They came at her, slapping and punching at her, tearing at the very fabric of her soul, making her wish she had just gone a different way, had never come here at all. As the tears flowed, and she crumbled, her best friend said, “Holly, you know, it’s only an internet forum and you can click out of it.”
Frustration
Frustration
It was our first football game and we were behind 32 to 0. He took it upon himself to inflict pain on the opponents by pinching an d biting at the bottom of the pile of players, unfortunately one of his own teammates received the second bite.
Never Alone
Petrified by the booming silence, I feel the need to scream. I hear a voice say, “It’s okay,” and I melt into a sobbing blob of joy.
Assumptions
I assumed I was allowed to go to a friends house when my mom said go take care of it. I am now grounded for three weeks.
Alone
To his satisfaction, finally the wall was built.
Only in time did he begin to wish he’d added a gate.
Brand
I got a scare a few weeks ago when confronted by my own mortality.
I feel much better now thanks to your brand experience.
The Ending
The day they had betrothed themselves to one another, Gabe was inebriated, having taken a handful of the little blue pills he had grown to adore more than even his next meal or breath.
So this unfortunate ending, sitting across from the love of his life signing papers issued by her attorney, The Great Neuterer, seemed the fitting finale to the union he had taken for granted for the last time.
Hence
Will the me of ten years hence look back and grimace?
I bet he’ll not like “hence” sitting there like a clod.
Nightmare
The lady whose son almost drowned said “of course it was a mother’s worst nightmare”.
As soon as she said it I wondered if she had had that one with the box puppets, the creeping dark and the man rolling the stone across the endless cold marble.
Patience
He stood there staring at her patiently, watching her eyes dart from side to side, up and down, her face a beautiful study in motion, from frowns to slight smiles, to perplexed, to curiosity, and back to frowning again at the object in her hand.
Finally, his feet growing sore and his patience growing thinner, he asked her, “Have you decided on your order yet M’am?”
Hostile button
Each adult has a button connected to sex marked “hostile to the world”.
If it’s not pressed every few months or so, watch out.
Contribute
Sometimes I think the only point of us being together was for me to give you a word and a little game that you’ll play with your kids.
And that will be the only thing I contribute to the world.
The School Clock
While the boy with sticking-out ears, we all call “wing nuts”, winds the Silky Oak “Herga & Co of Brisbane” school clock, he places one of his wing nuts against the clock and straightens it so it goes “tick – tick” and not “tick – tock”. If it went tick – tock it would go slower and slower until it eventually stopped.
Birthday
Your birthday passed on by and I pretended not to really think about it.
But I could think of nothing else.
Get better
All my friends say it will get better.
And I say it’s a soufflé – this is as good as it gets.
Getting Up
Downed, again, amidst all the rush and tumble, the trash and the defeat. Everything I ever wanted was lost, and then I saw you again, and started again, because that is what you do to me.
Damsel in Distress?
The knight kept bravely challenging the dragon and riding around in front of his cave, until he was unexpectedly knocked unconscious.
“Chauvinist,” the princess said, putting down her mace, “Like I needed rescuing!”
Another secret
Hey, want to know another secret?
It’s really hard to make new friends without drinking.
Actions may speak louder than words, but words will always influence actions.
Words can make you cry, laugh or even sing with joy, which is why we must never forget them.
Lie
I love it when we lie babe!
I wuv you too!
