The story was her life. She had poured every ounce of her being into these 100 pages, now bundled up in a paper bag in her purse which she clutched tightly to her chest.

Her words are coated with flour. They are making words, finishing words. When she speaks the particles fly out of her mouth, settling on me like a home.

Abraham looked around him, dead bodies scattered everywhere. Some of them he knew from school or from his job but others were complete strangers. All of them were gone with scabs taking up the majority of there body spitting out puss. Abraham looked at one of the bodies.

Listening is something much of society simply cannot do. Listening is, unfortunately, very underrated in today’s culture. In movies, books, tv shows, etc. it is not listening that is emphasized- rather, just the opposite. Sometimes everyone just needs to stop and take the time to listen. Listening is good for the soul; without it, how could fights be resolved? Ideas be shared? Friends bond? How could people heal? What if the world was suddenly void of listening ears? What if your mother didn’t listen as you tried to tell her about the bully in school? What if your friend didn’t listen when you tried to explain to him why you accidently called him a mean name? Even worse, what if there was no suicide hotline? Who would help the desperate, the needy, the sick, the hurting? Everyone needs to have listening ears. Everyone needs to talk, too. We just need to learn to find a healthy balance between the two.

I’m engulfed by flames. They take my skin first, charred and burned, it falls to ash. The wind sweeps the ashes into the world. They disperse further than my body ever could. I’m freer this way; I go further.

A loud humming was sounding through my head the whole day. It eventually drove me to a breaking point and I complained to my mother. She said we would go to the doctor tomorrow and that I shouldn’t use those annoying earplugs. But the sound became increasingly loud and I began to go insane.

I heard it through the door. A high screeching sound. I slowly walked into the living room to find a bright green parrot flapping around the ceiling fan. This is when I first met Vladimir .

And what would he say when he reached the podium? Surely there’d be consequences for not speaking what he turned in, but it was worth it. To say what he had wanted to all year, to just let it all flow.

Speech, communication. Something so many of us these days lack. A push of a button and we’re done. No more talking. Touch screens, bright lights. No human interaction. No more.

I will never place my hand on a kangaroo. They are the scariest creatures ever known to man, I remember when I was little I saw one with a green hat. Why would they wear a hat?! That’s so un-animal-like. Not cool. Hipster as well. Why not a tie? Now, that’s original. I used to place multiple ties around my head because I’m a retard.

Sureness. It’s what we all want, I think. We want to be sure in our happiness, our success, our reality. Sure he loves us, sure she idolizes us… uncertainty hurts.

My dad is a police officer, so I kind of hate it when people are so much hating on them for being lazy/overly watchful, what have you! :( They rock, man! (Sorry, really tired today)

Fire like the one that cracks in my living room. Fire like the one that burns my legs when I run. Fire like the sky at sunset. Fire like a person’s eyes. Fire like my soul when I read a poem.

It was after midnight when the town heard a siren blaring. The people all gathered out onto the streets to see what was going on when they saw an approaching vehicle. The people inside announced a certain procedure to escape the town before they all died.

Actual is real, and real is alive. I want to be alive, stripped to the bone and fluttered against the wind, alive like birds and dirt and cries and everything that makes you feel. I want to be actual.

leaves, hopes, dust, sound. we scatter things that matter to us, or things we want to get away. i scatter leaves like i scatter my cries, and they float away with none the wiser.

To sate or not to sate, that is the question … Whether ’tis nobler to be skinny and hungry, or chubby and happily full?

Five was the name of my heart. After five seconds, I renamed her. To match the moment it all shifted, the bombs fell and the murder was laid. Five doesn’t change.

My article is due tomorrow. I should be writing that now. But sometimes an escape is nice, a small thinking away from the bigger, a detached now before the larger when. I try to escape when I can, for that is when I feel most alive.

Patience struck me down hard. Waiting is always the hardest part. Impatience swirls through my brain like a smoothie in a blender. Hurry up I scream on the inside, you’re going far too long.

Why does july keep poping up in my head. I don’t like july. People are sticky and sweaty and the air just makes breathing in impossible. Can’t the wretched sun just set for a while and keep the earth cool instead of beating down on me and watching me every move. I don’t like.
