“It’s not fear I smell, it’s future,” encouraged the scientist.
“No, I’m pretty sure it smells sweat, and it smells bad,” I disagreed.
I have been participating in a study attempting to prove that humans are also attracted to pheromones. That means I had to sweat profusely in a shirt that they will ask women to smell. I was a bit uncomfortable with that idea.
“You see how people get closer to ...
Berserker.
That’s what they call us. Famed for our savagery. Lauded for our reckless fury. Mythologised for our frenzied destruction.
We stride the fields of our battles, unleashing havoc; our howls, our mayhem, terrorising both enemy and ally alike. Do they see me as bear or wolf? It matters not, for what they see is merely the harbinger of their earthly departure. We are merely the bringers of...
His helmet rested against the wall, his heart pounding against his chest; fingers clinging to the gun, and his thoughts filled with prayers as his officer repeated the words.
“You’re going up top!”
He prayed with shaky breath as the sound of boots approached.
“Did you hear me Riggins? I said you’re going up top!”
“I … I can’t please.”
The officer’s hand grabbed his collar as he pushed his fac...
Its not fear I smell, it’s future
Even that sentence is complicated
I fear itself and the future
I didn’t realize how much I ran on that
Fear based ideology
Fear based choices
How do you even unlearn that?
I feel like this situation between the two of us is teaching me how to unlearn
Almost forcing the hand
My hand
To unlearn what my father taught me all those years ago
That’s why things are...
I have been resisting my true self for almost my entire life. It took a mental breakdown to force me to sit with the sadness, fear, trauma, to realize I have been forcing my existence.
It's like over all these years
I've been living with a tumor, that kept growing and growing because I knew it would hurt to go in there and rip it out.

It is not fear I smell its future
I start sweating and feeling crummy, I close my eyes and breath in and I can smell the sweet aroma
The smell of fresh cotton
The feel of the sun beaming down on my face
The sound of the waves crashing into the rocks
Then I open my eyes and see that I am on my own
new start to my life
It is not fear I smell it future
I close my eyes again
and imagine my f...
It’s not fear I smell, it’s the future.
I used to have it all
A sign upon my wall
With my back against the wall
I fall
It’s too late for me now
I am broken
It’s something inside of me
Hiding from myself
It’s fear that I can’t separate
From my dreams
From my darkest desires
It’s here
Stay clear
Of me and myself
I cannot love without
My aching longing
Wading through
My residual fear
I hope I don’...
When I think about my life
The thought consumes my mind
My emotions start to take a turn
And tears start to fill my eyes
What if I can’t reach my dream
What if it’s not within my reach
Is my destiny meant to fail
Will rage echo off my screams
My senses flare at the idea
And I start to no longer feel secure
It’s not fear that I smell, it’s future
And the pain that I may endure
For if my fu...

“I’m just Glad I have you, I know I don’t say it a lot but there.”
“Awh, Luke, I didn’t know you were such a softie!” She lightly punched
“I didn’...
“This new land smells of fear”, noted Diego ,”New people who hate us more than anything. If that doesn’t insert fear into you, I don’t know what will”.
“It’s not fear I smell, it’s future”, I stated boldly. My friend stared at me blankly.
“What does that even mean”, asked Diego thoughtlessly.
“It means that I do not think on fear in our present time, but what my future holds were that fear is...
