“Get down here right now you headache of a person!”
I hadn’t meant to be so harsh, but sometimes harsh is the only way Maggie listens, “Come on Grace, it’s not that big a deal!”
She was perched on top of a balcony railing on the second story of the hotel. She was trying to reach a hundred dollar bill someone had put on one of the weird pillars surrounding the building.
“Maggie please get down...
Welcome, welcome one and all
All your dreams will start to fall
fall through the floor
floor the judges and walk out the door
door to the unknown
unknown to everything but soul and bone
bone of man and bone of beast
beast with fangs and teeth
teeth with ridged edges
edges of wreathed sharp ledges
ledges where only a gooodbye meets a hello
hello and welcome home...
I walked through the cafeteria with a lunch tray, minding my own business and looking for a spot to sit when I slipped.
Apparently I had walked right past a floor-is-wet sign.
I landed smack on my butt, my cheeks flaming red as I tried to stand up. But, of course, I slipped before I was even standing.
I heard the cafeteria go silent as they watched me before bursting into laughter.
I closed...
Their eyes are green, they say, and yet they are sometimes blue and sometimes grey. You can see sorrow and ghosts in their beautiful complexion, even when they wear their brightest smile.

Surprise him with my speed
I’m against him, make him bleed
The winning punch
I knock him dead
That’s when I learn
It was all in my head

“No wonder they called us,” My voice filled the space between me and Noah that had been empty for the last five minutes.
He shook his head and furrowed his brow, “How’d it even get up there?”
In true Noah fashion, he was already trying to find an explanation instead of really looking at the problem.

“Tell me what you mean,” Ben was no longer laughing.
Annoyance was clear in Annabelle’s tone, “Ben, I know you’re scared, but we seriously need to go. They’ll be here at any moment.”
“Who? The cops?” He laughed quietly to himself, thinking of the insanity of this moment, “Maybe I should hand you over to them? I mean, how do I know you won’t kill me next? How do I know you’re not insane?”
