    It was an assault on her senses. The market smelled like tourist sweat and dirty children. She longed for the days where this was her home, where the smell of food caused you to salivate and the people dressed in […]

    There were 12 suspects in the murder of John Doe. I knew who it was, but I also knew that no one would ever beleive me. There should have been 13, but nobody would ever suspect that she was capable. So young.

  • Niki commented on the post, stretcher 10 months ago

    They carried her out on a stretcher. I heard her screams for days, even though she was so far away that my heart felt empty. I prayed to a few gods I didn’t believe in and I wrote her a hundred songs that made her okay.

    The science of attraction. One of those books that tries to take away all of the magic you feel the first time you see a person you know you will learn to love. Like the ocean and the moon, I find science takes […]

    Walking down a long and lonely railroad. I don’t bother looking behind me, I’d rather spend my time thinking about the future. And if I don’t see the train then I won’t feel a thing. I hope from track to track […]

    In a sea of movement I stand like a statue, waiting for someone to grab my hand and drag me into action, into life. Crowds rush around me in a blur of motion and I wonder why I seem so invisible simply by standing […]
