I like to fix things
I like to fix things
I like the feel of a screwdriver in my hand
I like tightening the very last screw and having it hold
I like hearing the engine catch and start on a car after I’ve changed a part
I like pounding nails into fence posts and making them sturdy
I like the feel of a hammer in my hands
a screwdriver

I like to fix things
That’s why I thought I might like you

The King of Literature
You cannot hope to best me, the god of the kings, the king of the gods in literature!
My novels are great and sprawling and full of life and vitality while other novels hide in the dusty corners of the library shelves, long since forgotten and last checked out twenty-some years ago.

A Touch of Red in a Sea of Gray
Ella always loved it when the leaves began to darken. It was a nice break, in between the green monotony of summer and the gloomy gray winter. For just a few months, the world was a rainbow.
She liked to take walks during fall, down corridors of yellow leaves, red ones blowing across the path with a chilly breeze.
At night, the fog would lift and the skies would clear up and she would crawl out of her window and lay on the roof, staring at the stars. She was always an autumn kind of girl.
When the leaves began to fall however, she would carefully pick them up off the cold ground and place them in the special bag she always carried around with
They say that he comes with the red of the leaves.
They say that sometimes he can be seen, sometimes he can only be heard, and occasionally you can feel him.
They say that he’s a thief, a hero, the ghost of a drowned man; that he was ignored for years and slowly faded away. That if you acknowledge him he’ll smile and leave you a present, or that he’ll bring a vicious wind and drive you out of the park.
They say that once he stole the wallet of a visiting dignitary, that once he returned the purse that had been stolen from a young woman earlier that day, that he wanders around in search of his girlfriend.
