She is
my beloved bitch
who beguiles me constantly
with her edgy commentary
and hard core comedy
A fiery brand of sarcasm
so appealing to me
I just had to
surrender to inevitability
and marry her sassy ass

When the side character keeps interrupting… then suddenly gets themselves killed off
Me: “Please just stay quiet and survive.”
Side character: does the exact opposite.
Author: deletes them immediately.
Why do side characters always volunteer for danger like they have extra lives?

Low lying clouds in the mountain town of Whitefish, MT. The colors of late fall are accentuated by the gray above and among the trees and mountainside.
Transient Companions
I love it when the clouds hang out in the village like they want to be temporary members of the community.
