earring
He filled out all his piercings today you noticed. one two three four five, a bar stretched across the curved top of his ear, you stared.

manager
“hold it, i’m talking here” he held an index finger her way, not even batting an eyelash. meanwhile her coworker glanced apologetically over, though he also didn’t dare interrupt to mr. manager’s intriguing morning traffic ticket tale.

lightning
Lightning crisscrossed between the swamp of dark clouds, he narrowed his eyes, hands clutching his bow and arrow tightly.

limo
the limo skidded slightly next to the curb and a variety of colors pour from inside.

mint
the mint leaf leaves a slight cool breeze on her tongue, she breaths in the scent deeply. summer is here and she thinks she’s just found the perfect ingredient for the ultimate summer scent.

canteen
the steel canteen dropped with a loud clang and its content spilled on the classroom floor. plain rice. he stood petrified.

booth
it wasn’t simple. being as shy as she was and sitting inside the dollar kisses booth. it wasn’t even a stupid bet. it was a stupid gamble. she’d had curious males and females stopping by. wrong, all wrong!

wrath
rapture saturday, just perfect. we’re way past due anyway. who are we to say we’re even worthy of a higher power’s wrath now after we’ve been shamelessly incurring layer and layer of wrath upon ourselves.

domestic
dinner, woman. lily calls in her fake deep tone as she enters the house and kicks her shoes off haphazardly around the door way.

mole
This one! he grabbed you by the collar and threw you in front of the judges panel. He’s the mole you guys sent to our team, he gritted his teeth above crossed arms. Defensive and offensive at once. No way, the girl pursed her lips, missing front teeth parading. That runt is useless all together, we didn’t even pick him.

tempted
he chews vigorously. there’s no flavor left in the gum now. still chewing. he can smell cigarette smoke coming from colleagues at the back. he grinds down on the tasteless rubber.

curious
kitty kitty, come back. she calls after the little white fluff that’s just disappeared behind the broken, creaky door of the abandoned house down the road. “kitty” isn’t her cat, but she’s been feeding her for a week now and some kind of 5 year old sense of responsibility has been cementing.

forgotten
I moved my antique desk and low and behold, a forgotten mood ring dropped from nowhere and bounced right in front of my toes. the gem has gone back to the dark blue color. i racked my brain, what was dark blue again.

vodka
vodka, on the rock… please. the bartender furrows his brows and sternly asks for my ID. I reach slowly into my purse, the slick black one I grab from my mother’s closet, looks mature I think. whether it adds 5 legal years to my appearance though, is quite a lost cause.

wasteland
a simple thought flew by, hit the sand dune and was neutralized. train tracks crisscrossed on dried, cracked soil, running endlessly into the far horizon.

bones
BONES!!! the little girl next to me screeched. normally that would have done some kinda damage to my ear drum, not at the moment, for the whole crowd was buzzing in a similar manner. i frantically texted my sister, Karl Urban’s in the scene!!

console
the spare x-box console shakes violently. i drop mine, startled for a moment. it’s shaking so hard now it’s practically jumping up and down on the glass table.

crew
crew cuts are soooo last year. the tall blonde announces loudly as she brushes your shoulder with just as much force when she passes by with her minions. you adjust your glasses and scurry to your locker, head tucked deep behind your heavy books.

waver
you have 5 seconds, the automated voice loomed from above and she wavered. these last 5 points would mean the championship or going home empty handed for her team

heel
Crap, my Archilles’ heel! I stepped right into that trap. My sister was across the room. She held the card and smirked triumphantly. My stupid mistake and her trump card, there was no escaping this doom.

eyeliner
you look like a damn panda, his father slams the door in disgust. he continues to bold the line that frames his brown almond eyes.

camp
there are heavy footsteps outside of their tent, just circling around. Lela draws even smaller inside her sleeping bag. she’s turned off her flashlight. she closes her eyes and plays a rock.

dinosaur
goddam you did it again. tomas screams in between huffs. they’re running across the great plain amongst a herd of other preys. can we like, grab one of these guys? xander suggest, jumping over a pile of something. the t-rex’s roar thunders over them. oh what the hell let’s do it!

bandana
he wears a black bandana around his shirt color, the smirk is barely visible in the sandy year book picture. it’s only four years ago, yet it feels like a whole life time. he’s cleanly shaven now and the bandana is forgotten elsewhere in an ex-lover’s bedroom.

fluorescent
the fluorescent light burns inside the small hut. the smell of alcohol and boiled snack overwhelms his nostrils. he grips his cup tightly, the brown liquid inside floats gently.

chorus
“Dishes!” her mother screams from their living room. she slams the door and continues packing. must be about 8 pm, her train leaves at 10.

trailer
she’s from the trailer park that’s why. i whispered loudly into a friend’s ear, loud enough for the mousy haired girl right in front to hear it and just right so the teacher lecturing at the front of the class wouldn’t catch wind of our gossip. suddenly I could see the board much clearer. the mousy hair sunk down.

intersection
they met at that intersection. crossbone, blood, and a buried box. she was summoned against her will. she didn’t want to go. she’d in fact just come back exhausted from her last assignment. yellow eyed just happened to be her de-briefer. oh how he favored her.

puzzled
She walked down the isle, puzzled. the figure at the other end is shrouded in white light, his face an illuminating canvas. white, untarnished, unfamiliar.

iron
I used to be such a good girl you know, until it happened that I was so good my fiancee ran away because I wasn’t what he bargained for. The fool. We picked him out from a profile of good boys with squeaky clean reputation. My mother even said it, he might have been too good for me. I wonder how those words taste on her tongue now, that sweet irony.
