“I told you what would happen

If you disobeyed me!”

Did you?

Did you really?

So now I’m laying on the ground

Trying to catch my breath

After the solid punch

You laid in my gut

You stand above me

Face red and flushed with anger

Chest rising and falling in quick breaths

You stare at me with so much disgust in your eyes

That used to hurt me

That used to make me cry

I wou...

“I told you,” My friend said, “Told you what would happen if you disobeyed me!”

“What in the world is that play?” I asked with a disgusted face, “Sounds like something the devil would say.

“Bruh, have you not been listening to me?” Rya asked.

“If we’re being honest here…” I said in my usual casual/sarcastic voice.

“Yeah, yeah, I already know the answer,” She rolled her eyes, “Well, todays the las...

Georgie could see the last few rays of light fading from the sky and all he could do was watch. He watched the sky like it was something he’d never seen before; a beauty hidden above his world of darkness. He knew it was highly likely this would be the last day he’d see to the end and he wanted to hold onto a least one pleasant memory, a pleasant memory that he couldn’t lose or have to invent.

S...

Lie once.

Lie twice.

And thrice more.

Here you are to pay the price.

Your boots made their arrival heard, ringing out a tremulous beat. The gangway rasped in a pained plea for you to leave. Even the frayed fibre tried to cajole you into heaving yourself up the sharp incline on their jagged teeth. No. You would not fall for the devious whispers of the Rising Ghost.

“Out me way!” Simple wo...

Two teenagers dated two times. The second time the guy said,”What would you do if I got an earring?”

The girl said,” I wouldn’t date you anymore. Don’t disobey me.”

A week later, the guy says,”Are you free for dinner?”

The girl says,”No.”

The guys says,” No!?!”

“Right no. I told you that if you got an earring I wouldn’t date you anymore and I told you what would happen if you disobeyed me.”...

Continuation of Their Father’s Crimes and My Name is A̷c̷e̷ Alex

Trigger warning: mentioned removal of an eye

Ace had been wondering when their father would do something to them. He knew, after all, that his beloved ‘daughter’ was fighting him, and definitely knew that they were still using their ‘ridiculous attention-seeking’ pronouns.

And as if that wasn’t enough, then they were openly atten...

Triggers: Domestic violence!

His hands shook as he stared down at the broken plate on the floor.

Fuck, not again... this was the third time he’d broken something, and the bruises on his stomach, neck, legs, and arms were still fresh from the last two times.

Hearing the front door creak open and slam shut, his whole body trembled like a terrified Chihuahua, knowing what was in store for him.

“J...

“I told you what would happen if you disobeyed me!”

My mom still had the wooden spoon in her hand, ready to hit my bum again if she had to. You see, a wooden spoon is a cooking instrument. But not for Portuguese mothers. For Portuguese mothers a wooden spoon is a corrective behaviour tool when children are naughty. Slippers would often do the trick too.

After that smack I learned not to go snea...

I told you what would happen

If you disobeyed me!

A kingdom of destruction,

And of physical obstruction,

I said:

Just follow my instructions,

And there’d be zero repercussions,

And now there’s nought but ruin,

And the start of my undoing,

For I told you what would happen

If you disobeyed me....

“I told you what would happen if you disobeyed me!” I whisper venom over his face pressing my dagger under his chin. I watch as the blood bubbles around the sharp tip contrasting against the darkness of the blade.

His lips shutter as he kneels in front of me. Fury courses through me the longer it takes for him to say something.

I get even closer, pressing my lips ever so slightly to his ear, “...
