I tried Tumbler this week and I just couldn't. Erased it in two days. Maybe I'm too old or uncool but damn, I just couldn't see what the point of it was. It bothered me that there seemed to be only a small percentage of original content. I also tried Twitter a while back, but … Continue reading Tumbler
So much of my true spirit is twisted and blamed on natural forces. Shamed into pulling back those words that count. Driving down my anger and need to shout. Fear that you may not like what I have to say and leave. Terror that I will show you the passion of my conviction and scare … Continue reading Allowed (Poem)
Prom Party Part 1 <-- click here to begin at the begining. 😁 "Help! Who is that?" Victor calls out. When he sees the round face and large glasses of Nelly Stenkler come into the light, he fights back a sob of relief. "It's Nelly. What's going on, are you okay?" she asks as she moves closer. Her wide … Continue reading Prom Party Part 2 (Horror Story)
You lit an ember and now it sears as it rolls around inside me. Reach into my chest and dig your fingers in, just clenching. Fill my lungs with filthy air, barely enough to feed my body. Invade my thoughts, whispering "I'm going to hurt you", never disappointing. Make me sick and tired in such … Continue reading You Again?! (Poem)
"If you don't speed it up, I'm going to leave you to the leprechauns!" Victor yells back to his girlfriend. Reminding her of the movie they'd watched the night before. Cindy's eyes dart into to the darkness of the surrounding forest. "Don't even say that Vic! I'm going as fast as I can in this … Continue reading Prom Party (Horror Flash Fiction)
Just when you feel you've battled your demons out of existence, think again. They wait, so calmly and quietly, for when you rest in bed. When you lie down, close your eyes and drift off to oblivion; they creep into your head. Sucking away dreams of tomorrow, stealing precious energy for thought, and leaving a … Continue reading Sleep Tight (Poem)
A short moment and an even quicker smile. I am yours. You speak and I can't hear, this attraction is so strong, it fumbles the words in my ears. I say something stupid, so dumb, but you don't mind. This is love. Us, we, our; a brand new language to use. New and wonderfully exclusive. … Continue reading Glances (Poem)
Last night didn't prove to be especially romantic for me. We spent a crazy amount of time just breaking into, and clearing houses that were already stripped bare of food. Not to mention, at an especially thick area of the canyon, during the beginning of our trip, I was forced to knife a teen-plaguer who surprised me by jumping out from a hollowed … Continue reading Just Another Apocalypse Diary Day 15 (Short Story Series)
I warned her... My sister, I mean. Sarah was always too interested in the Great Above and Abovers in general. I told her that you couldn't trust those vicious creatures that hunt our waters with one hand and poison it with the another. A few tides ago we found an Above creature in our kelp … Continue reading A Mermaid’s Forbidden Love (Flash Fiction)
This pen I chase is an evil saint, ducking and running while I flounder in guilt; blank. Only when I surrender hope of inspired genius does it tempt and slide right into my hand; words flow easily, mistakenly unending. Emotion runs dry and it rolls away disinterested; callous with my fragile confidence. I await the … Continue reading Unstable Inspiration (Poem)
