Just Scratched Not Broken- Pt 1

Lou McGovern

2 min read

“Go,Go,Go!” The crowd yells.

“You got this! Five more seconds!”

The bull throws me around a few more spins.

I hear the buzzer go off and get thrown back from the bull. The bull whips its head towards me and charges. I get my upper half out of the way as the bull runs over my legs and turns and steps on my side.

My first time in this arena and I get trampled.

“ A whopping 97.50 points out of 100 f...

A Single Leaf And A Few Heartbeats

Lou McGovern

2 min read

“You have ninety seconds to hide.” The voice echos over the field as I look around. The state I find myself in is unbearable. I’m covered head to toe in the mud and leaves that the ground so graciously clothed me in. This place smells worst than anything anyone could’ve imagined.

But looks unlike anything anyone could have conjured up in their mind.


“If you are found, you die. Good luck.”


I DIE ...

Is It?

Is this heaven I wonder aloud

No it can be it isn’t all that loud

In heaven everyone’s happy and glad

But here it’s not necessarily sad

It just peacefulness is it purest form

Pure peace reside in this place as I drift through endless space

How beautiful it is to see the stars as you shift throughout them all

On and on you float through til you find that God is with you

This is how you feel when Go...

Curiosity

For all of y’all who wanted a part two of Stowaway

Here you go…


I’m shackled to the floor both arms.

I pull the chains as the rub together.


“Your not going anywhere. You have to pay off your debt and if you get into anymore trouble. Your gonna walk the plank.”


I roll my eyes at him.


He looks at me with anger in his eyes but behind that I see genuine curiosity.


But as we all know

Curiosity kil...

Light

“Darkness rises and light to meet it.”— Supreme Leader Snoke- The last Jedi: episode eight—


The trees grow to a towering height and cover the forest in darkness…

But little sunflower swerves to get the sunlight.


The sun leaves for the day and the moon comes out to take over…

But little sunflower finds hope in the stars.


Hope is something you have to find…

In the little things....

Hunger

The coldness of the polished cell floor of seeps through my jeans.

The roof is glass so I can see the stars.

The columns of marble engorging me in this place.

I see Orion

And cancer

And Leo.


…


Enough about about this place!!!!!


I NEED FOOD!!!


But I can’t I keep forgetting about my plan…

I’ll bite the hand that feeds me so maybe I’ll starve.


I sit there and stare at my 26 plates of food

Escape From The Sky Fortress

“Jim. Help me!” I say as I pull up on the bars.

I start chiseling away at the cement at either end of the bars.

“Why should I? We’re not getting out unless we do something crazy.”

I sit there trying not to belive in those words.

I hear footsteps signaling for me to retreat back to my corner.

“Wait” he says as he jumps up and runs to the side of the door.

“What are you doing?” I say in hushed whis...

To Protect Her

Lou McGovern

The doors open as Lennox walks in glaring at Jason.

“I told you to protect her, not train her!”He says as his sword hits his heel.

“Her training will protect her!” Jason yells.

I stand there as they argue. I swear every time Lennox walks through that door he screams at Jason. To be honest I really don’t care for either one of them but I owe it to them. Lennox saved me from the war conscription so...

“Ohh Well For The Interior!”

Lou McGovern

2 min read

The westerlies blow like a mighty lions roar as I walked silently through the beach grass. The beach grass is the best dancer on this side of Biloxi. The grass dances as though it has something to be joyful about every day. It swiftly rises and falls on my ankles as I look towards the Gulf. Never know quite what the weathers going to down here in Mississippi. I see some small sand crabs as I walk ...
