As the car door slammed, he murmured, “This is getting too dangerous for both of us”

“Easy for you to say,” Shay responded, “You’re a car! If you get shot up, you can just go to a mechanic. If I get shot up, I’m dead meat!”

He didn’t technically have eyes in the same way a human had eyes, but if he did, she was sure that he would have rolled them at her incredulously. Despite the high quality le...

“Everything I do… I do it for YOU!”

“Please, Adrian… Please, just- just put the knife down!”

Every time she took a step back, he took one step forward.

“But I love you, Cammy… I love you, why won’t you believe me?” His tone was calm, but his eyes were crazy, and the sweat that had been gathering at his hairline was beginning to slowly trickle down his face.

It was getting dark outside, but the...

Red blood coursing through my veins,

Rumbling through me like a hurricane.

Racing fast, against the clock,

Ringing in my ears, but I couldn’t stop.

Roads of broken cobblestone,

Ruined cities overgrown.

Rotting corpses line the street,

Refusing to accept defeat.

Red blood coursing through my veins,

Release me from these mortal chains....

When you were just a kitten we said our first “Hello”, for 19 years I had you and it it’s all I’ve ever known.

I loved your soft head and whiskers and every other part,

And every single step you took left a paw print on my heart.

You were made of starlight, and you lit up my night sky,

But you could light up anything with that twinkle in your eye.

And when your bones got brittle and your fur had...

Quick, ragged breaths.

Jogging down the street.

Eyes watering, feet knocking on unyielding pavement

Zebra crossing, yellow lines.

Voice hoarse, needy;

“I Must. Acquire. Xmas gifts!”...

We never needed music when she took me by the hand,

We’d dance around the room to an imaginary band.

She tucked my hair behind my ear,

She never said a word.

Her eyes sang every love song that my ears had ever heard.

We never needed words to fill the empty air,

We’d snuggle close together in our old velvet chair.

She held me tight and kissed my head,

Our love was just so real.

Her soft heartbeat...

Summer fades, autumn passes,

Nights grow long and cold.

Orange leaves begin to decay,

Winter wakes from her year-long rest.

Fireplaces lit at last,

Logs that flicker in crimson and gold.

And with the clouds becoming grey,

Knitted jumpers adorn our chests.

Each day seems to get colder and colder, as

Snowflakes fall upon my shoulder....

I feel his hands caress my waist,

He holds me close, he kisses my face.

There’s comfort in his warm embrace,

And I know he loves me.

I feel his hands around my throat,

His eyes are cold, he starts to gloat.

As he storms out, he grabs his coat,

And I don’t know if he loves me.

I feel his fingers brush my cheek,

His voice is soft, he makes me weak.

I feel his warmth, the warmth I seek,

And I t...

I’m not sure how I ever lived for almost twenty years without you,

It’s crazy how three months could change my whole world view.

Your cheeky smile, a golden ray

Of sunshine on a rainy day.

I can always feel my heart expand,

When you hold my finger in your little hand.

A few days without you can feel like forever,

I never thought a person could make me feel this way. Never.

I loved you immensel...

It’s tail swayed with every breath it took, effortlessly elegant and beautiful. Beautiful.

Beautiful, strong body, coated with thick orange fur and adorned with stripes, each one as unique as the prints on its ten fingers.

It’s long hair was greasy, matted against its skin. Skin.

Skin that was plastered with boils and sweat, pores open, anger and contempt seeping out of every one. One.

They were o...
