The Thing Underwater

TheWonkyWordsmith

2 min read

The ocean is calm and dark. A cloudless night sky full of stars rests above my tiny fishing boat. I’ve found myself stranded out here on this vast plain of water somehow. I called for help, but I’m not sure when it’ll arrive. Until then, I’m stuck out here, all alone.

All alone.

All alone, except for the thing beneath me.

A shadow in the water approaches me, slowly but surely. Maybe it was a s...

Weeps Under The Willow

TheWonkyWordsmith

1 min read

As I began

My evening stride

A Weeping Willow

Caught my eye

It was not

The Willow weeping

But instead I saw

Many tears seeping

A person sobbing

Under the Willow tree

Not an uncommon

Sight to see

The Willow tree

Is a place to be

To think alone

Maybe have some tea

When you are sad

You can go to the tree

And find the answers

And find the key

Underneath

The Willow tree

A person sobbing

Next to me...

Hide N’ Seek

“1…2…3…4…” the seeker begins counting the time we have to hide. We have a big playing area, with lots of hiding places. That is because if you get caught, you will be eliminated.

I only have to stay hidden for twenty minutes. I know from previous survivors of the game that it’s easier said than done. The seeker if very good. It’s faster than any person, meaning running away after you’ve been cau...

The Eyes Are Listening

There is no escape.

No matter where I go, they watch. I don’t know where, I don’t know who, but something is watching.

I’ve tried to find from where. The TV? The security cameras? The trees? No matter where I look, I see no one. But there’s definitely something somewhere. It’s a surreal feeling. I can’t quite put a finger on it. Sometimes, out of the corner of my eye, I think I see something. I...

Where Missing Things Go

TheWonkyWordsmith

1 min read

“I know where all the missing socks go,” I said, beaming up at the woman who was babysitting me. I was excited to tell her what I found.

“What was that?” She asked. “I know where the missing socks go, Ms. Bianca!” I repeated. “Really? Where do they go?” She bent down to ask. “Follow me!”

I lead her down the hallway and into the mud room. Outside the window, clouds blocked the stars in the nigh...

The Words I Hate

*swear warning*

——————————————————————

I loved them.

I’ve loved them for years.

Their amber eyes, their curly brown hair. I love the way they talk. Their voice is soft, and kind. And I love their imperfections.

I want to tell them I love them, but I’m scared. Scared they’ll say no.

But I can’t be scared, or else I’ll never know. If they say no, we can still be friends, right? Rejection won’...

Another Mind

“Who are you?”

I tried to ask. I tried to stop smiling and laughing. It was fake, I’m not happy. I want to tell someone I wasn’t happy, but I couldn’t. If I told someone, would they care? Would they do the same thing I’m doing now, pretending to feel something I’m not? Is it worth it to tell someone?

“Y’know, you could always just die.” There it was. That dumb little voice again. I won’t listen...

Dear Diary,

Today I heard that scientists figured out how to make corpses move and talk again. Like real life zombies. Somebody showed me a video of a walking and talking corpse, but I think it’s fake. I’m going to bed now.

The Winner

If you run the mile

Faster than any other

You’ll have a great big smile

And maybe you’ll win another

They will gift you a trophy

Sparkling and shiny gold

You must accept it with pride

Because that’s what a winner is told

There will be sore losers

You must watch out for them

They despise you when you win

An atrocity causing mayhem

So if you happen to win a race

Please do me a favor

Hold your chi...
