It was in that moment, I realized that nobody in this facility could be trusted. I passed the inmates at the poker table; they gave a passing glance to see if I had the gal to join their little game again. It wasn’t that I didn’t have the gal; I was just fed up with [...]

It was like a shackle around my ankle. I was bound to it, like a prisoner. They lenched every dime from my wallet without thinking twice. My house was now a jail cell…and it would consume me…

She rummaged around, with a crooked walk, tripping over her own two feet. Her curly hair bounced back and fourth and her face was marked with pure confusion. I knew I was going to love her for the rest of my life. “David…David, have you see my pen?” I smiled from ear to ear. “I [...]

I scooped her up in my arms and looked down at her matted face of toil. A kitten with only three legs, one eye, and no claws. “How much do you want for her?” “Eh? Oh. Um, she’s pretty jacked up. Just take her, nobody else seems to want her.” Funny. I’d heard that in [...]

I spent hours working on it. A plan to destroy him by means of love. A disease implanted inside me. I sought him out and played the game like HE always did. It started with a few drinks, that look in his eye…his sideways smirk. Touching, leading to kissing, leading to bed. He’d get one [...]

He looked at me. And I looked at her back through one eye, and a long barrel pointing to her: I have the power, I’m bigger than you, I’m at the top of this food chain. “Beast!” My gun cried. But as we stood, eye to eye, I saw that her glassy, frightened eyes. I [...]

There was a certain bias attitude in the order she calls us out. A teacher. A faculty member, who should remain as Switzerland; neutral. Everyone should be beautiful, smart, intelligent, and unique in their own way. But her narrow eyes scanned the class with a sickening judgment, like an ancient, heartless god naming the higher [...]

It was theory, of which we’d been mentioned several times. But as a butterfly, I never thought it would really apply to me. But I fluttered at the sight of that gorgeous creature, and the next day, a typhoon has occurred on the other side of the world. I had to leave that girl I [...]
