Windex

Lorelei

1 min read

A bus full of band kids. Storage full of instruments quickly empty as they grab and enter the competition building. An hour passed and they’re on the way home Groups and students pair up with a few wandering between. Jokes being told when all of a sudden we hear a wheeze and a windex bottle. A short pause and the mechanical spraying sound continues. Every sound except the windex bottle stops. We a...

Complicated Beauty

The theoretical concept that most life that dwells within the confines marked by the planets land has beauty holds true.

Science has yet to prove this thought, however most people agree. The living things dwelling below this sky, is beautiful.

Personally, the things that don’t have clear beauty, have the most beauty.

The things you must dwell with, balled to mess

The delicately cared for

Curtain

The note. The hold. That feeling as you put everything you have into the song. The music swelling behind you. The feeling of your stomach tensing as the air you had, slowly dwindles to nothing.

Every scene, every song, every moment with your mates just seems like it will last forever. Like a family you can always run to. Wether it be tuning or changing into costume, it’s home.

Oh and the curtain...

“Day three of discovery X

Legs. It grew legs. I don’t know how or why but it has legs now. I have no idea what this is. Honestly it’s freaking me out. I don’t think I should take that thing back home. Though if I must it will be dead and bagged.”

Nothing new. Nothings changed with X. It hasn’t grown or moved at all. Somehow, that’s more unsettling ...

The Yin’s Yang

The sun is bright; the midnight moon illuminates the land.

A painting has colors; while songs create melodies that caress the ear.

The mountains are giant; the canyons are vast, with overwhelming depth unknown to men who gaze.

A child is hyper; as the ocean waves and flows in a dance only it could perform.

The opposite of straight forward; is it’s most beautiful compliment....

Forget Me Not

No no no! This was such a stupid idea! Why did I ever get hydrangeas and tulips, he likes calla lilies and Baby’s breath! Okay okay, it’s okay at least he seems to like the pink….. this room has no pink in it…. No! I’ve messed it all up.

I can feel my face, I must be blushing as red as a rose. My heart is racing and I’m struggling to keep my breathing under control. All his words are running toge...

Requiem

“……please, I don’t want my family to sing a requiem. Not yet”

That’s how the letter ended. No signature, no ‘sincerely’ nothing. I mean I guess it makes sense. You receive a letter written by yourself but from another world, what would you even expect to see as a signature? Anything other you writes would sound insane.

Anyway that’s aside the point, me is in danger. Wait that sounds we...

Where The Green River Flows

I’ve never quite seen a place like this before. I’ve been hiking for years and I haven’t found another spot like this old quarry. They’re pretty common around here but so far this is the only one with a green pool of water. I’ve been curious about it for a while.

Todays the day though. Today is the day I dive in and see what’s below. The water itself is pretty easy to see past but the color is wh...

“It had been fifteen years since the sun had last risen.” None of us know what happened or why, but we had to learn to live with it regardless. We stopped wondering if the sun would ever come back up. Goodness there’s about fifty of us that have no memories of the sun at all. So when the sun finally came back up, no one knew what to do.

See I’m one of they fifty (or so) teens that have no mem...
