Ice And A Heating Pad

Marx

1 min read

I can resist anything but temptation.

Hence why I’m now holding ice against my swollen ears. I wish I had a better story for you. I sized up my gauges. For those of you who don’t know what that means, I’m sticking acrilic cone shaped spears in my ear where one might have an earring in.

You know what, just google it....

I should be asleep.

I can’t sleep.

These socks are sweaty and gross.

GET THEM OFF!

The blanket is worse. I don’t want to feel my feet touching. Come on. Come on. Stop stop.

Don’t break your glasses.

What if I fall off the roof cleaning the gutters tomorrow?

I don’t want to sleep yet.

Why is my head itchy

Maybe I should shower now. It’s 12:54AM. Be smart. This is smart, my hair i...

Change Of Ways

Finally, I’m going to be free. I’m going to be able to run without his chains dragging me back.

Soon I will speak of his manipulation and maybe he will pay the price rather than a slap on the wrist.

I will breath without him in the front of my mind. I will dance as a free woman. He took seven months of my life away from me. I’m going to take more. I’m ready to get dirt in my nails.

I’ve been g...

If I’d said no. If I’d just said no….

**“So, do you go to school around here?” He pried.**

**“No,” I lie, pulling my jacket over my chest.**

**He was chipper. “You must go to school. You’re so young. You’re probably very mature for your age.”**

**I’d heard that phrase before. The last man to tell me I was mature for my age was more than twice my age and wanted me for inappropriate things.*...

Calm In The Snow

Marx

1 min read

Opposites attracting is the only logic to her blood in the snow. The contrast is art.

I curse myself for not bringing my camera. Her warm red fluids scattered across the pillows of snow.

Her ribcage is completely exposed except for her intestines that are strung up through the ribs like Christmas lights entangled in a tree.

I sat in my homemade museum, admiring the wonder before me. What a gift....

I remember her fear more than my pleads.

I’d never seen someone genuinely afraid of books. It was as if she thought the pages would give her a fatal illness.

“You don’t understand. Why aren’t you listening to me! You’re in this too. Help me. You have to!” I begged, my hands shaking.

She shook her head in disbelief. I just needed her to understand. I picked up one of the books that I’d had hidden...

I thought it wasn’t dangerous.

Our interactions were all online.

I didn’t imagine him as a real person.

This is real though.

I never knew I had ringing in my ears till now. I suppose I made an effort to never be in silence. I can hear my tongue clicking in my dry mouth.

Every time I think I hear someone coming down to the basement, my stomach tightens and I stop breathing.

I thought the stori...

Marx,

Hey. Everything is going to be okay.

I know. I know you’re trying.

Some people need a little more time.

There’s nothing wrong with you.

I’m sorry for how poorly I treated you.

You didn’t deserve to be put through that.

You persevered.

Now Marx. Listen to me.

Something is going to happen that will change your mind for years to come.

Kids make mistakes.

Yeah, you definitely knew better....

What if someone is standing outside my window waiting to see the light turn off through the blinds?

What if my teeth come out while I’m sleeping and I swallow them?

My mouth tastes disgusting-that’s what happens when you don’t brush your teeth.

Please go away.

I don’t think you understand how happy I would be if that…nevermind.

My teeth hurt.

If I solve this problem I’ll go away for a long t...
