Stream of Consciousness

The Philosophical Room
Not so long ago, mankind made tremendous technological advances from steam to electricity. Many assumed that these inventions would automatically bring people closer, making society better. Instead, Bergson warned, without a matching effort toward moral and spiritual growth...technology would deepen divisions rather than bridge them.

Fetterman's Wake
I'm the kind of asshole who would hold his own wake just to see what those closest — and not so closest — to me would say. To see if they'd even turn up. Ego, ego, ego; dies at death, or is it reborn and energized?

Spare Change
First payback—coins to me. I figured I miscounted. By the door: a ceramic bowl—keys, coins—a grown-up junk drawer. Pennies, dimes, and one stray token from a laundromat that quit before my lease did. I dump pockets there at night so tomorrow I don’t swear at a washing machine with hands full. Practical. Ugly. Normal.

THE COMMUNITY
“I said I didn’t break the TV, Awura did!” I screamed, tears streaming down my cheeks. “You are the eldest! You will take responsibility for any wrongdoing in this household,” he retorted angrily. He ordered me to go to my room and think about what I had done wrong – not preventing my brother from destroying the brand-new TV he had bought last month.

Cold Tea
I make tea when my hands need tasks. Kettle, bag, pour, wait—easy choreography for a brain that sprints indoors. The mug—chipped rim, familiar weight.

The Last Train Home
When Anna came the clock in the platform had struck eleven. It was now the evening before midnight and the station was almost deserted--only a janitor sweeping the floor covered with tiles, and a man sleeping on a bench. The cold made her breath cloudy as she stood looking down the tracks and their lines of silver becoming lost in the fog.

Study Hall
Study hall was a period in our school days that was meant for studying, but who really studied. Yes, you may have crammed for a test or completed an assignment. But actually, if you really think of what was really accomplished during these periods. Nothing really, but a lot of us maybe took short naps, read a book that we wanted to read and some even worked on various projects not related to school while a teacher proctored this time to make sure, we were present physically if not mentally. Shh, this is study hall now study. Yeah, right really.

School Days
School days always start at the lockers where we store our books, coats and lunches unless we buy the hot lunch. We gather around and catch up with our friends maybe ask for help with a homework question and checking when something is due or maybe even copying something to be honest. Gossiping about who, what, when, where and why something or someone happened whether fact or fiction. The lockers depending on where yours was located was also a place for a little privacy maybe for a couple or just for yourself to take a breath before the day starts.
