The impression of the charred carrions of the villagers in their minds was the price had to pay. In a barren world with no plants or animals, food was a hard thing to come by.
Mystery Of The Lake
As the mist descended something disturbed the lake’s still waters. The creature rose out of the water, looked straight at me and smiled.
Goldilocks And The Three Bears
Goldilocks flew out of the house. This must be the worst B&B she had ever stayed in, lumpy beds, cold porridge and run by the oddest family.
Creature Comforts of Home
The night after his mother’s funeral, as Allen lay in the darkened bedroom heartbroken and feeling alone, a wisp of her perfume wafted by and a soft voice whispered, “Don’t cry baby boy for mother is here.”
Startled, he switched on the bedstand light, only to find his wild-eyed stepbrother, wearing lipstick and his mother’s favorite dress meeting Allen’s forehead with a wood axe.
Knock, knock
She knocked at his heart’s door. (Un)Fortunately no one was home.
What?
The point of this is to say that I understand the rules, No Hord stops. Ooops that was one, Thanks for this space {#2}.
Death Day
“It was early Spring when we died,” I began, my voice sad. “we didn’t know it yet, but the world was ending that day, and we were just caught in the cracks.”
Talking Books
At the local library he had been persuaded to take out a ‘talking book’. It had been wonderful to start with, but now the thing wouldn’t shut up!
What I’ve Learned
I’ve known Kathy for seven years now, yet have learned only one thing all this time. Her life’s been an open book!
SOME THINGS
Some things in life are just too hard to let go. But then again, for the sake of one’s sanity, it’s only necessary.
No free Ride
She told me she’d grown tired of riding along on my ego trip. So, I asked her for gas money and threw her out.
Chivalry
As I walked into the library, I held the door open for a young girl who was going out. She thanked me, walked through the doorway and into the cold mist.
Abandonment.
We vowed to give to each other all that we had.
I was left with nothing.
Victory Banquet
Two cannibals fought. The loser was eliminated.
A Plea for Perpendicular
Our potential, when plotted on a graph, yields a pair of parallel lines, beautiful and statuesque, yet bittersweet in their fate, destined to touch but not once in all of eternity. If there is even the slightest hope that we shall one day be together, one of us must bend.
Walking through Life
“With grace and dignity” he said to himself.
After which he tripped and fell.
Last One on the Train
Terri almost dropped her iPod on the floor when she woke up on the train after missing her stop and when she looked around the compartment, the only person she saw was a skinny man in a dark suit who was sitting in a seat across from her waving.
Terri would have waved back but the man was covered in blood and his severed head was resting in his lap.
As the small girl of four asked me to leave, I cried for home. The girl disappeared without a trace; I was left alone, although, there was never anyone by my side.
Stangers and Darkness
After ingesting a cheap bottle of wine, I met her in the darkened alley and gave her twenty bucks, not caring about her identity or appearance. We made love behind a dumpster and since that night, darkness always tansmits the urge for an erection through my nerves even though the permanently placed catheter never responds.
Sleepless Dream
It came to me in a dream. I’ve regretted ever since that I wasn’t sleeping at the time; it never came again.
