil and friendly with everyone else regardless of our differences? I choose the latter.

The rules keep changing without ever acknowledging they were flawed in the past. I find it difficult to sustain my fake smile and exaggerated cheerfulness when they complain that I've been doing things completely wrong up to this point.

With a flash of light and the breath of gods, let us commence this war, and end it in a single act. History will never tell our story, for there will be no ears to hear it, nor eyes to read it. A true war to end all wars must usher in humankind's finale.

May Freyr brush aside the perplexing duality of summer's fire winds and water laden airs. During this autumnal equinox, I would gladly sacrifice my arthritic right thumb to never again fall victim to the furnace of mid year.

I got into it with another supervisor tonight. Those sanguine views I held regarding my future with the company are all but dead. There's also a not so small chance I may be physically harmed. If anything happens to me, remember the name, Niki.

My beliefs are an esoteric mix of heathenry and agnosticism. I believe that if we don't wipe ourselves out, in a thousand years we'll have the power of gods. Who's to say this hasn't already happened with another species? I pray they are Norse in nature.

There is no eloquence in my writing, no beauty, no flourish. My words are pitted hammers seeking nails, or a deserving face. I may pull my punches online and in person, but my stories tell the truth as I see it.

I'm an incredible joy to be with, and there's no one around to claim otherwise. Avoiding prolonged human contact fosters a wonderful naivete that expands my already fertile love of myself. I really like having me around.

I was created, or designed with an unforgiving mind governed by strict rules offering little to no leeway for outliers. Because of this, the mélange of compassionate souls on social media compel me to temper my public responses.

Intuition has been replaced with emotion, logic with empathy. The pendulum of human rationale has swung so far in one direction that it's restoring force will destroy nations.

A shimmering moonglade announced her apocalyptic presence. She is a weapon of war, a harbinger of death. Larger than kingdoms, more powerful than myth. For good or otherwise, she is the unbalanced end.

She inked a simple rune across the palimpsest. A slight squint of her eyes brought older, faded runes into focus, creating a layered bindrune far more significant than she understood at the time.

It seems everyone wears their feelings on their sleeves these days. At one time, I was adroit in my assessment of emotional pain, but the cacophony of hurt has become more noise than symphony, so I cover my heart to shut it out.
