Sorrow’s Prey

Chances are I’ll die today, don’t know if we can keep them away

The town call rises in the sky, the northern front is do or die

If I fight upon that field, I know I can never yield

But if I choose to stand afar, the burning will forever scar

Chances are I’ll die today, better death than sorrow’s prey

Another One Today

J.D Mullenary Sr., a.k.a. AbnormalVAverage, is a teacher and Esports coach based in Texas. He grew up on the beach in California, enjoying its temperate climate and boundless enthusiasm for life. After completing his first degree at nineteen, he felt that he needed to grow up and discover new experiences. With that in mind, he joined the military, earning a second degree in the process, and served for four years. After receiving his honorable discharge, he married the love of his life, helped raise his two sons, and returned to college with a focus on English and teaching. Now, he spends his time writing when he can, teaching students and Esports players the values of critical thinking, while still fostering all of the strays his wife brings to their home.
