no matter what

I step left. You can’t see me. I step right. No more fear. It’s just a game. So, I shrug. I’ll get my way. I’ll get my in. It’s a dance to me. I’m watching you. I find what I need. I feed you. I feed back. I get what I need.  You could move…

fire

Early in the morning and the thing she wanted to do was hit a tree until her fist would bleed. The knuckles, streaming the red viscous fluid. But eyes fixated on this spot on the tree. On the place she was supposed to hit repeatedly. Didn’t care if there was pain or permanent damage. No,…

a mini fairytale

Footsteps echoed down the great hall. It was stark white and cold. And it it, the people, equally as cold and shallow, watched the young woman – her footsteps the only noise. She was done up way more extravagantly than she was used to by any stretch of the imagination. A dress that whooshed and…

beautiful stranger

Dreaming  On the soundscape Journey is composed of a million pictures linked together by a single word Sonically sleeping in piles of leaves and scented flowers and euphoria A dream pushing me along as I chase the light Journey on the train Shadows painted fluttering across my eyes and I blink from the sun From…

view from the hill

Car drove them around windy bends. They sat in silence, not out of anger or fear, but because they knew the road. They knew how to take it all in. Old song playing on the radio from another time. Had this beat that as just like… Mmmm… Yeah, it was good. Once they got to…

the list

Her shoelaces were untied and everything she had – all the bags, jacket, an orange, cell phone – it was all either in her hands or draped over her arms as she rushed out of the apartment. On the way out she almost ran into a man that was taking very long strides, but she…

An order off menu

At the counter, tepid tea rippling to the edges of a cracked tea cup. Tingling silverware, plates and bustle. The general, mostly predicable movement of servers bringing food, coffee, the check to the tables. I was about two and half hours in before I noticed the concerned, pittying looks. And from then, the game begins. …
