The Lead

Wracking, wretching sobs.

Clawing themselves up

My throat.

Still, I’m silent.

Thick agony

Fighting to be free.

Rich, such potency.

It’s not

even me.

But, my attempt

In her

Life and shoes

Has, pathetically,

Left me

On my knees.

Alone, all alone.

A bird left

With her broken eggs.

Secret, so quiet.

Taking off

A scared mask.

Subject, dejected

To another

“Deserved” discipline.

Heartbroken, ...

Where Is The Accountability

Is this all I’m capable of? Crying? Weeping over my decided fate? Yet I lack the strength to stand tall, reach 18, and die audaciously.

A family curse, the firstborn is to die the first day of his eighteenth year. A simple heart attack. Here and gone. A dandelion seed passing by.

At fifteen, you could say my parents broke the news, but really, the news broke me.

What have I done? Where is the...

Arches (2023)

Hours after the mall lights turned off, Steven and I still stayed. We stared at the faint outline of the arch, intricately carved shapes blurred in the darkness. We lay there and talked.

“Remember when you called Mr. Flader ‘Dad?’” I’m certain he blushed.

“Yeah,” he mumbled. A pin dropped in the minute of silence.

“I kissed Zion in ninth grade.”

Steven did a double take. “Nah. You’re messing wit...

Just Friends (Part 1)

I elbowed my backpack back onto my arm before smelling the chill fall air. Leaves streamed and swirled, performing a dance of their own. I added a small hop in my step, inspired.

“Emmie!”

My best friend, Villa, quickened her steps to match mine. “Hey girliepops,” she smiled. Her rich, vivacious brown hair was down today. Peppy, light blue eyes begged to tell me something.

“So yesterday I had p...

Humanity’s Neighbors

There is a species who have long inhabited the earth. Their presence is not undetected as humans flitter over them, but their intentions are. Their small bodies inching along, their so-called “metamorphosis” after the case of the munchies. Concerning, it is, how easily mankind can fall unaware without realizing it.

Of course, whom I speak of is none other then the catepillar. Prickly to velvety, ...

Silence In The Sea

Rays of light warped its way to two shadows on the sea floor. Two tails flicked sand. Spare ropes, now a poor sailor’s only remains, rustled with movements.

One shadow moved upright. “I want to leave.”

Mercy met her eyes, incredulous. “Is your head in a clamshell? Feeling alright?”

“I’m being serious, I think it’s good idea for me to stop…” Lucy distressed, “Stop suffocating myself.”

Glory To The Pigeon Empire

EliseKK

1 min read

If a pigeon, thyself would soar beyond the heavens. Skies, seas, deserts explored. Thy cloudy-colored wings mark airs above, releasing screeches of such ferocity from my weird-palette throat. Beady eyes and misunderstood threats at those distasteful, freakish, two-legged butts.

However… indeed they do build stone blocks in particular shapes, providing worthy perch to establish sovereignty.

Tomorrow’s Uncertainty

Can I live to see tomorrow?

Will I make it through the day?

These questions rally in my mind

And demand quite a say

The pink sunrise

and yellow sunset

Both sadly mark

More time I’ll forget

Another writing prompt, another story,

Christmas snow or springs blooms,

A new year and Florida trip,

A beautiful new nephew

My beautiful life,

Is it mundane?

Am I grateful?

Glad?

Will I enjoy another rai...

Beginning Revenge

1 min read

The group of woman crowded around sobbing Alice. Her mascara ran and her heels lay shunned. Her only desire was to be swaddled. Blankets. Chocolate. Sugar. Tears. Cuddly iguanas. Understanding.

Weapons.

Her support group clicked on Titanic but no one was really watching. They were plotting.

Alice’s boyfriend Bryant of thirteen months, eighteen days, two hours, and two minutes had just dumped h...

The Revenge

“Hey. Dream of me?” Alice says playfully. Her knife scrapes the stubble of my chin. The gleam catches my widened eyes. My heart stutters.

“Alice, please. Please.” The thick, rough restraints rub my wrists behind this cursed metal chair. My senses are heightened to extremity. Dust flits in rays of light. The basement is musty. The tap sprinkles an individual drops.

Doomed. From a fight about wha...
