Final Goodbye

Being next to your side

the connection click so fast

I often think why


First time I saw youu

I was like i wonder how

you are then as we connect

I learnt and understand

that you were very smart


Often did many wrong things

but I never put that against you

because I was understanding

you had people against you


People who didn’t like you

people who wanted to fight you

it was going back...

D&M The Ending Part 1 (Maisie)

Davian’s words echo through my mind. “I’m not abandoning you.”


His face looked so broken when he told me that he killed my mom. He didn’t mean for this to happen. For us to fall for each other.


I know he didn’t mean for my mom to die. Because I know the real Davian, and I’m in love with him.



I pinch my hand, my heart racing a million miles a second. After Davian pushed me out of the way, af...

His worst fears confirmed

Selander tapped his fingers against his knees, impatient. It was rare that he was waiting for things, and even rarer that he should have to sit in such an uninspired location.


Here, the sky was overcast, what little breeze there was carried with it the cloying stench of pollen. And the wooden slats of the bench were so carelessly laid so that no matter how Selander squirmed, he couldn’t get comf...

Waiting Room Hell

The room was quite full. I look around at the different walls and notice one is painted a lime green while the other is a bright white. Such an odd pairing for a waiting room in my opinion. But then again I’m not entitled to one.

I continue to examine the room cause there’s not much else to do. The floor is half carpeted and half wood. There’s fake plants in every corner. And every patient ...

Periwinkle Walls

I try to picture myself like her; a gentle song rolling off of her tongue and a soft glow in her tired eyes. Pulling all the strands of her neglected hair into a bun plopped atop her head. It feels like we are in completely different worlds. I try to fathom the graciousness, the benevolence, how she became so utterly meek. Not once have I felt a pull to become like her, for I have not a docile bon...

The Man And The Room

A lone,man waits cut off from the world.cold concrete cell looked on in the horizon.a glass pane spans the room,the man stoop staring in to a deep blue cosmos as countless stars moved drifted on

Lazily from left to right,”at least I’m moving the man thought.


He’s clothes had changed.as for when that he can not tell you from the stark green jumpsuit and the id badge to a clean,white tracksuit no p...

Uncommon Kindness

Stephen walked into the doctors office feeling tired and all alone. He approached the receptionist desk with his head hung low. “How are you feeling Mr Aquino?” Susan asked behind her big desk. “Day by day Sue Day by Day.” Susan looked at her screen then looked up “ just have a seat please, Dr Cronin is running a little late but you are next.”


Stephen took a deep breath as he entered t...

Different Perspectives

Me and your mom wait in the waiting room at the hospital. Waiting for the doctors to tell us about you. Me and your mom are hoping you will be ok.


The doctor finally comes out your mom is a mess. She has been crying. The doctor says I’m sorry to tell you this, but I don’t think she’s going to live. At this point your mom is hysterical. I hold her tight trying to soothe her. And trying to keep my...

Phones In Heaven

“No No, this is heaven. We are not going to take your device away,” said the cute little cherub-like angel as she handed me back my phone. “The only thing is, up here your phone has only one app, everyone loves it. In fact, the other heavenly souls spend so much time ‘on’ this app that some of us think the whole thing is just a bad idea. But, no worries, the app is already installed on your phone ...

Waiting Room
