• Lindsey commented on the post, plague 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    It reached into your bones, through your muscles, until you could feel it in your core. Not a pure darkness, but black all the same, slow-moving, like sludge, thick and patient. It was the last thing you would ever feel, and that made it all the worse. It was a plague.

  • Lindsey commented on the post, themselves 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    They call themselves angels and I don’t know what to believe anymore. Can’t trust them, not yet anyway. Who knows what they might do to me. I can’t stand the incessant ticking of that clock that refuses to move, the constant whispers in my ear, the ringing noises. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just don’t know.

  • Lindsey commented on the post, breath 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    One breath in, not a deep breath, not a sigh, just a normal breath. Cold air swirled into his lungs, and then back out again. A smile widened on his face, or more of a smirk. Teeth showed, white and sharp. The […]

  • Lindsey commented on the post, magazines 8 months, 3 weeks ago

    Rin picked up one of the magazines off the table in the waiting room. She hadn’t expected to be there for so long, and was quickly becoming bored. She now saw why Soren didn’t usually accompany Echo. Coughing […]

  • Lindsey commented on the post, patrol 10 months ago

    I didn’t know why we’d been chosen to patrol the site. I mean, out of all the possible people to do it, why us? We were barely trained, we didn’t have a clue what we were doing. We’d be killed without a chance […]

  • Lindsey commented on the post, separate 1 year ago

    I watched him as he smiled at me, and I let the tears fall. He couldn’t give me what I needed, couldn’t make me happy? Well this surely wasn’t helping. I knew that we’d still be friends after all this, that […]

  • Lindsey wrote about the word wasteland 2 years ago

    It was a wasteland. I couldn’t believe that just a few hours ago, people had been living here, children had been playing here. The thought made me sick. To think that there would be a third World War had not occurred to me a few days ago. The smoke rose up around me and I [...]

  • Lindsey wrote about the word bandana 2 years ago

    The only evidence that the dog had had an owner was that small red bandana around its neck, with a scrap of paper attached to it. “Please keep me. I have nowhere else to go.” I sighed. Another dog was a bit much, but I had a feeling it would work out fine, and I [...]

  • Lindsey wrote about the word severe 2 years, 1 month ago

    The storm was raging, one of the most severe there had been in this area for years. A high, squealing noise is swept away by the wind, and thunder booms nearby. The sky lights up several times as lightning strikes, so close you could almost feel it. The squealing noise had come from a wild [...]

  • Lindsey wrote about the word connected 2 years, 1 month ago

    “Everything is connected.” I whispered as I gently touched the silvery wings of the dragonfly that had landed on my arm. It twitched it’s head to one side, and then flew off. “In a place like this, it’s easy to see.” I looked around at the trees, tall and deep green. Birds sang their songs [...]

  • Lindsey wrote about the word structured 2 years, 1 month ago

    We had structured our lives around each other, from the moment we met, as small children on that lonely little playground. I was left there. No one played with me, I wasn’t like the other children. My eyes were bright blue violet, and as if that wasn’t abnormal enough, my hair was shades of grey, [...]

  • Lindsey wrote about the word woven 2 years, 1 month ago

    I smiled at him as we exited the classroom. Ah, Friday. I held my backpack in my hands, and as soon as most of the crowd was gone by, I twisted it up over my shoulder. It seemed as if he had been pulled away by the crowd. I wouldn’t be surprised, so many girls [...]

  • Lindsey wrote about the word approach 2 years, 2 months ago

    I approached him, in the hospital bed. And this was all my fault. The machine at his side beeped over and over again. He was looking out the window, at who knows what. I was scared that he’d be mad at me, for getting him shot. I sat in the chair beside the hospital bed, [...]

  • Lindsey wrote about the word policy 2 years, 2 months ago

    I watched as his motionless body fell limp, and a sick smile rose on her face. I was perfectly still. One single, hot tear ran down my left cheek. And I lost it. It was policy not to act this way. But I couldn’t help it. All of my reasonable mind was gone, and I [...]

  • Lindsey wrote about the word gym 2 years, 2 months ago

    I hate the gym. And gym class. I just don’t like it. I suck at sports. They make you feel sweaty and gross. Plus I’m lazy. And that’s pretty much all I have to say about this glorious subject.

  • Lindsey wrote about the word figure 2 years, 2 months ago

    I saw him there, walking down the street, looking at the house. He slowed, as if contemplating coming to the door. But I knew he wouldn’t, his father and cousin forbid him from seeing me ever again. I turned away. I couldn’t bear to watch him go by, like he didn’t care.
