I wake up to a buzzing in my ear. The sound of _losing determination._ It may seem a little strange, but I just don’t feel like a good enough writer anymore. I mean, all I do is eat an entire bag of pepperoni and just lay around cha...

Bzzzt!

ā€œAs usual, going in a more fun direction hereā€


Fred Arrendale couldn’t sleep. He was too alert, too conscious of things. He was lying there in the dark, in bed, in much the same way that people would wait for a train, staring at the sign above the platform- the one that read, ā€œTrain arriving in fourteen minutes.ā€

Fred was convinced of just that, that the train would arrive. When, after a t...

I didn’t start it

Trust me, it wasn’t me this time! I know it’s hard to believe but just for once listen to what I say… ready? Ok…. I woke up and heard a loud buzzing sound right next to me. My eyes julted awake as my hand Instinctively reached for the noise as if it was an alarm clock. But no, of course it wasn’t. I groaned, and stood up to find a weird machine right next to my bedroom, yes I know I make a lot of ...

Insanity

Where’s it coming

No funning

So annoying

Stop deploying

Your tactics

Yo be fanatic

Not romantic

Can’t your hear

The grinding gears

Don’t you fear

That this buzzing

Will cause

Insanity...

p.a.i.n.

Pain.

I turn over & wake to pain

There’s a buzzing in my ear,

A stabbing pain that’s in my ear


I can’t get rid of it.

I curl up, press my hand to my ear & hold it

Wish it to go away

It stays.


I want to cry

I want to stay curled up

I get up

I go to my parents’ room


Go to my dad’s side

Wake him up

Curl up next to him under the blanket

The warmth of his body provides my shivering one w/ enough hea...

Sapling

The smiling woman faded away into static. Her mouth moved, but her words were drowned out by the buzzing as it grew louder and louder...

Clutching my ear, I groaned and rolled out of bed. I tried to shout, to stand up and reach for the doorknob, but another wave of buzzing flooded from my brain and into my limbs, snuffing out my voice and forcing me to my knees.

Ever since they came, it's been get...

Haunted

I stir in my sleep as I hear the same buzzing sound in my ears like I have for the past 4 years of my life. I shift to a sitting position rubbing my eyes. I look over to the night stand and notice a shadow darkening the already dark wooden frame. I per my eyes over to the cause and freeze.

As my eyes take in the tall frame I panic

Is that…. Mark? My ex boyfriend? No it can’t be… he’s in jail.

I la...

Arrival

The dulling buzz eroded me from my sleep. It was dark, pitch black outside my window. I laid still in bed, not wanting to move from the warmth of my blankets. The buzzing continued, right at my ear. I turned my head, the sound moved with me, changing in frequency.

I sat bolt upright, and the room grew still. The digital clock in my nightstand glared 3:17 AM. It’s red glow barely illuminating the r...

Tunneling

I swat at my ear, batting the mosquito away. The little bug has been at me all night, in and out, tickling me. I sigh and turn, pulling a pillow over my head, but somehow it creeps deep in there, too, and continues buzzing. The trees sway in the wind outside, sounding like a thousand whispers. A dark sky promises rain for tomorrow. Beneath the stars, in the tent on the campground, I’m reminded why...

Where Am I?

It’s probably 2 A.M. in the morning, but I can’t be completely sure. There is no clock beside me for me to check, all I see is the flashing red circle of light above me. It feels like I am encased in a small room. Feeling the wall beside me, I know it’s glass, but it has another layer of something outside of it because of the flashing light on the ceiling.

Buzzing in my ear had woken me an hour e...
