“She’s not who she says she is”
But she is.
She’s a storm. Ready to attack. Ready to topple mountains in her wake and create fresh breeding grounds from which hope, love and strength can blossom.
She’s grand oak. She stands firm and proud , defying all opposing forces. Providing adequate shelter for all who need it.
She’s a sea. Beautiful yet strong willed and ferocious. Helpful and merci...
You grab and pull the metal door open, an unearthly screech rattles your body and you step forward with the bag in the gripped in your other hand.
You close the door behind you, walk forward toward the hooded figure at the desk in front of you and slump down in the chair across from them, you take ur gun out of your back pocket and place it on the table.
You slide the battered bag across the t...
To my mystery dancer:
It’s at night where I feel truly alone.
When the animals huddle together for warmth amidst the cold winds.
When people turn and shift in their beds, sweet unconsciousness enveloping them.
When the various bodies of water ripple calmly reflecting the moons incomparable beauty.
It’s at night when I feel truly alone.
But I’m not really.
When I look at the moon it shines ...
Somewhere in between sunrise and sundown,
Hope had drifted away from me like soft breeze.
All because of something…someone that I once knew.
Personally, intimately, that I loved oh so beautifully.
And where they had once brought light and life to every room,
Darkness took up residence snuffing out the remainder of their light.
Not only from the world but from our hearts and smiles.
You were...
“And for the last game. The instructions are as follows. Right now you are faced with a psychopath, talk you way out in five minutes or meet your end. Good luck player #367”
The intercom cut out, my eyes bore into the eyes of the man in front of me and his into mine.
“So…,” he drawls “anything to say for yourself. Better be quick Lady Luck doesn’t seem to be on you side this time player” He t...
The bodies lay around me,
Varying displays of grotesque images
Plaguing my mind.
The fatigue in my muscles,
The clench of my jaw.
The dull familiar ache in my heart.
It’s too much.
I fall to my knees.
I cry.
The tsunami of foreign emotions drowning me.
Anger.
Fear.
Regret.
Sorrow.
I don’t bother to try and free my self.
I just let it wash over me and drag me under.
Maybe I it wanted...
I slung the backpack over my shoulder and placed the suitcase next to my leg. I pick Zaine up and push her face into the crook of my neck, positioned my hands under her bum and turned to face the door.
“Don’t look for us or I swear to god you’ll regret it” I say with a commanding tone.
“Wait! Let’s talk about it. You can’t just take her from me!” Reb- Zaine’s mother cried hysterically.
“You ...
“Ok. Liam is it? You and your friend are our prime suspects in this case, so tell me. Why were you there? And please spare no details” the officer explained.
“Funny of you to ask that. You know it all started with a simple question…” I replied.

(*Flashback to 5 and half hours or so*)
“Hey Liam wanna see what kind of trouble we can get into?” Emily queried, throwing herself on my back whils...
I stare at the burning embers of my misdeeds as I slowly put my phone to my ear the rhythmic ringing of the phone almost made silent against the crackling of the fire. I wait. The line connects. They start talking.
“Heyyyyyy Nathan. Dude wassup? My friend excitedly greets me.
“Yo man. Nothing much man, nothing much just a few thing here and there. How are you?” I reply calmly as a flurry of re...
“I’m a h…” I mumbled halfheartedly
“What? Speak up! You know I hate it when you mumble” Eliza reprimanded me
I take a deep breath. It all feels like a mistake now, but I know there’s no going back she’ll just force me to tell her in the end. So here goes nothing.
“I’M A HERO!!!” I screamed at her. My lungs burning from the effort.
I couldn’t afford to catch her gaze. I don’t even know why I...
