The difference a letter makes

I've started attending these meetups called Wednesday Writing Sessions. So we basically just write random stuff with a single prompt (the prompt for this session is now the title of this blog post) This is from one such session :) Today, with the advent of rapid means of communication (thanks to the internet), a letter can make all the difference between rearing ducks and rearing fucks. Our communication with friends and family is often riddled with typographical errors galore. The following is a story of one such typographical error that cost a young man his job and his peace of mind for many weeks to follow. There was once an ambitious young man who had all the motivation in the world to see his dreams to fruition but was blessed with nay a morsel of Duck. His frail body often succumbed to the wrath of the diseases swirling about in the Hair around him. His visage hadn't seen the sharp edge of a razor blade for many months and his countenance breathed of homeless.

Pondering in a tram

Forgive the weird poem. I found this in my Evernote notebook now as I was clearing out some stuff. Looks like I've written this on one of those many lonely tram rides :P As the tram snaked it's way through the city, I felt little else but pity, For one with nay a piece of wool, To keep him not lost from the gene pool. As we sing 2016 her swansong, And hope the next ain't so long, I hope we don't forget to mourn, From homes, people torn. We forget the others oft, When our lives go rather soft, But as much as we hate the hate, We do little till it's too late. As I sit in this tram, pondering life, I pity the soul who lost a wife, For we rarely stop and start to think, Of shit that happens within a blink.
