I Just Roke Up

Was that a crash? Or was it a clang…

I cant tell but with this ringing in my ears its hard to refrain

From the jolting up, frantically scanning

My eyes striggle to adjust, to see in this new light.

My gaze lands on something, hidden in the night, because there’s no way, no how.

They must be deceiving me… right?...

[Open my Visor on my motorcycle helmet]

What is that object in my vision?

As i open my eyes from shut

a blur of an object-

19 meters per second.

*I slap my eye as if something has entered my eye*

[i pause in that position]

“Fields of black, painted upon the reflections that spread themselves;as if they were in a gallery,

Widened puddles.”

-Pause-

There be ducks!

In the vast empty space whi...

It’s My Fault

I woke up, ears ringing, vision dim. I was tied up in a wooden chair, then I saw a hidden figure moving closer.

“Emma Jones, or Saskia Hunter, what ever name you would like to call yourself. Long time no see, how is the family?” Said the man moving closer to the light.

“Doing good, sorry for your loss, I heard that your father recently passed away”

“Your not sorry, it was your fault that he...

I have been here for years just sitting in this lonly part of the forest. Waiting for when the humans come and cut me down into pieces. I try to talk to other oak trees but they just stay quiet. I wonder if my life is always going to be like this. No animals to look at, when they see me they ran away. I'm just here waiting for my life to end. I hope to see better days and live on longer. But you a...

Just A Selfie

I love my beans

1 min read

This scar.

It places me in a setting of anger.

It comes across my face and people call me

Scar.

The lion.

That is partly how I got it though.

I was eight years old.

My parents took me to the

Zoo.

My first time and they wanted a selfie.

I said we should do it by the lions

And we did.

My mom, dad, and I

Stood in front of the lions as my parents

Squished me

And I fell in.

My head hur...

First Kill

The smell in air was that of mold and dirty rags. I could see only an outline of what seem like a large man, but I wasn’t sure. My eyes were struggling to adjust to the darkness. Unable to talk with what smell like a filthy sock stuff in my mouth. As my eyes adjusted to small amount light coming from a window from above, I made out the silhouette, it was actually two men, one stand partially behin...

Help Me Get Up

Yura

Some nights I walk the streets and find myself on top of a roof to get the best view of the ocean under the moon.

Me and my bestfriends would join together at times to watch the sunset or rise. Both of them are good for me.

Sometimes she’d catch me walking alone at night in which she’d be driving alongside me. “Get in let’s go get some ramyun!” She’d say.

These days, I haven’t had much of an ...

My scoff startles the men that kicked off the wall of the alley as I passed.

I’m sure they’d prefer being called ‘thugs,’ but while bedazzling the word across your shirt certainly adds pizzazz, it unfortunately loses its punch.

I assess them as we face each other, not at all envious of their outfits.

Alright. I lied.

This uncomfortably fancy pencil skirt suit of mine only further confirms h...

Their Motives

I’ve decided to go to this party too but for a different reason. Initially I was looking for information to find my mother, but now my reasons are all tailored to the people of this party.

While she’d be an idiot to believe that all of her fans were loyal to her, there are those who are here for the same reasons I am. That is to build the army from right here and find those who also plan to betra...
