umbazachika commented on the post, soap 1 week, 2 days ago
I washed my hands with the old yellow soap. The bubble grew and grew taking over my hands. They disappeared, only to resurface every once in a while. The hot water covered the mirrors in a layer of steam, making my reflection blurred and fuzzy.

She clasped her delicate hands together and shook them in my direction. “You are not understanding,” she told him. “Listen to me, you are not understanding anything at all that I am trying to tell you. She knows where it is. Let her be your guide.”
He turned his head to face me. “Can you do it?” he asked. “Will you do it?” -

I reached out and grabbed for his his grasping fingers. When our hands connected and intertwined it was as if I had been electrocuted. I gasped out loud and pulled him up with the last effort I could manage.

umbazachika commented on the post, bowling 3 weeks, 2 days ago
I wiped my hands on the old rag and threw it back on the chair. I walked over to the table and picked up a dark blue bowling ball. I went the start line and took 3 steps back. The ball, waiting right below my nose. I swung my arm back and skipped to the front and let it rip.

I made my move, swiftly cutting across the dirt. I charged in his direction, knocking him over. The hard-packed ground underneath our wrestling bodies. Holding him tightly, I whispered in his ear, “checkmate.”

The rabbit’s head popped out of the ground, searching in all directions for the source of the noise. It ducked down again and burrowed beneath the dirt, lengthening its underground pathways.

umbazachika commented on the post, welfare 1 month, 1 week ago
“The welfare of this country is in need of strong support and a strong leader,” Jack read out to the crowd. “I want to help, I want to help you and all that you stand for. It’s time to make a change and I want to be part of that change. To this era, I will lead you. Thank you.” Jack waved lightly to the crowd, gave them a small smile and walked off the stage. As he stepped down the last step, the crowd erupted in a thunder of cheers. His grin widened. His eyes found mine and he winked in that silly manner of his. “It’s hard to believe they are cheering for me,” he commented to me.

I was plagued by the thought that he might never return. That he would be forever lost in a dream world, where reality was not reality and all things untrue were true and false. What if he doesn’t come back? My strength is fading, I don’t think I could make it without him.

The amount of love that I feel towards you is no match for the amount of pain you have made me feel. I do not understand why I continue to wait and will my heart to heal. I do not want you yet I cannot live without you.

umbazachika commented on the post, hall 5 months, 4 weeks ago
As I carefully crept down the hall my shadow danced to different tunes from the flames of the candles. My footsteps whispered and my shoulders bunched closer trying to hear the words. I slowly made my way to the top of the staircase. I paused; breath in; and listened, tilting my head; breath out slowly.

umbazachika commented on the post, somebody 6 months, 1 week ago
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know. We didn’t have to part ways. Or say goodbye to the good ol’ days of hellos and goodbyes. I catch your eye but you look right through me, like we have never really met. I thought we were friends. Is this our end? I see now that what’s past is gone and left behind.

My breath, so long as it lasts, will keep me here. My sanity, no less that what you think, keeps me sane. My eyes, if only they were, take it all in.

I claimed to have been there, to have been a witness when really I had only heard first-person accounts. I couldn’t tell anybody the truth. This is a situation where each of us was walking on extremely thin ice. […]

The towers loomed in the twilight, hanging from the sky just barely touching the ground. Only a few lights flickered from their windows making it seem like stars could shine from here. I could see the orange sky […]
