Got anxiety? Saddled with OCD? You've probably got some intrusive thoughts flash-banging through your head. Unbidden, Gentle as a scream. Out of left-field or out of hell. Even after thirty years of battling these mental gremlins, they still get me.
Now, it's my turn.
Turning to the ancient Crypto-Minoan script (a yet-to-be deciphered syllabary) as my language and the bright, life-affirming colors (that keep this girl smiling through the worst of years) as my voice, I have put my intrusive thoughts to paper.
Why?
Mental illness doesn't make you ugly, it makes you colorful.
Flash-bang that, my gremlin friend.
("L.A. Sundogs" is the first work in The Flash-Bangers Collection)
