“Did you see the last marvel movie? It was a total flop wasn’t it?”

James scrubbed at his bearded cheek and shrugged a shoulder.

“Dunno. Never watched any marvel films.”

“Oh.”

I stuff my hands deeper into the small jeans pockets. The autumn chills was definitely there now.

“It’s quite cold isn’t it?”

James looked down at me from the side and I nearly stumbled on a loose tile.

“I guess.”

He w...

Laura is on a mission. As her mother catches a short nap, she collects her old toys, a table spoon, her favourite moms magazine and gets the large Tupperware box.

She understands that this mission is of uttermost relevance and must be done to-day. It must be done to-day because the garden men that came early to check something under the earth had left a big hole and would fill it up tomorrow.

St...

The damn fortress felt like a heated oven in the unrelenting sun. The several layers of gear and his mask did nothing to relieve the boiling heat he felt cursing through his veins. Why did it have to be the Middle East.

So many other assignments, other countries to put a secret base in and yet these buggers had to choose the middle of nowhere.

Even worse, the order to infiltrate was given in Ju...

“Did you hear?”

“No what?”

“Did you hear?”

-“Did you hear?”

“Damn I heard..”

“Did you hear?”

I wanted to slam my head against the closest solid wall. The phrase was haunting me even when I visited the bathroom. Couldn’t take a piss without hearing someone echoing the cursed question.

“Did you hear about the guy who … you know.. wanted to commit suicide ?”

“Suicide? I heard he randomly started ...

“No you don’t get it, it will literally happen tomorrow!!”

I stop slurping my tooth rotting sweet tea.

“Tomorrow?”

“Yes tomorrow! It’s the only time we can get in there unnoticed.”

I know it’s not polite to eavesdrop but is it really eavesdropping if I’m in my own apartment?

It’s not my fault the walls are so damn thin.

“… Are you sure about this?”

The deeper voice sounds uncertain. They’r...

She gobbled down the chicken wings

Like a python before sleeping.

I watched her oily fingers and rings

And I knew she was for keeping.

Then she looked up and gulped her Coke

Asking “Why ya staring?”

This dinner sure will leave me broke

But we are the one true pairing....

The girl turned around to look again but didn’t say anything. He nearly wanted for her to stop and ask the question.

The “Hey aren’t you the guy who played in the series ?” spiel, for him to smile and admit that yes, he was indeed. But she didn’t. She just continued to the door and exited the coffee shop.

Simon sighed. He didn’t know why he aches for the recognition. He vividly remembered hating...

The façade falling,

Blood visible in the cracks.

The web of lies burning,

As the spider runs on our back.

Each knot and each string

Sliding apart.

Intricate design

No longer art.

The venom was fading.

It lost its appeal.

The bite still hurt.

Yet the pain was now seen.

Oh

It was all becoming real....

“Finding a way into tricky situations has never been a problem for me - although is till haven’t learned the art of getting out of them.”

“Mam you do understand you’ve been detained for murder?”

The police officer was not amused.

The woman huffed a laugh. Around 40-50 yet in great shape she had long platinum blonde hair, full lips smeared with bright red lipstick, was around 180 centimetres and...

They never believed me when i tell them. At first it was sweet, but now it was simply aggravating.

“Yes it really is my visit card. No I am not faking. If you really don’t believe me then come and see and I promise you I’m better than most.”

She stares.

The last sentence always works like a charm to pulls them in. People love holding their ground and proving others wrong.

“Well fine then. I wil...
