Kelly K commented on the post, losses 9 months, 3 weeks ago
It’s a terrible thing to experience losses at just a time frame of one year out of high school. To think that he was sitting in the same classroom as me for 80+ minutes a day, dreaming of college and beer, […]

Kelly K commented on the post, holder 10 months ago
I was always the holder, always grabbing and touching and carrying and waiting. And as we moved through the store, through the meat aisle and the pretzels and yogurt, I would hold some more things. And then even […]

Kelly K commented on the post, suspects 10 months ago
She suspects that once her friend arrives, she will no longer have creative juice, as if she had it to begin with. The idea spun in her mind like a ballerina, so full of life and pristine in its efforts, yet […]

Kelly K wrote about the word destruction 1 year, 9 months ago
The destruction of all that was normal to me happened so quickly. Suddenly, new trees shaped my view from my window, and new grass fixed between my toes. A new person was living in the exact same 11×11 room as me, and a new lifestyle began even though I did not want it: College. Put [...]

Kelly K wrote about the word megaphone 1 year, 10 months ago
Her heart yelled like a megaphone, tearing at the very core as she stood there watching him board the plane. It would be the longest seven months of her life as she took on the job of homemaker and pregnant mother…alone. The sky seemed unusually dark for a Florida afternoon; she hoped it wasn’t a [...]

Kelly K wrote about the word bow 1 year, 10 months ago
“Take a bow.” I didn’t want to listen, but I did anyways. She thought that just because I had committed such a “terrible crime” that she had some superiority factor over me. This wasn’t true. But I still bowed the most over-the-top, faked bow anyone could ever perform in a jail cell at three in [...]

Kelly K wrote about the word plague 1 year, 10 months ago
I was plagued by the last words he spoke before boarding the train, exiting our world we had molded perfectly amidst the summer winds and scalding pavement. I had some sort of intuitive feeling that this kind of abandonment was common with summer romances, but never by him. He had promised since the day we [...]

Kelly K wrote about the word cast 1 year, 10 months ago
He cast away so many impossible trials, and eventually all that he was left with was a cinderblock cubicle and his thoughts. Unreachable like a wedding ring plunged deep into the sea, he wrote. And when he tired, he wrote more. The stories made up for all he had shoved into closets, for all he [...]

Kelly K wrote about the word stem 1 year, 10 months ago
The stem of his decease was growing thicker each day. I walked into him resting his head on a pillow like a perfect pearl to it’s oyster; there was simply nothing to fix him. His broken body reflected every inch of shattered glass that lay on the interstate for investigation, maimed and unrepairable.

Kelly K wrote about the word crane 1 year, 10 months ago
I craned my neck to get a better look at their whispers. She acknowledged my eavesdropping and ignored it, knowing she was getting underneath my skin. A mother-in-law: pessimistic and selective. I figured this would happen but I never imagined it would get to be this controlling and downright obnoxious.

Kelly K wrote about the word braid 1 year, 10 months ago
The blanket was the last braid to their relationship, the last thing that reminded them of the many nights they shared together and the many future times they were disappointing. From the doorstep, she glared into the kitchen at the glimpse of the bright red hair that single-handedly stole her best friend from her. Nothing [...]

Kelly K wrote about the word honest 1 year, 10 months ago
The perks of being honest about everything that had happened was a list that could go on forever. Instead, he chose to twist the truth like some flimsy hot pretzel and keep the rest of us wondering. Nobody said that he was a liar, but there is no doubt that he openly spared us from [...]

Kelly K wrote about the word wade 1 year, 10 months ago
She waded into the ocean like a child taking his first steps into his mother’s arms. Nothing made more sense to her at that moment than the transparency which grew in front of her. Shattering the waves with her skinny wrists, she felt there was no reason to turn back to the menacing storm of [...]
