Alcoholism Stories

" Otillia Cobb slouched in her chair waiting for her 6'o'clock appointment. She had already read through all the magazines and was close to leaving the office, before a tall and slender man in a long, black coat, and a brown, leather bag, slung across his chest, and a silver watch on his left wrist walked into the office. She watched him walk to the front desk, and she moved to a closer chair to hear his voice. 'Uh, Reid, for 4:45 with a Dr. Vidaurri?' He enunciated every word of his, that made him sound very smart, maybe even a little nerdy. To her, he was cute. 'I've got you, have a seat, and he'll be out in a moment.' The receptionist said, clacking on her keyboard. 'Thanks,' he muttered and sat down, in a random chair by the table with all of the magazines. Glancing at the clock, Tillie stood up and sat down next to the man. 'You new here or something?' " Otillia, Tillie, Cobb hid herself behind a mask of who she used to be. She hid her dark and destroying issues and illnesses behind flowers and fake happiness and contentment. Her problems were her own, and no one else needed to know or be burdened with them. Dr. Spencer Reid didn't hide, but he did deflect and ignore. His job kept him distracted enough from his own problems. But when his higher ups decide he needs help, he meets a girl. He meets her at 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒚. Disclaimer I don't own Criminal Minds, only my own characters and plot lines.

Brunson's Verse is a collection of poems born from dust, silence, and firelight. These pages carry the weight of love, loss, and survival - stitched together with the grit of small-town roots and the wide-open sky. Some verses whisper, some cut deep, and some linger like a desert storm. Each one is raw, unpolished, and permanent - a reminder that even in the quietest places, stories echo. Plus, the occasional funny story, to lighten the mood around the campfire. And so it's not awkward while roasting marshmallows.

She had a perfect boyfriend, she was on the dance and cheer team at school, she got good grades, and spent her free time volunteering at the local retirement village.

I wrote this poem in 1987 during the time of the Ethiopian famine. Last year I changed a couple lines, and this is my updated version. When I first wrote this poem I was only 18 years old and hadn't had children yet. Now after nursing 7 children, I realize the mother in the poem was also dying because she didn't have enough calories herself to produce breast milk for her baby. This collection of poems/stories deals with world wide issues and life struggles. I have poems or stories on most of these subjects, but just gradually publishing them. I usually write poems that other readers might relate to, but I realize that some material will be sensitive to some readers. Please note: not trying to offend anyone.

Two teenagers fall in love while their families fall apart.

When Charlotte opened her eyes one morning, she found herself lying in dark sheets she had never seen before. Sheets that smelled unfamiliar, resting on a mattress she was definitely sure she hadn't fallen asleep on. She had never seen the four walls of the room she had woken up in before. And as she groaned and pushed herself up - pain stabbing through her temples - she realized that it wasn't just the bedroom that was unfamiliar. Her body was, too. Sebastian had admired the new farmer from afar ever since she arrived. But between his best friend's blatantly obvious crush on her, he had never seen a real chance to actually talk to her. And honestly? He had been fine leaving it that way. At least, until now. Because suddenly, he was closer to her than he had ever dared to hope. The Wizard spent his less-drunken days helping the residents of Pelican Town in his own, peculiar ways. But this time, he had truly outdone himself. Swapping the bodies of two people so fundamentally different? Now that was a masterpiece.
