Missing Boredom

SamanthaSwears

1 min read

I miss being bored, with nothing to do, but stare out the window.

I miss looking at the ceiling as a child, with my head on a pillow.

I miss laying on the grass, and playing with leaves. Making little grass green dolls with grass green shoes.

I miss how simple my boredom was, how creatively exploded in dull bore days.

Now I sit around, with headphones in my ears. Sound always buzzing, no silen...

“Oh that’s so cute..!” I munch on a fry. “And a little cheesy.”

He chuckles, a playful glint in his eye. He scrolled though his phone, looking for his cute date photos. “They usually like it.”

“I’m sure. Do they get to take one too?” I asked.

“Yeah, sometimes. Oh here they are!” He turns the phone towards me. The photo is of him and a pretty brunette in some night club. He swipes, to another wit...

Frater And Soror

Twin suns burned, Frater and Soror. Once one, now two. They lit the day and night, they parched the land, salted the sea.

One would dare not cross the land in midday, while the twins were closest. Death from the scorching heat was as common as starvation and disease.

It was just past seven, the wind brought with it a tepid breeze. A storm was approaching, a crackle of thunder sounded from the dis...

Rust

Rust.

Thick red.

Oxide turned steel.

Eroding deep beneath seams.

Shrieking, screaming bangs of beams.

The ocean’s spray makes metal decay.

It crashed down below, into the shallow.

The waves crash, turning dark sanguine.

Resting in it’s seabed cabin.

Steel beams sinking beneath.

Corroding and rotting.

Sicky red.

Rust....

Confession

Like a sinking ship, I feel its grip.

Around my throat, like a tightening coat.

It builds pressure, so I write this letter.

It weighs on my conscience, you shall see that I am monstrous.

I know it’s just for me, my only chance to be free.

That I tell you my troubling curse, so I won’t wind up in a hearse.

It won’t offer you any comfort, to find out I am the culprit.

But I pray it clears my ...

I prayed this was one of my smaller mistakes.

Each step jostled the coins buried deep in my pocket. They felt far heavier then they should.

Flickering gaslight lit my path, casting long dancing shadows upon the perpetually damp cobblestones.

The air hung thick with the stench of coal smoke and despair. A constant smell of rot permeated the streets.

My eyes glanced around the dim streets. It had b...

Escaping Reality

The sun had just begun to dip towards the sea. Streaks of light hit the clouds in a array of pinks and oranges. The water rolled over the horizon in a deep rumble as the salt laced air blew through my hair.

I took a sip of my margarita, the twang of bitter alcohol on my tongue. The ice clinked against the frosted glass. Liam lounged on his chair, mirroring me. He looked over, raising his sunglasse...

My fist collided with the mirror, sending the sickening sound of shattering bone and glass around the small bar bathroom.

I doubled over the sink, my sharp intake of breath shrill like a whistle. Blood dripped into the ceramic bowl. My hands shook, red wicked welts covered my knuckles. Bits of mirror dug in deep.

My stomach lurched, a wave of dizziness overtook me. Submerging my senses like I was ...

Baptism

I take in a breath, Linen in my arms, water to my ankles.

White as a sheet hung up on a line, heavy like a weight.

Dip my head beneath the waters.

I rise renewed, and cleansed....

Carrion

Birds circled overhead. Great big vultures, their spread wings blotted out the sun.

They hovered in the air, like a tornado of feather and wandering death.

Each step I took felt like an endless torment. The heat, a hell I’d had never know before. My skin cracked and mouth so dry I’d forgotten how to swallow.

The desert stretched on forever, ever the same no matter how far I walked. The horizon s...
