TW ED (another excerpt from a book I’m working on)
The stretchy blue
tourniquet is tied around my
arm.
The nurse feels around the
crook of my right elbow
for a vein.
She shakes her head,
undoes the tourniquet
and ties it onto the other
arm.
She feels around some more,
and unwraps the butterfly
needle from the plastic.
“I usually only use these on
little ones,”
she says,
“but your veins are s...
I’ve always been curious:
why do all my friends leave?
I know I’m a bit clingy,
is that something I should grieve?
I get anxious if a clock ticks,
and if a phone rings.
I get anxious if a dog barks,
and if a door swings.
How much time do I have left?
Who could be calling?
Does the dog hate me?
Should we start talking?
I like to cling to friends
I actually have.
I’m sorry if I’m anti-social.
I’m...

“Lily, do you mind if I run to the restroom for a moment?” Fiona asks hesitantly, one hand covering her mic, “I’d need you to cover for me.”

"Oh deary me, Draxxie, you really di...

My stomach churns in violent knots as sweat beads trickle down my forehead.

My hands shake
As I sign my name on the divorce papers
The lawyer is a kid
From my high school
Who, ten years ago
Copied my notes
Before Geometry
His suit is freshly pressed
And smells like linen
But I can hardly see it
Through my tears
I cannot help but wonder
As I watch him
How did we get here?...
At age six I'd sleep with the lights on, afraid of the dark
My eyes darted at the front door
Couldn't really keep it steady
The darkened themes
Seemed to hunt me
What's lurking in the dark?
Ready to attack me once my eyes closed
I'd be frozen by the corner
