covered

I am covered in skin, no one gets to come in, pull me out from inside, I am folded and unfolded and unfolding, I am colorblind

She was covered in a shroud of unforgiving thoughts. How could she forget what happened when she was living with the demons that came with that memory. she walked with the weight of that day hanging off her shoulders, pulling her down to the place she belonged.

misty

The dark sky loomed above her. She looked down towards her feet. The ground was misty. The hot tears falling from her cheeks disappeared as they fell to the ground into the fog. She was too far into the forest to remember how to get back home.

refuse

I refuse to let this get me down. It was horrible, and uncomfortable, and disgusting, but I would suffer through it with a positive attitude. I had my animal crackers and my elephant key-chain. I would not be defeated by this cold.

i refuse to let myself fall. sometimes its hard, sometimes i just want to give up. but you have to refuse to fail. i get confused and lost but i refuse to stop moving, moving forward, moving backward, moving anywhere at all. refuse.

carbon

carbon fiber. my ex boyfriend’s obsessed with it. on his bike. but he might not be my ex anymore? either way he’s obsessed with carbon fiber because it’s super light. too expensive for my taste though. maybe he just thinks he’s cooler with it.

side

She dodged through the woods, her lungs burning and her vision tunnelling. A stitch in her side gave her an awkward gait, slowing her down slightly, but she was still faster than them. She knew these woods from years spent wandering as a child. Her persuers were simply hired thugs from out of town. They didn’t know every ravine, hornets nest, and mudhole like she did. But they would.

half

half of me, half of you. Two halves make one. Where is my other half these days?

Half pink, half blue. The sky seemed split as the sun began to set. A line, right through the middle with the sun resting below it. What beauty, what art, that God could make such an marvelous sight every evening.

event

The lights were shining, the music was blaring and yet… in the midst of it all, I was alone. I was surrounded by people, being pushed in every direction and yet I was more alone than I’d ever been. No music could drown out this loneliness. No lights could shine in this darkness. I was alone.

porter

I have no clue what this word means. Well, actually I have a few clues, but none are conclusive, and therefore I do not feel comfortable trying to invent something witty and creative to write here. I came to this website all excited to write my little prompt, but instead I get PORTERED right in the face. Porter. Hmph. Stupid word.

want

She had never wanted anything so much in her life. Her lips tingled for it, her stomach cramped, and her heart pounded. With smoldering eyes she stared into those brown depth and resisted temptation for one second. Two seconds. Three. She gave in. With a moan, she parted her lips and ate the chocolate rabbit.

assaults

He slowly walked into the room. He looked around. She wasn’t there. He was safe, finally. He knew too much about her already. She assaults anyone she sleeps with. It’s not like she could help herself. She was genuinely insane.

secret

It is important to keep secrets. Secrets are human beings’ way of confiding and setting up a collaboration with others. Keeping a secret creates a sense of belonging. It is a shared experience which cannot be replicated. It allows us to connect.

stretcher

I was panicking. Looking around, I didn’t know what was going on. I soon was watching the ceiling pass by above me as they rolled me away. Never did I think that the last view I would see of my family would close behind the ambulance doors.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT A STRETCHER.

stretcher.. stretcher..

What do you really even say about a stretcher? I mean.. its a stretcher.

Alright this sucks. I’m still half asleep. Stretcher…

My time just glitched and started over. Maybe this time I’ll tell a story.

Things you can carry on a stretcher: dead people fat people short people dogs guns cheesecake apples monkey bread turtles poop monkeyssss

decorations

His back ram-rod straight, he looked at the people around him as he received the metal. The adoration. The boredom. The pain. His family watched him carefully, aware of the truth. That being decorated had come at a price. And that price was peaceful nights and a clear conscience.

There was blood on that badge.

crew

There’s nothing like running at high speed from possessed socks. It’s not my fault. How was I supposed to know a spirit had gotten into my underwear drawer? I’m just glad it had grabbed a pair of crew socks instead of a bra. That would be embarrassing. Imagine being chased down the street by a polka dot brassiere. No, thanks. Socks are bad enough.

She leaned back from the hot steam pouring out of the break in the pipe. Her crew stood behind her, waiting for her to finish examining it. “Let’s go, guys. We’ll need to patch this up before The Boss calls us back in.” A murmur of agreement rose behind her. She took a deep breath. “Go!” And the crew of four five-inch-tall mechanics dove into the steam.

turbine

Spinning, whirling, twisting, turning. Stuck in a turbine. How can you know which way is up, down, up, up, side, side, right. No direct route, no sense of direction. Spin me ’round, ’round.

crust

I dont like crust! i think they taste bad and when they are on a hamburger bun they get burnt and crust. When i was little i would make my dad cut the crusts off of my sandwich. i guess i’ve gotten more tolerant of the crusts. Except i feed then to my dog. :P

The pie was almost complete. However, it was now time for Linda’s least favorite part…The crust. Every time she and her sister made pies growing up. Linda’s crust would fall appart, when Carol’s would come together beautifully.

dwell

I didn’t think I’d ever stop obsessing. My attention was constantly called to one thing over and over, an inescapable trap. Then I found the book. The book helps to distract, to draw you away from every obsession, but I ask myself this, does it help me to stop, or do I now only dwell on the book?

minute

you have a minute to write. 60 seconds. how do you do that? how does your mind race so quickly and you can just figure it all out…. let it flow like that? the human mind is spectacular. that’s how fast it works. that’s how connected your eyes are to your brain. you have one minute. now go. fast. type. write. live in one minute. don’t second guess it.

keen

He had a keen sense of smell. He didn’t care, really, who knew that he did, although it got a little awkward for him when he sat next to Richard Stevenson in Biology, because he ran to school and hadn’t invested in

When I was younger, my mother had the weirdest vocabulary. She talked like one of those housewives on television. With every “keen” and “golly” and “mustn’t”.

pour

The rain poured down the window panes, reflecting the sadness of her tears. Her best friend, however, was happy as happy as she had ever been

switching

I was switching phone services, from Verizon to Sprint, and the fucking management blew me off. They were being such idiots at Sprint, I never even switched over, and stuck with Verizon. A month later, they got the iPhone, the main reason I was switching to Sprint.
