“What are you doing on the roof staring into the horizon and wasting your time??”
“I’m just searching for a meaning to this existence”
Bessie
Bessie, my white-faced golden retriever, trotted over to greet me with a smile and a wagging tail as she always does. She’s the best dog I’ve ever had, and I only wish I was still alive so I could give her the belly rub she so rightfully deserves.
R. I. P.
The battle had been particularly bloody with casualty rates spiking on both sides. As the smoke and haze cleared; as the dead were being recovered from their foxholes and the surrounding field; I took pause at how peaceful I look.
Green Veggies
My five year old son always wants to eat pizza for lunch while I insist green vegetables to keep him in sound health. He always wins by saying dead people can eat whatever they want, it’s not like he’ll die again.
Bait and Switch
I looked long into my bathroom mirror, not recognizing who stared back. When I heard a noise and turned around, I saw myself there, grinning, before the door locked shut.
The floor opened and the rope snapped taught. And though she hung by the neck, the witch continued her loud and shrill curse upon us.
Forever
“What do you think will happen if we all lived forever??” “The same thing that has been happening since we came into existence; killing each other and ruining the environment out of greed”
Leap
As she stepped up and out a sudden gust of wind blew through her hair, and as it flailed wild and free, so too did her heart, which raced with excitement at the thought of taking that next step. Breathe deep, eyes closed, JUMP…
purrfect pet
“Tiddles wants his food mummy”My daughter whines pulling on my sleeve. I wonder how to tell her that her cat died three years ago, in the sam accident as her.
boo
I was going to hide in the cupboard, she would never find me there. But it was taken by her late husband.
stream scream
I looked thoughtfully into the stream. Then I realized it was looking back
Daring
“Don’t you dare!” he shouted, running towards me, trying to get the weapon from me.
But I dared… and I dared skillfully.
Dark Side
They were delighted to finally hear I have a dark side after confessing, during our team’s drinking session, that I’ve carefully planned to really hurt people for making fun of me all the time. I was too glad to see them truly happy for me for once that I decided to postpone tonight’s plan for them until the next team gathering.
Drained
As expected, I saw another disgusting pile of my roommate’s hair clogging the shower drain. Irritated, I started to forcefully pull the strands out only to hear someone’s screams of pain screech out from the drain pipe.
Hair of The Dog
I woke up about 11 a.m. with my head pounding and my mouth dry. I’m still amazed the blood splattered all around the room and not on me.

Look Back
You suddenly feel the cold shiver run up your spine. But you still won’t turn your head to look back.
Anonymous
I received a text from an anonymous number, and when I read it, it said:
“What’s your name, little girl? I’d like to know who I’m looking at.”
Matters of the Heart
My ex-husband told me that he would steal my heart again.
It now sits in a jar on his nightstand.
Her Mother
My five year old daughter asks her mother to read her a bedtime story every night.
Her mother died five years ago in childbirth.
