I’ve gotten used to it.

The way people stop moving in the middle of a sentence, their words cut off and time freezes until a second later they continue talking as if nothing happened. Or when I get so angry, everything stops and so I sigh and calmly walk around them, leave the room, then watch as the confusion starts.

But today was different.

I was at the bar I usually go to with its loud mus...

Tick… tick… tick

A clocks hand slowly moves in your head.

Tick… tick… tick

It started seven point three seconds ago and it won’t stop.

Tick… tick… tick… tick

It has nothing to do with the thing in your chest that burns like fire, racing across your veins. Or the immensely strong urge to let that flame devour everything around you, including the person in front of you.

The Betrayer.

Fitting...

High above the city

Where all the people lay

The clouds floated above

With the suns ray

The buildings loom high

All cramed together in one space

But beautiful none the less

In this glorious place

Tiny people walk along the streets

Chatting and driving

Living their lives

While they keep fighting

Fighting to eat

Fighting to breathe

Fighting to live a meaningful and happy life

Fighting to find pea...

Dreams filled the sky, like a sunrise

Whispered secrets flow across fields of wheat

Darkened sky brings life to earth

Threatening your peace or making it better

Cool wind brushes against your skin

A promise of what’s to come

Yet the flowers still bloom, fighting against weather

As you stand there

Breathing in the peace of the wind, clouds, cool air, and the rustle of grass

Fear mixed with wonde...

Your heart pulsed harder and harder like waves crashing on rocks. Your lungs struggled to take breath. Numbness zinged along your arms and legs as your eyes connects with him. All thoughts flew from your mind yet you’ve known him for years.

Your best friend.

But have never seen him in person before, only ever texted our called.

He lives across the world but everything is different now… now you c...

As the darkness sank into her veins she felt the evil take her over…

You’re mine…

Three year later…

The thoughts continuously tormented her.

Make them pay…

They deserve it…

It’s just one death…

“Get out of my head!” She screamed, gripping her hair in her hands at an attempt to release the angry voices.

Stumbling through the woods, Careia gripped a tree for support...

Sand everywhere… this is the sea I love.

No cold water soaking you, or a cold breeze blowing in your face. Just smooth warm sand for the ship to slide through.

“Captain! We’ve spotted them!”

I turned around and walked up to my first mate Cairy, my buckled boots clicking with each step. She handed me the eye glass and I honed in on the trespassers, their ships flag the color of blood.

A growl ro...

Buried in the back, underneath the ground,

lay something dead

Over the body, above the ground,

lay dead roses

A secret.

They covered it up, along with their lies.

The body rots under the ground, its features unrecognizable

But no one suspected a thing…

The ladies pretty smiles were harmless as they laughed, hiding behind wine glasses,

They were innocent… or so people believed

Even when all their...

Always and forever, I said to him. But apparently he didn’t feel the same way as he left me by that creek, miles away from any civilization. Caring my bag up the hill and wiping my tears away, I spotted an inn and cursed Jake for taking the only transportation. Delightful smells hit me as my mouth watered and I stumbled to the front door, my feet sore and soaked from walking so far. Enveloping war...

I wanted him to stay, but he had to go. I knew my sheer will couldn’t keep him here, but I still tried as I sat crying over him.

His soft fur brushing my temple as I felt him take his last breaths.

My heart ached like it got punched as I whispered over and over to him.

“I love you, my sweet boy. Good boy, good dog. I love you so much.” My voice choked off as I sobbed, my family mourning with me...
