Despite her best effort, Amy hadn’t been able to bring herself to attend the gathering after Danny’s service. in all honesty, she had barely been able to make it through the funeral itself. All too aware of the stairs as she had been, that followed her throughout the day, watching her like some side exhibit at a science fair, just waiting for her to implode.
She felt like it.
She couldn’t handle...
Lamenting the death of my partner, now 5 years alone.
Over this time I’ve come to pick up their old habits and routines.
Sitting crisscrossed in their dining chair as they always have.
Saying farewell to the sun as it sets in the evening as they always have.

My dearest friend, did I inhabit your heart? Did you exhibit it with every lingering gaze you sent my way? I remember your eyes catching every word that I uttered as if it were a precious jewel. But look at how I’ve treated you. I let our love never start at all because I was afraid to face my own heart. One day, I thought I’ll say it aloud.

Sitting here in a cage, in a costume, being tortured. I am beaten, and I am bruised. Chained to the wall of my prison, a prison that the ...

Her skirt was tight; fitting against her slim body
She had little range of motion in that skirt
It annoyed her
But no matter, she had a mission
Being an aspiring artist, one must find inspiration
In whatever, whomever, or wherever

Caspian was captivated as the meld dance played out in front of him. Limbs weaving effortlessly between ripples of silvery skin. He was a small boy skimming stones on the Loch once more.
Hobart observed him, a wry smile on his face.
‘You see how they inhabit one another’s body? As if two minds have become one?’
‘It’s mesmerising’ Caspian was snapped back to the present by the old man’s interj...
He stared at the row of paintings. He lamented his decision to put on this exhibit at all, let alone to show the pictures of her. He stared guiltily at the first, her smiling back at him with that coy grin that had disarmed him from the start. His gaze drew along the row as her image grew more distressed in each one until he settled on the last. Almost unrecognisable, her withered sunken face judg...
