The canteen at his side was dry. He had given his all and had nothing to replenish his parched soul with. Was there even a drop left in there? He turned it up and what spilled out was a life, lost life, drained to bare walls and bottom.
Light the torch and watch it burn. As it smolders in my hand, smoke wreaths around my ceiling fan. I do not care. Let it burn. Let it burn. Why can't anyone hear the smoke alarm now? My make shift light dims then fades. It is gone, and so's my life.

Mole on my neck hurts like heck. Yeah, it's a speck that hurts like heck. Yeah, I got nothing. Nothing but this freakin' mole on my neck.
Oh, man, I'm so tempted to write about what happened this morning. So tempted to write about the juicy bit of something that crossed into my field of influence. But I cannot. It's not for just anyone to read. So, what should I write about today? Nothing tempting. Nothing about ... well, gotta go, I only have sixty seconds.
