The Broken Bone

A cracking sound can be heard.

Bone: “Ow! I’m broken!”

Brain: “seriously!? Again!? This is the third time!”

Brain: “how did you manage that this time!!”

Bone: “I don’t know!! Tell your body to take care of her body!!”

Brain: “I’ve tried but she doesn’t listen!”

Organ Alert

"Tell her she's drinking too much," the liver said to the spleen.

"That's not in my job description dude," replied the spleen. "Besides, dude, you're too uptight. She's twenty-five years old, let her have some reckless fun."

"I'm not uptight. I take offense to you calling me uptight," the liver said hotly in its defense.

"Dude, see, right there, that's what I mean. You take things too seriously. Y...

Anatomy Of A Snack Attack

“This is an emergency, everyone! This is not a drill. I repeat: this is not a drill. We are starving!” Stomach yelled, voice echoing like a foghorn across the body.


“What did you think was going to happen? She opened the fridge and didn’t touch anything,” Eyes snapped, unimpressed.


“There were leftovers! She opened the drawer full of cheese!” Stomach whined. “I think she’s punishing us. Maybe sh...

A Mind And A Heart

In my body,

There’s always this battle..

between two independent organs of mine,

yet to some point, both of them want to lead me.

I have this thing, were i forgive and forget,

not once, but always..

-“You have no dignity, are you happy with people always stepping on you?” My brain seems to ask

-“I will just act clueless, and keep being nice, they’ll never know that I know they’re humiliating me” ...

The Silence Within

Mara knew the exact sound the front door made when her dad came home drunk. Not the soft creak of someone trying not to wake you, but the sharp, careless slam that rattled the coat rack. It was always late—always past midnight—and always followed by the clink of keys hitting the kitchen counter and a long, tired sigh like he hated himself for coming home at all.


She was used to it. Or at least th...

Loss

**Brain:** “Same time as usual right?”


**Uterus:** “I don’t think I’m going to make it. We’ve been working too hard and haven’t been getting nearly enough calories.”


**Brain: **“Okay! See you then!”


**Uterus:** “What? No, did you hear me?”



**Brain: **“Hey where are you, you were supposed to be here 3 days ago… you’re never late?”


**Uterus:** “I can’t come if you keep this up. This isn’t heal...

Heart And Mind

(I don’t relate to this, but if you do I am always here to listen if you want to talk! Hope you have a great day and happy pride!)


_I think… I love her? _Sage’s heart screams.

**No, no way!** Her mind fights.

_Maybe you’re right. Maybe I just like her platonically_. Her heart sighs

**Yeah, platonically.** Sage’s mind seems to be disappointed.

_What’s wrong?_ Her mind asks.

**You are 100% righ...

“No fucking doy Jerry, we are in a colon!” -S


“Sam, I bet this shit goes on for miles.”-J

The Stubborn Leg

One crisp morning, as the sun began to rise over the horizon, Xavier thought it would be a delightful idea to embark on a brisk walk around town. He stepped outside, the cool air refreshing against his skin, yet he could feel the telltale ache in his legs from the previous day's exertions. However, an unexpected internal debate had begun inside his body—a strange war of wills.


As he walked down t...

The Last Conversation

“STOP”


“I SAID STOP, I can’t take it anymore. Please make it stop.”


It’s too late, I’ve gone too far into it to turn back now.


“Please, I was wrong, I don’t want this anymore.”


“You should’ve considered that before you took the last hit. How stupid do you look now, heart.”


“What was I supposed to do, brain? You wouldn’t shut up, you never shut up. You’re a constant burden and I just wanted qu...
