Two glowing red eyes peered out from beneath the bed. They watched as two kids ran around the small bedroom, toys in hand, pretending they were airplane pilots. Narrowing, the red eyes glowered until a voice called for the kids from outside the room.
Dropping their toys, both children giggled and ran out of the room. They seemed blissfully unaware of the eyes watching their every move. The instan...
I would be anything for you
You can feel it’s true
When you were a baby I was a bed
Rocking you to sleep and kissing your head
I would be anything for you
You can see it’s true
When you were a toddler I was a horse
Carrying you on my back through a set course
I would be anything for you
You can hear it’s true
When you were a kid I was an example
Telling you to say thank you and giving you a samp...
Destined to be forever alone
Trapped in a prison I’ve grown
From a single seed of doubt
I prepared to just go without
Because the mistakes in my past,
I assume, will make me an outcast
Nobody could care for me it’s true
But you say the same about you
You don’t know all I’ve done wrong
Terrible history that is sad and long
Decisions I have made like a fool
Building a reputation that is cruel
As ...
*Note-this is a continuation of a story I wrote awhile ago for a different but similar prompt. This will be stand alone, but it will make more sense if you look up the original in my profile*
Melissa stroked the grey hair of the elderly woman shivering in the bed in front of her. “I don’t remember…” she muttered as her eyes blinked twice and closed.
“Get some rest, Hellen,” Melissa cooed as the ...
I’m so glad that works for you
But I’m here too…
It’s nice that your having the time of your life
But mine is filled with strife.
Wow I guess that’s really really cool
But for me it’s cruel!
What do you mean you didn’t even know?
You have me feeling so low…
I wasn’t silent I just didn’t shout!
How could you be in doubt?
Is it too much to ask you to be able to see?
Can you hear me?...
Your past casts a shadow dark and tall,
But are you alone or is that common to us all?
You think if someone finds out they will run,
But why abandon a story that has barely begun?
Foolishly to everyone you start to compare
Rating your self against others causes dispair
No one like you has ever done enough,
But could you be that Diamond in the rough?...
She wants to know his secret. He hasn’t decided what it is yet. All he knows is what he told her: he has a secret that will change everything.
Of course, this secret can explain all of the recent changes in Mike’s physical appearance, his relationship with Sarah and can’t be discussed over the phone. The truth already hasn’t worked. It’s simply too unbelievable.
Telling—or even showing—Sarah t...
Our relationship was not transparent and clean
We never worked like a well oiled machine
Rather, we were like an organized mess
But it was beautiful nonetheless
An assortment of colors and shapes
Formed through trials and scrapes
That makes something breathtaking
An intentional design there is no mistaking
With just one common thread
Something that went unsaid
That we both put in the work
Wit...
Tracy scanned the pile of books the large middle-aged man set in front of her. A high fantasy book of high renoun stuck out to her. As she reached out to scan it back into the system, a gruff voice asked, “Actually can I renew that one?”
Looking up, Tracy gasped as an ork put a green hand with leathery skin on the cover of the book. He shot her a questioning look and pulled the book closer to him...
