Inner Turmoil

“Are you fucking crazy?” Brain asked, clearly baffled.

Heart sighed. “Yes, Brain. Yes, I am. Crazy in love.”

“What’s there to love?” Brain snapped, already losing her patience. “He’s an idiot.”

Heart thumped in protest. “We’ve been over this, Brain. I know he’s not perfect, but I love him.”

“Sometimes love isn’t enough, Heart.”

“But it can be,” Heart argued. “Love’s supposed to be messy somet...

Haiku: What Is Love?

What is love, if not

suffering in beauty‘s mask?

Only time reveals.

Once, I dreamed in white.

Love and laughter, Flowers tossed.

Forever was ours.

III

That dream bled to black,

Mascara tears traced their paths.

Ashes in the veil.

Life without your touch

crashes through me, wave on wave,

from a fractured sea.

What is love, if not

death silently waiting to

The Ache Of Wishing

Maranda Quinn

1 min read

A trail of lace strewn through the hall,

a torso bruised with lipstick kisses,

bare skin drowning in satin sheets,

like dusk slipping into the throat of night.

Your fingers draw circles, slow and patient,

along the wounds of my broken body.

Oh, how I long to heal beneath

the warmth of your gasping silhouette.

Your breath pools in the curve of my neck.

You’ve locked my heart in a cage

This is the post I just left on r/writingcirclejerk. As sad as it is to say… I literally laughed at myself so hard, I cried. Yes… I’m a loser. I know. Lol.

I have managed to transcend the English language and fulfill my life‘s purpose. I am sharing this literary masterpiece with you in hopes that you’ll resist the overwhelming urge to publish it as your own.

Curiosity Kills The Cat

As I finally reached the bottom of the steps and placed one foot on the basement floor, the floorboard shifted beneath me. It didn’t creak like old wood normally does. It groaned. An eerie, for boating sound. Almost like a warning. Strange, considering this house was over two hundred years old and not a single stair had made a sound. But the moment I stepped onto the basement floor, it spoke. Omin...

I think it’s safe to say most of us have gotten that same old lecture from our parents at some point or another.

Don’t marry young. Keep it in your pants. Don’t get pregnant.

You know the spiel.

Well… turns out, the smartest thing we can do is actually listen. Because they were right.

But before we get to that, let’s rewind a bit.

Here’s a good spot: I was 18 years old and convinced I had an ent...

That Thing Is Not My Husband, Part 2

My apologies for how long it’s taken me to get back to you guys… I know you’ve been anxious to hear about the footage. A lot has transpired since my last update, so I will try my best to explain the events as they occurred.

Last night, after my “husband” and I told each other goodnight, we went our separate ways—me to our bedroom, him to the guest room. I lay there, wide awake, waiting. It felt l...

That Thing Is Not My Husband

I know nobody’s going to believe what I’m about to write. Honestly, if I wasn’t the one living it, I wouldn’t believe it either. Exactly one month ago, my husband Michael went missing.

We were having problems. And not the kind you fix with a couples’ retreat or a box of chocolates. I cheated on him. With my best friend, Sarah. It was one time. A drunken mistake. But somehow, he found out. He didn...

The following three stories were inspired by prompts in which people on Reddit gave me a random setting/weapon to create a satirical death scene. Hope you guys have as much fun reading them as I did writing them! Lol. Let me know what you think!

Setting: movie set in front of a green screen on the 20th story of a building

Weapon of choice: a toaster containing a cold grilled cheese sandwic...

You’re Still Here

There’s a spark in my chest, a sign I’ve been blessed,

Even when I’m a mess,

You’re still here.

On the days I feel low,

When I’ve nowhere to go,

And the tears start to flow

You’re still here.

I lived with my fear

Year after year.

But then you appeared.

You’re still here.

Don’t know if I’m worth it,

I’m so far from perfect,

Though I may not deserve it

You’re still here....
