Julia commented on the post, knows 5 months ago
He knows that she know and they both keep wondering why the other doesn’t do anything about it, the elephant in the room. “Their relationship is deteriorating, a friend observes, and apparently they want to stand there and watch it wither.” But the truth is that they are paralyzed by fear.

Julia commented on the post, scatter 5 months ago
The people scattered in front of him like so many particles of light, spinning and racing away. He couldn’t see through the glitter in his eyes; maybe they were just dancing. The drums behind him vibrated in his ears.

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication.
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation.
Excuse me while I go melt at that man’s words, perfectly describing everything I have and have not known, beautifully executed, […] -

The back of the car was dripping.In the dark, she couldn’t tell what. Quite frankly, water would be preferable. Or even oil.Yeah, a great big leak in the gas would be perfect. Sadly,the police didn’t call Joan and […]

Eponine24601 wrote about the word cabin 1 year, 3 months ago
It was warm by the fire. Granted, it only made a difference when one sat right beside the fire, but it seemed like a better idea to curl up beneath the stars with the fire’s warmth. The cabin was just too stuffy. And out there, beneath the twinkling sky, the two of them could be [...]

Build them up, tear them down. No, they are not walls. Walls shut people out. Walls push people away. But fences? It means you’re just waiting for the right person to jump over the edge and find you.

He breathed, in and out, in and out. His breath became shallow. Not much air left. “Please,” she cried softly. “Do not leave me here alone. There is no life worth living without you.”

Eponine24601 wrote about the word dessert 1 year, 4 months ago
It was thick, creamy, and way too rich for her taste. Chocolate cake like this was difficult to come by, though. Slowly she wrapped her fingers around the fork, poked a chunk of cake, and placed it in her mouth. She chewed laboriously, savoring the taste even though she felt like she was ready to [...]

The gray clouds rested simply in the gray sky. The bare trees created a dark outline against the sky. Time passed slowly, no signs of life anywhere. It was simple. It was melancholy. It was dull.

She climbed up the springy tree, going as high as she could. Her eyes swept the surrounding area, looking for any sign of water possible. Only the bright blue ocean stretched before her. Then she realized… “Guys, it’s a circle! The whole arena is a circle.”

The heart lifts, yet still it falls. The sight is too much to bear, yet the eyes still watch. The tears come, but do not stay. They still somehow manage to disappear. The frown that was once a smile reverts to its previous form, and the arm that was glues down rises to wrap around [...]

Eponine24601 wrote about the word spring 1 year, 7 months ago
It sprung forth from the ground, the last bloom of the season. It grew beneath the chilled September sky, face stretching towards every last bit of light it could reach. It could not prevail. As the sun set that very first day that it greeted the world, it too reached that endless sleep that marked [...]

I suppose things were good back then. But it all went wrong. As Fantine said, the tigers come at night. I suppose I really had no choice… I suppose this is how it was always going to end. I suppose that it could have never been helped. But I wish, with all my heart, everything [...]

Skin as soft as silk. Eyes like dark chocolate. Lips like strawberries. And oh, the dirt that stains them. In a voice of velvet, no less. You are an enigma. I think I know everything.

Julia wrote about the word poison 1 year, 9 months ago
Like a poison you seep through my veins, permeating every part of me. Like a poison you’re insidious, dark, cunning. Like a poison you taste bitter on my lips. Like a poison you sting my heart. Like a poison you seize my mind.
You’re killing me, but I don’t want to purge you. -

It was the last time they would ever see each other, he hoped. That boy did not deserve her. The bet had been cast, and soon after his plan was set in motion. It would be interesting to see how it all played out… “Devil take the hindmost.”

It was easy, and yet she still couldn’t bring herself to say it. She couldn’t just snap a heart in two like that. Since when had honesty become so difficult between them? Perhaps it was when his brother died. Maybe that was it. But how could she tell him that she didn’t love him anymore?

Eponine24601 wrote about the word wade 1 year, 11 months ago
The water glided across the tops of her feet, reaching her ankles. Right foot, left foot. Her knees. Right foot, left foot. Her waist. Right foot, left foot. Her chest. Right foot, left foot. Soon it reached her head, entering her nose and mouth, suffocating her; and yet, she never stopped wading.
