After a long night of experiencing the ghost of unique thoughts and the ghost of joyful thoughts I exhaustedly collapsed on the bed and closed my eyes.
The sound of whistling wind appeared in my unconsciousness. My dream of flying a kite on the beach came to life. A low whisper of something was in my ear. It was incoherent so I ignored it. I felt warm wetness on my hands. I looked down, startled...
To be or not to be that is the question. To be…does that mean to be alive? Does it mean to be a mass full of atoms dead or alive? To be would be just being matter and life or death would not matter in this case. At what point would we truly disintegrate and cease to even be matter?...
It had been 10 years and nothing had changed. The sereneness of the water reflected back the memory of the day that his body met his watery death. My heart started aching as the wailing escaped my mouth. The expression of the grief overwhelmed my senses as I dropped to my knees and wailed louder and longer. A darkness overcame me and I felt powerless to it. I could not move and the wailing sounded...
I took the scalpel from the supply cabinet to begin the Y cut. The slicing did not slice and the skin was still intact. I looked at the scalpel and saw that it was already dull from trying to make the cut. What the? I moved closer to the incision point and there was not even a single nick. I grabbed another scalpel and tested it on the tip of my finger and it was sharp as a scalpel could be. I tri...
I nonchalantly plucked at the strings on the guitar sitting on my lap. The twang reverberated through my ears and goosebumps raised on my arms like braille. The music touched something deep in my soul. My fingers moved along the strings more quickly and and it electrified my whole body causing a euphoric high. The last strum gave me a relief like that I hadn’t felt in a long time....
You are my moon, stars, and sun yet I am the nothingness of the dust of the Earth. I get brushed aside and and disappear when you look at me. The pain of this is too much to bear. My heart literally constricts with pain knowing that you will never see me the same way. How can I get rid of this aching for you before I die from the pain?...
I settled into bed as the soft ping from Facebook messenger rang. I casually picked it up to see who the message was from and there it was… Hey there, just wanted to say hi. My heart sank when I viewed the profile of the person who sent the message. It was him, the predator who I was traumatized by 5 years earlier. How could this be? Last I heard he was still in jail. I started calculating in my m...
The frigid air blew around me and lifted me from unconsciousness. I couldn’t feel my extremities any longer and I slowly kept drifting in and out of consciousness. I knew if I closed my eyes again that would be the end and I would peacefully fall into the darkness rather than fighting to stay alive. If I could just stay awake a little longer then maybe someone would find me....
I clenced my eyes shut to escape the reality before me. The scraping on the concrete was getting louder. If I was going to die I did not want to be aware of it as it was happening. The scraping stopped and I felt a sharp cutting pain pierce my abdomen. Well this is it. I felt something crumble over top my feet and I fell backwards with my head smacking the concrete with a crack. Blackness overcame...
