Empty No-More

You stare at the hard cobble ground, your feet pounding against it like sticks to a drum. You look up and stop abruptly at the sight. The first emotion shop to open in your quiet, boring village was less than twenty steps away from your house. A few years ago you would’ve been shocked by the idea of extracting other’s emotions just for a little happiness, but now, after she died, you hadn’t felt a...

E-motion

With a blank stare, the emotionless Devin slips through the revolving doors and enters the bustling mall, also full of alarmingly mundane and monotonous shoppers. Everyone around him seems to be dragging their feet, including him, as if it was 8am Monday morning. This is just how people were - most of the time. As Devin advanced towards the E-motion store, he walked by some rolling on the floor in...

Short Cut To Fulfilment

Darkness could shroud and distort the most vibrant of colours and obscure the busy life’s of a packed city. A dark cloud hovered over my head, drenching me with every negative splash of rain, as I moved quickly to get to a place of shelter, out of the rain that made my clothes heavy like the burden I carried everyday, my eyes adjusted as it seemed I had lost my way. These streets had been around s...

The Happy Pill

All that I could feel was numbness. Even a prick of my finger didn’t make me flinch. I needed to buy one of the emotions.


He is in town today and as I head out the door the coins jingle in my pocket. Each different coin hits one another. God I hope I have enough money for one, I think to myself as I shut the door behind me.


He normally sets his tent up in the middle of the courtyard for everybo...

Black Market

“I can’t believe your really going to do this Ana,” Luna said to her sister. “We said we wouldn’t do this after what happened to you and mom. It might seem like an easy fix but is it really worth it?”

Again said Luna, the younger naive but still so sweet sister of Ana.

Ana always admired her younger sisters sweet nature and positive view of the world, even so, Ana knew a different world.

“Luna I...

Numb.

That was all I could feel. That was all anyone could feel. Unless. Unless you bought from the seller. He traveled from town to town selling and making profit.


He was in town today.


The pieces jingle in my pocket as I made my way through the crowd. People love the seller. His long white beard and tall hat stuck out in the crowd. He stood on a wood block shou...

Love for Sale

Love for sale

Or do we sell

That passionate emotion

For pennies on the ocean


We speak of love lost

Or love at all cost

Never to have loved

Maybe protects from above


But what is love

Other than lust in the mud

To be shed when done

Lost when no longer fun


I think I’ll save my money

Rather spend it on tea and honey

At least these things are real

Bad love never heals

Rage

*Click clack click clack*

Christian Louboutin red-bottom heels clicked on the floor with attitude as Christy pretended that the entrance to her local Walmart was a red carpet event. She always made it a point to dress her best anywhere she went, in case she saw someone who spit on her. Her looking good was how she spit on them.


A tall, dark man with a backwoods hoodie looked ...

Emotion

I saw a warm smile, but I couldn’t give one back. I see contagious laughter, but I guess I never caught it. The warm fuzzy feeling that people experienced, well at least other people experienced. I never felt happy. Sadness swallowed me like a sable eating a rat. One fast strike, and just like that I’m done, I didn’t even get a chance to fight back. I never could have imagined that I could be happ...

Joy is brought through the Lord’s love for you

Joy is also from love from family and friends

Joy is a puppy cuddling on your lap

Joy is a cat purring from within

Joy is exhilarating emotion when you win the big game or meet a goal or score g...
