Every person and every place has a story to tell.
Do you drive by old homes and wonder about the lives of those that built them, lived there, loved and lost?

There's a little bit of 'me' in every story - but I do include a very sneaky little element in each story - that revolves around my real name (Mackie is my pen name) - so those who know me may pick up on this little reference.(less)

Topics Mentioning This Author

“What's the worth of sadness in front of happiness?
Like a leaf that's blown away by the wind.
What's the worth of despair in front of hope?
Like a dirty stone that's thrown in a clean pond.
What's the worth of chaos in front of peace?
Like a flying kite that's string has been cut down.
What's the worth of disunion in front of the union?
Like a fish that's breathing but not in water.”
― Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

Lea Davey
“Where have the years gone, Ruby Rose? Sometimes I have to stop and think about how old I am. When I wake up in the morning, before I move this tired old body or look in the blasted mirror, I swear I'm still a young man. It just feels like yesterday. I don't know how it's gone so fast.”
― Lea Davey, Silkworm Secrets
