Crying
And crying
And whining
And begging
And sobbing
And screaming
And complaining
And bargaining
But Teddy was ran over by a driving mime
So now the monsters will eat my toes
And pick of my eyeballs
And play with my brain
And make necklaces out my intestines
But Teddy won’t be there with me...
I watch somberly from the window, as the soldiers investigate the damage sustained from the crash. This is supposed to be a safe visit of state, but things never seem to go to plan here.
Crashes and bangs come from inside the shuttle walls, where grease monkeys do their best to repair the mechanics while welders patch up the outside. The soldiers run around, waving around their weapons, to see i...
“I need to confess something… I did it. Now, can you pass the wine?”
“You what?” I stammered, hoping I heard wrong. Shelby reached past me and grabbed the wine before take a huge swig straight from the bottle. She licked the red liquid of her upper lip before continuing.
“I did it. I didn’t mean to, I swear. I’m so, so sorry. Please forgive me,” she whispered, a haunted look in her eye before k...
It wasn’t supposed to happen this way, my mom was supposed to come back, not this hag. I said the necromancy incantation exactly the way I was told to. I pronounced every word just the way the person smoking weed and doing shots behind my favorite 7/11(they have the best gas station sushi). The woman, who wasn’t my mother, wore a ragged white wedding gown, and as she sat on a bench blood red roses...
I need to keep fighting
This was supposed to be exciting
Just keep paddling
And paddling
And paddling
I can’t let them catch me
I never thought I’d have to flee
Just keep paddling
And paddling
And paddling
I can’t lose this game
My kids can’t think I’m lame
Just keep paddling
And paddling
And paddling
Manhunt will be my end
Because I know what’s around this bend
Just keep paddling
And paddl...
“….. may she rest in peace,” yelled the undertaker as he hurled my sister’s corpse into the grave.
My throat closed as ugly sobs threatened to burst through my pursed lips. I can do this. Just a few minutes and I can cry my heart out, alone for the first time in days.
My grandparents walked away, high and mighty as always with their matching Lululemon and Air Force 1s. They glared at me, actin...
Sitting in the road
Bright and happy
A safe space
Always there
Never falters
Until the rain comes
Pouring down
Winds howling
Until the cone tips over
Rolling down the hill
Rolling
And rolling
And rolling
Mud covering it
With each tumble
The good times
Seem farther away
And farther away
And farther away
Until all the brightness has gone
Eventually it will be replaced
But not for a time
The DPW is...
Should’ve known I misunderstood
Should’ve been smarter
Should’ve been better
Shouldn’t have acted so quickly
Shouldn’t have assumed what he meant
Shouldn’t have grabbed that hammer
Should be over soon
Should be behind bars for life
Should be out of my parent’s basement at least
Johnny didn’t ask me to kill him with an axe
Johnny did ask me to fill up his glass
Johnny did scream when he died

“….. and that’s why my wife divorced me,” sobbed the bearded man next to me. My nails dug into my palms as I tried not to react to his antics. First he ranted about the World Cup match, then it was about his dad throwing his sister out of the house when she came out, plus so many more strange topics. His one sided debate about deodorant was particularly sad.
It had been going on like th...
Running through the pitch black forest with a river of tears flowing from her eyes, Aoife’s legs were on fire from the constant movement. Had it been minutes or hours? She wanted- no, she needed, to stop. Her lungs were already filling with a thick gelatinous goo, much longer without medical care would kill her; sprinting through the inky darkness would only hasten the seemingly inevitable end.
