Isolation at water's edge

Currently I’m consuming toxins by staring at my phone & sipping Capri sun simultaneously.  I've started to go on 'staycation' trips with a group of friends recently. I'm not sure why. I don't really have anything to get away from in truth. I don't love my job, but I don't hate it. & I adore my bed, so why would I even pay money to sleep elsewhere? Perhaps I've succumbed, & I'm now conforming to social norms. I've become the very thing I hated growing up.  I took a much needed break from those very people today. It isn't very fun seeing the same set of individuals for a number of days consecutively. Maybe it's just me, I get bored with humans. My break began suddenly without even a warning to myself. I exited the hotel & I just started walking around the block & before I knew it, I was lost & finally at peace from recent recurring pressures. I didn’t have my wallet on me unfortunately, nor a timepiece or compass ...

A forgotten shade of life

A fortnight ago, I received a perculiar message from an old acquaintance whom I haven't seen in almost a decade over on facebook. It was truly baffling & comical that I felt I had to return from my hiatus & post about it.  This particular reprobate claimed that they saw me the week before with my wife & two kids. If you're wondering, yes, I am ridiculing this dirtbag of a human being. It's one thing to actually cross paths with me in the wild, as sightings of me in public are considered extremely rare, but to confidently assume a man like me could have his own family is ludicrous. I don't blame the guy for making such a terrible error, though. I don't think anyone outside of my small group of close friends even knows what I look like these days. Be that as it may, how in the world could you mistake someone else for me? It's beyond my comprehension. I have a memorably grotesque face. Plus I do not have the ability to reproduce. I'm impotent due...
