[Scene: A cozy Italian restaurant. Candlelight flickers between them. The menu is thick with options, and the smell of garlic lingers in the air.]

WIFE (tilting the menu slightly toward him):

If you had to choose between the orecchiette with the sausage ragu or the spinach ravioli, which would you—

HUSBAND (cutting her off, without looking up):

Babe, I really don’t care. You’re old enough to mak...

I’ve Heard This Before

I crept along the shoreline in perfect silence. Plenty of water rushed towards me, but I couldn't hear a thing. I sat at a great spot, not so perfect but nowhere near as amazing as this silence. His hands waved before me, and I took off my headphones.

“You think I want to listen to this?” I muttered quietly.

I didn't even so much as look at him.

I was fed up.

I…

“Listen shithead…”

The Glasses

She walks in the door and he lowers his voice.

She sits in her chair, taking out a book, reading with her glasses halfway down her nose.

He excuses himself, they need more milk, he’ll pop out and get some.

She waits till he leaves.

She takes off her glasses and closes her book.

She goes to the fridge, and sees, sure enough, a whole unopened bottle of milk.

A sharp voiced phone call and the c...

Where The Fog Settles

Rowan walked along the path carrying the bounty of her morning forage in her satchel. Her mind flashed back to images of her childhood, her long white-blonde hair braided tightly as she studied each of the herbs she held close to her side today, the same one’s her mother had once placed delicately in her small palm: yarrow, for healing, mugwort, for dreams, and a sprig of elderflower she had stash...

The Second Day

Laney

1 min read

You wake up

Last night’s bad dream still

Foggy in your head

No,

Not a dream

It becomes real

On the second day

Your shock relaxes

And is replaced by pain

There’s nothing you can do

It’s done, over

You couldn’t stop it then,

Why should you be able to now?

It happened so quickly

Slipped through your fingers

You couldn’t believe it,

Couldn’t seem to understand

But you can’t run

On the second day

E...

Raw Scars

I haven’t thought about your name,

In well over a month.

I blur your face in my mind,

Because it makes you less real,

So that you can’t hurt me,

And I can’t disappoint you.

I remember the times we had,

The daggers you twisted in my gut,

You didn’t mean to impale me,

But that doesn’t stop you,

From diving the next knife,

Deeper into my heart.

The rows of souls you’ve broken,

Is smal...

My Mask Is Now Gone

Ash

SHIT

My mask is slipping

Is it too late to put it back on

Is it too late to fill the hole I dug

She’s figuring it out

I’m too far deep

Too far in this lie

Too far in this personality

If she figures out I’m toast

Dead

Relationship gone

The heat is rising

The urge to tell her

Encapsulates my thoughts

Fighting in my brain

I’m digging deeper with every sentance

My mask is almost gone

It’s too la...

On the Run

Justin Letson

1 min read

Silent steps through town

Chin tightly tucked, eyes pointed down, Cautious to draw a crowd

Blank faces, no names

Passing through an unknown sea for peace to be reclaimed

It all feels foreign

So hopeful to remain unseen and live life free again

Desires are shunned

For dreams die old and love grows cold when life’s lived on the run...

Nighttime Plight

A bad dream — you scream out to me,

I come running in a flash.

Shadows crawl across walls and you see,

Them spreading like a rash.

I took your head into my nook,

To calm you from your fears.

We share a look, recite a book,

I distract you from your tears.

A silly game of made up names,

Giggles fill my ears.

Now tame again my little dame,

Your laughs I love to hear.

I hold you tight throughout th...
