Hello! I’m 25 from the UK. Finally pushing myself to pursue my love of literature & using this app to stretch my muscles as I move towards early preparation for my first novel at some point in the near future. Follow me if you like my work :)

More harrowing words have never haunted me so much as the ones I just unwillingly retained

“I saw what you did last night. And i’ve told everyone.”

If only I’d been able to resist my urges last night. This never would have happened. What have I done…

It was the middle of the night. My eyes creeped open to reveal a totally abysmal darkness. Blacker than the coldness of the moon. My stoma...

Before the pearly gates embrace,

Find me down the garden path.

Your soulful ally up heavens staircase,

Free of judgement, unaccustomed to wrath.

As one journey ends another begins,

Reach out your hand to join a grasp.

Your legs can rest - we’ve prepared your wings.

Find me down the garden path.

The End....

Every day I anxiously wait for you to come home from school so we can continue our playful games and antics. Once the clock hits 2:45pm I’m itching for your journey home to conclude in our hideaway bedroom/play-room.

The days where I would accompany you to school are far behind us, however this was something made abundantly clear to me before I was bestowed as your imaginary friend. I cherish th...

My Son’s Hero

All it takes is a glimmer of hope.

Soaring high above the clouds on my holiday route is where I reluctantly welcomed death. That was until I at last saw you - my city’s flawless hero.

Rows of seats were trembling with weary passengers. The threatening revolver held by our captor stood out like a blazing fire in hauntingly deserted woods. He placed himself centre stage in the end of the aeroplan...

Harsh forces from the forest are vigorously climbing towards me, threatening the safety of my sandy cubs. Mere hours ago I brought them into this deafening plane of the world, where I expected them to be greeted with a somber sunset & toasty resting place - I was wrong.

My thin coat is overpoweringly soaked like a drowned carcass immobilised under a thrashing river. It’s exhausting me. Initially ...

Unlisted Alibi

My hands are trembling with reluctant anticipation. Staring eyes burn straight through me with every glimpse of content. The claustrophobic prison-like walls were all I needed to signify what was now at the risk for me. If friendships are meant to be strengthened by mutual trust and aid, then why do I have no compelling reason as to why I feel so strongly in debt to aid Corey after what he did tod...

Purgatory

A piercing flash devastated my vision. That was the last thing I remembered, everything prior was still there albeit slowly fading from my memory. White-washed walls scarce of liveliness, numerous fluids prepped for insertion and very little company. The lights faded leaving a faint buzzing & alarming beeps which also subsided to my ultimate demise. This was my last moment on Earth.

I couldn’t s...

Natures thriving and flourishing summers bloom faded away from my sight, without a single thought given to the unbeknown inhabitants nurturing it with their tender warmth. A gloomy mist cast across the land. Nothing remained untouched - therefore nothing remained how it should have.

“I did what you asked.” Pleaded the innocent young girl, who steadily approached with fragile steps towards the fig...

Curtain Call Class

Webbed walls & corridors unravelled memories long locked away in an unforgiving haze as I journeyed reluctantly through my old Secondary School’s class reunion.

It’s been 20 years since I graduated the juvenile lifestyle & upgraded my life’s pursuit to a journey of attainment rather than mortification. ‘Peers’ who had seemingly forgot the years of torment, deception & discouragement met me today ...
