Lou Rasmus is an independent author from Chicago, IL. His works are largely focused on exploring the meaning of life – or lack thereof – while the themes of love, relationships, and self-loathing are also central to many of his stories. His upcoming novel, Primrose Isle, will be his third self-published title. Grapefruit Juice, a collection of bitter poems and short stories, and DEAD RED FISH, his semi-autobiographical debut novel about a young man coming to age on a road trip with his childhood friends, are also available on Amazon.

It’s between the wanting to and doing that your strength rests. Sometimes more alert and helpful than other times. I love this piece.

Death is only the beginning. I don’t think we do ourselves any favors by killing ourselves. Just makes the afterlife that much worse. Trade in our human woes for super natural ones?..Ehhh…I’m in no rush. Haha.
