He dropped to the ground with a heavy thud. Hitting the pavement so hard that his eyes bulged like large fried eggs, he grinned. I stared in horror as he got up, his crumpled body shaking with excitement, or pain I thought. He spoke to me in a hollow voice “Good day ma’am” he said. Is he for real? I wondered aloud. He walked off shakily, still smiling diabolically, walking into the night away ...

She knelt at the foot of the throne, curled over in discomfort. Gripping her hollow stomach, she groaned. I saw that she was grinning.

“You feel you’ve won, still?” I asked her, coming closer with my blade.

She appeared like a crumpled paper bag, but her eyes met mine and there was still life in them.

“I always win, boy. In your dreams, you’ll see me like this. You’ll suffer without me here....

I watch the other kids play in the park, I wish I could play too but they scream at the sight of me. Once I went out to play and they threw a rock at me and my tooth broke so my father took me to the dentist once my mom threatened divorce. My father could not even look at me, even he thinks I’m a freak. My mom is the only one who loves me she says “my smile makes me special and everyone is jealous...

Empty inside, he always waits.

He is thrown into the trash can, ever so patient.

Nobody likes his pearly whites.

He has heard so much about Nobody:

How she wants him,

How she loves him,

How she needs him.

He is fascinated by Nobody, and wants to know her.

After all, she seems to know so much about him. It would only be appropriate.

She must be invisibl...

He looks both a millennia and a few decades old at once. His golden circlets rust is the only indicator that he has been around for far longer than even gold can withstand.

Caranic had become used to this position: sort of splayed out on some cold hard ground, covered in dirt and grime and blood, his body fractured with injuries.

It didn’t matter where he was, he would get out of this situation. If only he could get up.

“Get up, Caranic,” the voice inside of his head echoes again. It’s a familiar voice though it’s not his own.

The voice belonging to the one who ...

The hallow man cries

Crumpled to his knees he grins

I lost myself. Gave myself over to the lazily ebbing waves and the plasmatic sky, littered with stars, glistening and surging and surrendering. I lay there, afloat in this abyss. The sun bore down on me, its relentless rays baking my parched figure. There was an empty feeling in my heart, hollow. I knew that this time would come, but still I resented it.

I imagine connected these words together a raven sitting on a hollow tree begging people walking by for worms to feed himself to enter the haunted hay ride

The person passing by the crow responds by offering a fake gummy worm in effort to satisfy the bird he is guilible so he doesn't acknowlege its not what he expected on this halloween night...
