The ground was tough and compacted, mulch chips buried not too far into the grassy carpet.
Each step felt like walking on cold tile.
The grass seemed to shiver with the wind, recalling some sort of traumatic memory within its roots.
It could only watch.
_Oh, what a beautiful meadow._
_What horrors took place underneath the sky’s yellow?_
The grassy valley was framed by mountains and forest in...
Jeremy hated tourists.
Their flowered button-down shirts and bold personalities, their strange accents. Everything about them felt so wrong and intruding.
He hated coming across them in his home.
They always walked slow down the sidewalk, taking pictures of things so ridiculous he wanted to laugh. Jeremy caught one photographing the old-run down coffee shop that doesn’t use milk when they make...
They both sat together on the swinging bench, their shoulders hunched and eyes down. The only sign of another person nearby was the slight motion. One they each found comforting.
The invisible man never existed. No matter how hard he tried, no one would notice him. That was until one day he sat on the old bench in exasperation. To his suprise a voice appeared from beside him, as if cutting throug...
A flashy red color was an attempt at sophistication. You could see it clearly by looking at the mutts accessories his owners was attempting the high-class life with very little education of the customs.
The dogs fur was hard to describe, so was his color. He was just… average. His watercolor fur varied in splotches of grey and tan, his fur was long and scruffy despite how much grooming he receiv...
Tiny little offs
That throw me off course
The train curves off the track
But no one holds remorse
Too small for a change
Too large for them to see
I sit here stuck
With my pet-peeve
The tapping of a shoe
The feeling of nails
The taste in my tounge
The sloshing of water pails
They make me shiver
Cold down my spine
If only I wasn’t so bothered
And could finally recline
I want to recoil
Go back i...
A rope around my waist strangled me as I peered into the darkness.
I shined my flashlight down the cave.
All I saw are walls and rocks. Pillars indicated twists and turns. A smile couldn’t help but explode on my face as I peered deeper and deeper.
“Looks like we got ourselves a labyrinth.” Larry said, his familiar catch phrase echoing throughout the tunnels.
“I’m ready when you are.” I said, w...
I hate the way they walk
The way they talk
The way they dress
I must confess
It gives me a migraine
Every time it rains
Like the lightning in a storm
They’re something you can’t ignore
My silent rage
As they walk across the stage
Always excelling
In both math and spelling
It doesn’t matter what it is
They’re always better, they never miss
Always jump back up again
Always on top, until the en...
Harsh, cold waves tossing me throughout the water. The chill sends shivers down my spine, but my body can barely find the energy to shake as I push up.
Further up.
Gasping.
Trying to find relief for my lungs.
Pain.
No, that’s not the word.
Tension.
Like my lungs are being suffocated.
I reach the crystal surface, following the moons soft trail, gasping for breath just to be shot down by ano...
A tiny pink figurine
Dressed with lace wings
A skirt around her thin waist
And pink shoes like a bean
A teddy bear with overalls
Two twin buttons blue
Two eyes and a grin
Saying hello to you
And old plate of copper with a date
So rusted you can’t see the shiny face
A regal man and a house
Smaller than a mouse
A thin silver wire
A gem that never tires
Reflecting despite the dark
A flying bold ...
Each season it’s own
To each its own tone
A soft whispery breath
Or loud declare of success
Bright and bold colors
Throughout the seasons
The birth to others
The sun shining for a reason
The harsh thoughts
No light can melt soft
Tendrils that glow
Pearly white snow
The flood of warnings
For the season coming
Brightly red gasps
And bitter green grasps
The grass is green
Soaking in the beams
...
