You Kill Me!

Vain

1 min read

“It’ll be a breeze” He says, clicking on a harness. Whilst I inwardly sigh, biting my lip and curtly nodding. “You kill me..” I let out meekly, my facade as hard as the concrete against our feet.

My hands are clammy, sweaty, and for some reason I can’t stop pulling the collar of my shirt away from the skin of my neck. Breathe, pull. Breathe, pull. Breathe, “Hey, you with me?” The boy beside me as...

I brought her Lillie’s, Every day since her rest But I cant help but feel, That I’ve failed her test

She said she’d be back, Yet she’s still beneath me But I’ll get her flowers anyway, And happy she will be

Happy I am, For the gifts I’ve been given I said I’d return, As I once have been

She places another flower, And I finally awaken “I’ve return to the world, That I once walked in”...

I never wanted to live through this. I never agreed to be zombie bait. My initial plan was to just end it all before any of it even began. But even then, with the gun in my hands, I couldn’t do it. Something nagged at me to stay.

Now I wish I had. If I knew it would be this much work to survive, maybe I’d of just done it. Maybe I’d of just given up.

“We aren’t quitters.” My father would say. My ...

Oh Fuck

Vain

The woman stared up ahead at the man announcing the conference. He began on about the work environment but the girls mind was elsewhere.

She was watching his mouth move, but she wasn’t hearing anything. The only thing she was thinking at the moment, was ‘oh fuck..’.

The woman abruptly got up, and her chair scraped against the floor dramatically, anticipating more attention than intended.

She ...

“You’ve got the wrong guy!” he shouted, dazed and confused.

The teenage boy was struggling at the hands of an older man who’s breath reeked of alcohol. The boy shuddered against his firm grip, desperate eyes squinting up to the bearded man’s face.

“You tellin’ me you ain’t the one that knocked over my bike?” The man growled, and with tightening fingertips, the boy was pulled an inch closer to hi...

How Do I Plea?

Vain

3 min read

“Your honour, I plea innocent.” I insist, with folded hands and a straightened posture. I’m certain I can sway this jury, before the judge beats the stand. It doesn’t help that every time I glance down to my palms, they appear red-stained, I have yet to know why. The jury can’t see my blood stained hands, can they? Is that why my case is so helpless?

I didn’t kill anyone, I didn’t. I wouldn’t har...
