The Meadow Where She Lives

Popcorn

1 min read

She opened her eyes.

A breeze was lifting her hair as a bright sunset expanded In the distance. Stars were visible, dotting the sky with their blues and yellows. Swirling among the clouds like paintings from eras past. The grasses shone blue against the bold sky, fighting back at the moon’s beauty, with a piece of its own.

The flowers aided the meadow, popping up in just the right places. Bunches...

Drifting in the wind,

Theres tale of a new being.

Something big and strong.


This is where you’ve made your error.

You see, friend.

To be this being, you need not be strong or big.

In fact, the lesser so the better.

To be what it is, it is almost to be what it’s not.

Some face drakons, 9 tailed foxes, and newly erupted challenges from Zeus himself.

Others, it’s different. It’s the immense struggle...

A Feast?

He sat at the table

His stomach lurched, he was almost on the verge of throwing up.

A few people looked at him, seeming to stare into his soul.

“Why aren’t you eating..?”

The person seemed to hiss, to click.

He took his fork and shakily lifted a piece of the meat to his mouth.

He swallowed, and put it back down.

It smelled like chicken, but he knew better.

The people, no, creatures.

They could...

A Bland Consistency

I blink my eyes once

The world shifts underneath me

New lives, once again


Another lifetime

A new leaf, everyone

Beautiful, is it?


The blossoms still bloom

Pinks and reds and whites alike

My room is the same


I’m lost in the times

Watching the world pass me by

One life at a time


Different stories

But mine, the same forever

What is this torture...

Flowers

I laugh slightly, looking down at those petals, swirling in the pool of blood.

I wonder, love, do you like flowers?

If I had perhaps gotten you a bouquet.. could my ending have changed?

I slowly allowed myself to come to rest in my abomination of self destruction.

Would you have loved me back, if I had just brought you a gift? A simple cliche that so many love.

I’m not him. It wouldn’t hav...

The Stardust Colony

It’s evening.

I step out of bed, grabbing my net.

I walk to the door, excitement churning in my gut.

Todays my first day, I should call my friend once I finish.

Opening my old door, squeaking tearing at my poor hyper sensitive ears, I stepped out into the night.

I jumped up, soaring into the sky with amazing strength. It was normal, I hadn’t spent years of preparation for this job for nothing.

Oh The Morning Comes

The alarm clock goes off.

Sitting up, I glance blearily at the wall.

A calendar stares back at me, little crosses on every little box. I walk over and cross off the next one. That’s when I see it.

Is it that day already?

I give the calendar a weary glance and pick up my phone. Flipping it open, I choose a contact and call.

After a few simple words back and forth, I’ve chosen the exact time and pla...
