ohthekings wrote about the word epiphany 1 year, 7 months ago
In the books, it always describes it as “It struck me”. I found this funny. That wasn’t how it happened. It sort of snuck up on me, a sweet little cat that seemed like it just wanted to play until it bites your neck and you jump back. You see it coming, but you just [...]

The walls were made of stacks of woodpiles. The piles were intricate, put together lovingly, the hands of the humble citizens leaving their unique marks. The man laughed to himself as he set fire to the first pile, then the second, then watched the fire spread down the wall. All the works, the only mark [...]

I giggled at the stream, flowing onward and onward, as if it were getting somewhere, but always the tail of it would be just a little ways away, never reaching its destination. He placed his hand on my shoulder gently, but I could feel the impatience brought on by worry. “Please, darling, calm down.” I [...]

I was shaking from the very base of my being to the outer, physical reaches of my arms. There wasn’t a part of me that didn’t regret the atrocity just committed. Right in front of me, by my own hands, devastatingly beautiful and gruesome. There wasn’t a sight that could cover the imprinted death in [...]

It was clear, that nothing was going to be found out this day. They were breathing down our necks like we were supposed to have the answer immediately. They had no idea what our job was like. No one did. I couldn’t even describe it to my wife. I would smile at her sadly and [...]

Kaci wrote about the word couch 1 year, 9 months ago
I’m sitting on the couch writing this. When I think of the couch, I think of the place I’ve been sleeping for the past seven months. I’ve had a problems with my room since falling into this awful depression, so I’ve been spending my nights on the couch… not too sure why.

Crouch…. I’m at a loss. The first thought that comes to mind is a tiger. Tiger’s crouch before attack. Before they pounce on their next meal… time is ticking and I’m not sure what else to say… my cat crouches before running after my dog. Watching them go at it is entertaining. They have a [...]

Kaci wrote about the word celebrate 1 year, 9 months ago
My birthday is October 3rd, right around the corner. Normally, I’d want to celebrate. I’d want to have a cake and open presents and see friends and family. Not this year. This year I’m not myself. The past 7 months have been hell. I know when my 21st birthday arrives, I won’t want to celebrate.

ohthekings wrote about the word concern 1 year, 9 months ago
Concerned with the amount of work he was putting in, I began to sleep more so I wouldn’t think about it while he was gone. If I fell asleep, then when I woke up he could be there, and there wouldn’t be a gap between his appearances. The look in his eyes didn’t concern me [...]

Kaci wrote about the word concern 1 year, 9 months ago
I’m concerned about myself. Depression is no joke. I’ve learned that the hard way. Sometimes I don’t know what I’m capable of… I haven’t done anything to harm myself in any way but the thought has crossed my mind… I’m just stuck in this awful rut and it’s hard to see the light at the [...]

The average guy. There’s nothing too special about him, nothing about him that one can really make fun of for too long. The average girl. Pretty, but only in glancing. Can hold a conversation, but the words are not remarked upon afterward. Put the two together, make the two fall in love, and they are [...]

ohthekings wrote about the word clipped 1 year, 9 months ago
The hair fell from her face. There were no words to describe how she felt. It wasn’t just a little trim. She was changing everything. Shear it off, hide everything by taking it all away, that mass of curtain-like hair. To disappear into the world of no recognition, to run away from all that was [...]

Vision of division. I’m not feeling at my most creative today. All that pops into my head is the Grand Canyon. My parent’s divorce. Job. Ocean and shore. Simple things. I don’t want to let my head fall into that surface-level dump, though. I need to stimulate it, remind it that it needs to be [...]

Avenue I walk this broken avenue To stretch my weary legs Everything is crumbling Beneath my burdened weight Sidewalks like broken glass Asphalt like clay Water running to sewers Will not drain away Dark clouds are rolling in I can feel it in my skin As I walk this broken avenue My world is caving [...]
