There is NO justification for THAT kind of behavior at a funeral!
“Over my dead body,” were her last words, weren’t they?
Abbadon
“Fill me O Lord with thy radiance and thy love!” We heard the Angel cry.
Although our destruction was great and absolute, we all agreed, “So terrible a beauty could not be denied.”
Oh Shit
I ran as fast as I could through the narrow hallway, hearing the herd of undead behind me, snarling and groaning, the sound of their shuffling feet making me panic even more. I was about to make to the exit when I felt a tug on my leg; I fell.
Gulp!
It was his first time making dinner for me, and I thought he did a great job! Until later that night when I felt it crawling back up my throat.
Midnight play date
There are few things that warm my heart as much as seeing my little girl enjoying herself with another child. I only wish she took her time with them because soon there won’t be any left in the village.
Goodnight
I closed the lights and made my way to the bed I shared with my sister; she was already asleep, a small lump on her side of the bed. I climbed onto the bed beside her and was about to drift off to sleep when I realized -my sister was at camp right now.
Stricken
I saw the lights in the night sky suddenly started dancing and the winds were stirring. I tried to walk but only one foot moved, to reach but only one hand moved, and then they caught me as I fall.
Silent Treatment
Mom and I never really talk after our regular shouting contests, but this long quiet is much worse than the incessant nagging. So I crept up behind her chair and embraced her to apologize——and to find her cold and forever quiet.
For Sale
I’m selling all of my baby’s clothes. They’ve never been worn.
The Deer Hunter
Drunk, the boys took out a revolver— imitating the infamous Russian Roulette scene from “The Deer Hunter”. It ended sooner than they thought.
Away
The quiet but incessant scratching noise from the ceiling had annoyed me throughout the day. I finally marched up the apartment block to my neighbor’s unit — only to see on their door “away on holiday, back next month”.
Alive inside
Speechless,I was very happy to see my family again. I only wish I could have told them I wasn’t dead, before they closed the coffin lid and lowered me into the ground.
Courage
“Ghosts don’t scare me!”, I shouted and the ghastly figure disappeared. I was relieved but then I heard a whisper from behind my left ear saying, “Who said I am?”
Post
Everybody started commenting and laughing at a funny comment on my status message. Then we realized it was from an account of a friend who died on that exact day a year ago.
Piss Shivers at Midnight
Shuffling out of bed, I feel for the bathroom lights. A hand grabs mine.
Dilemma
I’d really like to sleep with the barrista at my favourite coffee shop. But if things get awkward I’ll never get to have one of their fantastic lattes ever again.
A little light flirting
A smile, a flick of the hair, a well placed laugh – things were going my way and damn, he was hot. He smiled back, and it was only then that I noticed the ravioli on my chin.
Peripheral vision
There is an old man who lives in the corner of my eye, standing just out of view, whispering just out of earshot. At night I lie in bed in bed frozen in fear… because I can no longer see him, but I know he’s still there.
Judgemental Child
Yellow, green, red, the crayon box inside my head. Orange, purple, blue, I’ll pick a shade to color you.
Hidden
The moon was the only source of light that made it visible enough to see her legs as it peered out from under her bed.
