Wrench: Chapter III

After we exit the establishment, I observe the rest of the town and begin to think of the next task for me to do.

I planned to reach civilization, but what for?

I form a hypothesis that it has something to do with my past, but I can’t really remember that much, just what the small human reminded me of.

That I was created by a man, or a woman, it never specified.

I decided to travel to the nex...

Wrench: Chapter I

I don't remember anything about my past.

All I know is that on August 1st of 2050 I was awoken by a young scraper using a blade of some kind to awaken me.

I didn't know who she was, so I stood to my feet as a form of defense after probably sitting down for at least 5 years.

As I got up the young scrapper had a look of terror in her eyes, so I gently sat back down to not scare away my new visito...

“Well young lady, you better be glad, that y’all have that extension of power on y’alls hip, because I wouldn’t be giving alcoholic drinks, such as yourself.”

“Penelope, is this queer information true.” I ask in a slightly harsh manner, not on purpose, it just slipped.

“It might be a little true…” She whispers while looking up at me in an apologetic manner.

“I will just have to… (both the large...

Hard To Breathe

I’m holding my breath today,

Why? I’m not allowed to say.

Trying to survive in this mess I created,

Bringing back anxiety I reinstated.

Crawling on my knees,

Stinging from a thousand bees.

I don’t wanna wake up anymore,

Insanity is burning at my core.

Give me mercy for the will to plead,

Don’t hold me back from doing the deed.

Needles are digging deeper under skin,

Staying sterile for the sake o...

Red Drums

The air parted with a flash of heat, inches from Ren’s face. There was a grunt from the soldier next to him as his body slumped to the ground. An arrow protruded from his chest. Ren stumbled back, his breath hitching. A drumming began in his chest and ears. The beat of a body knowing it was about to die. The drums of war. Soldiers around him raised their shields as an onslaught of matching red arr...

Walk Forward

“Aren’t the trees pretty? They are so tall and mesmerizing. The flowers are pretty too, but don’t touch them, they don’t like it, they only want to be admired. Be careful, make sure you stay on the path, its dangerous to stray from it. Make sure you always walk forwards, there’s nothing behind you that isn’t in-front of you. Never look behind you, its all the same, flowers and trees, and the long ...

The Girl With No Voice.

I wake up to the sound of tires riding on gravel I sit up to see where I’m at. It takes me a second to register where I am but once I do, i see I’m in the middle of the woods riding along a path. it’s a long narrow, gravel path. my eyes dart to the front of the car. I hear slow low humming in the front. I go to tap the man’s shoulder to sign to ask where I’m at but I stop at the site of him. he’s...

High Above the City

The swing groaned

Its rusty chains making a kind of sad, rattling sound

I watched the city from the swing, a blur of motion and noise

And it felt like the swing was trying to keep up, like it was trying to tell a story

I often wondered what happened down there

Why the whole city was in chaos and why was i brought up here to hide

These are questions i constantly trouble myself with

"This is ...
