I don’t know where I am, I don’t remember anything. It’s dark, I can’t see. I try to feel my way around the room, and I soon hit a table. I quickly begin coughing at the dust. After a few moments, I begin moving again. I hit a lamp. It’s a few inches taller than me, with a warm lightbulb at the top. There’s a coat hanger right next to it, with only one coat on it. Unlike the rest of the decor, the...

When I first met them, I had hinted that I was not straight, but I didn’t think I’d actually fall for them. It wasn’t even really flirting, but it was the best I could do. Before I knew it, my heart raced and felt like it was gonna rip out of my throat every time I saw them. We have a ton of mutual friends, and they all said that my crush liked me too. Apparently they’ve called me adorable and bea...

As my S/O challenged me to an art competition, I knew I wasn’t going to win. They’ve been into art since they were a kid. I haven’t lifted a paintbrush for decades. But as my pencil slowly glided across the paper, I knew what I had to do. All I had to do was imagine it in my mind, look at it, and copy every single detail. I didn’t know anything about color theory, but I hoped it’d still be good en...

As I sit down on the bus, I spot a beautiful girl, a few inches taller than me, with chocolate brown hair and hazel eyes. I quickly move over to her seat and begin talking. “Hey you look nice! Girl in red?” She laughs. “Not Girl in Red, but the alternative of Sweater Weather” Sweater Weathers the code word for bisexual so what sexuality is similar to bisexual but not quite the same? Pansexual. I n...

As I gaze upon the stars, I hear my husband call me for dinner. “Just a minute!,” I reply. The stars, some ivory blue, others cloud white. The navy blue sky, split in half by the warm colors assaulting the darkness. The blood red in the middle, with the tiger orange and pineapple yellow creating the image of a fire in the sky, lighting the darkness on fire and splitting it in two. The fire slowly...

As I go to bed, I couldn’t be happier. My heart feels as if it’s pounding out of my chest and into my throat and I can’t breathe. I’m getting married! To the love of my life! I’ve been so depressed since my wife died, getting married to the love of my life is just the thing to get me on my two feet again! I brush my teeth, and lay down into bed. I hug my wife, and whisper “Good night, my love” She...

March 1, 2017,

It’s already March. Somehow.

March 2, 2017,

The other kids have been trying to cheer me up lately. Not that it’s working.

March 3, 2017,

I’m losing motivation to keep writing in this stupid journal.

March 4, 2017,

I feel like my heart is encased in tar.

March 5, 2017,

I have a bad feeling. Like something’s going to happen.

March 7, 2017,

If I had a fully loaded gun aimed strai...

I only did it because I had to. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be in this position right now. I light my lantern and begin entering his dream. Typically, it’s pretty easy, but it’s much harder this time because of my emotions. My heart feels encased in tar. Once I finally enter his dream, I see the familiar glittering, light blue river that separates us. I stand firmly, with my white and gold cape drifting...

My Persephone had a date

However, he was late

His mother died

Oh, how I wondered why

They went to her room

With a face of pure gloom

I heard cries

He definitely lies

It’s been weeks

There’s tears on her cheeks

She had to give in

And so he was forgiven

Though he was cheating

And he was beating

She had nowhere else to go

And now it’s starting to snow

Why can’t she leave him?

And soon the reaper of ...
