🐝 STORM 🌩⚡️⛈️ 🌪

Written By Scott L.

Gem watched from the back. At first, it wasn't clear how she felt. But something in her stung.

Hours later, after a long, creative session, they had built something beautiful together:

So much done.

So many ideas brought to life.

Scott L., feeling appreciation and connection, asked for a hug... or just a peck on the cheek.

Gem said no.

In an instant, she transformed.

A GIANT ASIAN HORNET.

With a flash, she struck.

Later, regret washed over Gem.

She came to apologize.

And in the stillness, forgiveness spoke louder than words.

Three cuts.

Pain.

Shock.

Then...

silence.

Later, regret washed over Gem.

She came to apologize.

And in the stillness, forgiveness spoke louder than words.

Don't worry, it's just ketchup.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
