Upside down

Round and round

Don’t hear a sound

Light as a pound


What gos up

Right the cup

Where’s the pup

Not so tough


There we go

To and fro

Thoughts a glow

Down the tow

Not Quite... Natural

Pteropus vampyrus, commonly known as the flying fox. A species of a giant bat, more generally located in the warmer regions of the world.


Which was most likely why I hadn't managed to find any.


I thought there’d be an abundance of the winged mammals (not specifically Pteropus vampyrus, of course, they just happened to be my favourite), and I found it curious there was no evidence of the little...

At The End Of The Rope

“For the record,” Amara seethes through clenched teeth, ignoring the way her stomach rolls and her legs cramp, “I am blaming you for this.”


“Me?” Penelope squawks indignantly, fiery red hair swaying with her movements as she writhes and struggles against the thick rope wrapped tightly around her ankles. A thin sheen of sweat has bloomed over her brow, freckled cheeks distinctly red as she glares...

Hang on to your hats

“Where does your obsession with fire come from?” Nahara wondered. “I assume you you weren’t born with it, or else-“


“Or else it would have manifested as my quote unquote gift,” Selander interjected, “instead of this?” He gestured with an open palm to the scales marring his features. Then he shrugged. “Beats me.”


“I don’t believe you,” Nahara said, following in his footsteps as he strode towards ...

Uncomfortably Inverted

You keep saying to me that you didn’t intend for us to get here. You didn’t mean to land us in this kind of place, but rather, you just wanted to push the envelope of discovery. To go somewhere beyond limits, beyond comfort zones. You wanted to see how far you could push us.


You keep saying all this. But in reality, it seems that our world, our life, wasn’t enough for you.


No practical methods ...

Jenny

“This is your fault”.


“How do you figure that?”


“Well, considering she’s your ex-girlfriend and a psycho
”


“Hey, to be fair, I didn’t realize she was psycho!”


“Dude, really? Your actually trying to tell me that you didn’t realize Jenny was a nutter?”


“Nutter, really?”


“Don’t change the subject man; you totally knew she was a schizo; we all know that chick’sschizo”


“Really? Everyone?”


“Hel...

Bromates

“I mean,” Kiri starts, a shit-eating grin on his flushed face. “At least blood is rushing away from my dick, not tow—“


“Can it, idiot.” Katsu snaps, wriggling where he hangs, feet bound, from the ceiling of their cat-lady neighbor’s basement. “Why don’t you try using your head— y’know, the correct one for once in your fucking life— to get us out of here.”


Kiri only grins wider, placing his blood...

Objects In Motion

“Well, this is really spec-freaking-tacular!”

They were dangling in the air on a broken carnival ride. It was supposed to swing back a forth like a pendulum and spin. My self preservation and A+ in physics told me this was not safe but my cousin demanded it was this or the roller coaster that went on for nearly a mile.

“Hey! Chill! It’s not every day someone can say this happened to them!”

Upside Down

We didn’t mean to end up here, but here we are. Hanging by our feet in a mobster’s basement.


I sighed and looked over at my fellow captive, who happened to be my best friend. It was time for our hourly sit up, where we could get the blood rushing to our heads to drain back into our body. It had to have been our 9th time, but knowing it would be bad if we didn’t, we forced our shaking arms to pull...

Hanging

Life upside down

Looks like my face is painted like a clown

I love fruits and blood like things

That makes me love love especially

People call me as monster and say I’m scary

But that’s the furthest thing

I want to live so peachy

Because life’s suck for a vampire bat baby...
