Death Is Always The Answer

The arrow shoots from my hand, whistling pass my cheek and pass the reverberating wooden bow. It wobbles in the air, twisting as it strikes true. It buries deep in flesh, a gurgling cry of blood the last sound to leave the lips of the tyrant king. His body crumbles, I see his eyes dull before he is surrounded by his advisers, and nobles. I smile, knowing my job is done. I do not flee, like his cow...

In The Arms Of Morpheus

Endless stars and quilted patterns emerged behind my closed eyelids.

A rush of feeling, static white as I drift off into sleep.

How gentle it holds me, softening into warmth.

Cradling my mind and soul, like cotton arms and hands.

My head is deep, and I dive into it....

Somewhere Out In The Woods

3 min read

It all started with the old cars hidden in the woods.

Frankie had told us about them. Buried deep in the forest, piles of rust covered classics. Miles from the main road. Theo and I guessed it was just an old junkyard. But Frankie swore it was an actual manufacturing factory. And the building itself was out there somewhere.

That’s what made us finally agree to go. The thought of an untouched car f...

Lamb

The bloodied gray wolf laid at his side. It’s maw lay open, pale tongue lolled out between it’s fangs.

He wiped his sword off with his white surcoat, a red cross emblazoned on the course fabric. His armor squeaked as he moved, blood beginning to rust the joints.

A small herd of sheep watched him cautiously from their field, their nostrils flared at the scent of blood. They bleated, sensing somethi...

Endless Road

The road stretched on for a long ways. Miles and miles of black tar and gravel. Faint white lines dot along it unevenly. The caw of crows echoed in all directions as the murder awaited their meal.

Bonnie’s pigtails bounced with each small step she took, her electric energy waning in the hot wind. I couldn’t help the small smile that crept on my cracked lips, imagining her bouncing through the old ...

They leap through broken windows, spider webbed fractures across the glass like shadows.

Rain thunders down against tin roof and holes, they tread ever so carefully on their soles.

They walk around untouched rooms, dust so heavy laden in the air like blooms.

A song drifts down the corridor, a gentle melody of surrender.

It lulls, a hand pulling gently on your sleeve, oh how sweet it grieves.

Gandering Goose

“You must let me in!” The goose Frank, honks. He flaps his wings impatiently.

I stare at the bird between the open crack of my door. “Uh..why?” I finally say, not knowing why I even responded, to a goose.

“Why?!” Frank guffawed, his feathers puffing up. “You buffoon! It’s of the most importance! The highest importance!”

I start to close the door, realizing I’m definitely suffering from carbon mo...

Designated Driver

I covered my face with my hands as the man in the very short shorts and bow tie jumped on the table and began to dance.

The remaining ladies not expelling their stomach contents in the bathroom, cackled and howled. A particular maid of honor, scrambled up on the table with him, barely standing on her high heels.

I fiddled with my paper DD wristband. Glancing at my almost dead phone, I saw the time...

This Life Ain’t Fair

His spurs clicked against the old wood as he stepped into the saloon. The wood threshold worn smooth. The dusking light barely shone through the windows, it lit up the dust floating around the room, giving it an orange hazy glow. He carried his saddle on his hip, dry blood stained his leathers, his holster empty.

Only a few dusty faces rose from their tables, half of them buried in bottles. The b...

Fragaria

Steel hands and skin, black and red wires twist under it’s metal shell.

It holds a strawberry, ever so gently between rubber padded finger tips.

Fragaria spp, it’s circuits analyze, the soft fuzz and yellow seeds dot the skin.

Compressed ligaments tighten as it presses the berry to its lipless face.

It imagines, just how sweet it would taste, could taste, against a tongue.

The strawberry sm...
