Ellipsis

I’m here and as long as I continue to stay here, I will be writing. A pen as my sword, a book as my shield, I will stand and fight on the side of creativity.

A Foot In The Grave

Ellipsis

3 min read

Death surrounded Andrea.

By the age of 19, she started interning at the local vet clinic. She took care of the animals; feeding, cleaning, and occasional transport. By the end of that year, she couldn’t count the amount of deaths she witnessed. Every one would tie her stomach in a knot and leave an empty ache in her chest.

And yet… with every death came a boy. He wore a hoodie and baggy black ca...

Flash Flood

Water flows through splintered beams,

Haggard cracks within the seams,

Rocks and mud within our home,

A loss of warmth betwixt the dome.

Pulling up a book to read,

I realize I’m without a need.

Between the wreck of shale and tree,

There I sit while others flee.

Screams and cries,

And sweetened lies,

Yet here beneath the awning I wait.

Even if they do arrive,

I made my peace that they’ll be too l...

Forced Stargazing Isn’t A Hobby

For a moment,

All I can see are stars

Bright, hot, and burning

The rumble of the cheap stage below me,

Threatening to collapse with every boom of the mic.

Handprints sear my shoulders,

Ushering me forward for the inevitable piercing of eyes.

All on me.

All deliberating.

What I wouldn’t give for a warm fire,

The only light being a lamp in the corner.

But all I can feel is cold,

Curtains shifting...

Oh You Magnificent Man

I sighed, combing my fingers through the stiff, gelled hair my mother had so desperately styled for tonight. My collar felt too tight, suffocating me in my own cologne.

“Carson,” I stiffened at the call of my name, turning to see yet another well-dressed woman. She was dressed exquisitely—as most everyone here was—a concerned and… determined look on her face. “Are you quite alright? You left in s...

This Party Sucks, Wanna See A Meme?

Silent as we enter,

Silent as we leave.

Together at a gathering,

Our silence a reprieve.

Casual glances,

and subtle nods.

A bond between us,

No one can see but the gods.

My only hello,

My only goodbye.

Grant me again your presence,

You know I’ll never pry....

Break The Norm

Smash,

Rip it,

Tear it up,

Bring it down now,

I want it all gone,

Temerity rises,

Break the glass to my cold cage,

Let me scream and rage to the world.

I don’t want to live in a place where,

Everything must fall into silent lines...

Evelyn Boone

Evelyn Boone had everything; a boyfriend, an apartment of her own, a large following on Instagram. She was the embodiment of thriving. She came in with a beaming smile and a kale smoothie and flooded the room with her energy.

Kathleen Jacobs had enough; she scraped by with her three other roommates that she doesn’t talk to outside of asking them to clean up their dishes, she had a secure place at...

And In The Morning We’ll Be Okay

She never wanted anything. She didn’t want to choose what the family had for dinner, she didn’t want to think about the future, and she didn’t want Evelyn to leave.

Nora pressed her hands over her ears and curled up on the couch as her father screamed. He pressed his finger into Evelyn’s chest and spat in her face, his face redder than the mark he had left on Evelyn’s cheek.

The World In Your Hands

If we could hold on

Just one more day my dear

I promise you that

I will give you the whole world,

The grandest of gestures.

And if you gave me

The whole wide world in my palms

I promise to you

That I will preserve your heart

With kind words and gentle love...

They Tell Us Stories (Or Lies)

Ellipsis

6 min read

Stumbling through the woods with bones that felt entirely different but deep down they were all the same, Armani braced against the trunk of a tree and wheezed for breath.

Their face, once smoothed and young, now bore wrinkles and loose skin. They closed their eyes when they saw their swollen hands, one clutching tight to a black flower with orange creeping from the inner cup. Everything ached a...
