    I often climbed brick walls when I was younger, my friend stayed on the other side of the wall. Scaling up the wall was a simple pleasure of childhood that I miss during moments of reflection. It took but a few minutes to meet her. To meet a friend now takes days of texts and planning.

    Brick wall.
    Waterfall.

  21. Bricks are never appreciated enough in their time; they’ve done so much for us, humans, for society. They’re there and hold up our homes, places that are dear to us. They’re the bottom of life, yet they are necessary for everything. If it wasn’t for them, it wouldn’t’ve been possible for normal life to progress.

  27. The brick wall was damp against my back. I shivered, shaking rain from my bangs like a wet dog. I got a frustrated glance in response. The air was thick with moisture as I sucked in a breath, waiting for the signal. It was all down hill from there.

  31. The building was made of solid brick, yet his fist seemed to go through it like butter. What kind of monster was this? The mutant turned and looked at me, eyes calculating and cold. His name would be brick from now on, from how easily he started to tear the foundation from the building that was supposed to withstand even time.

  32. A brick. They’re heavy to carry around. I carried one around for a while, when I felt completely worthless and invaluable. But God took my brick from me and told me I am beautiful. It’s one of the million of reasons why I am in love with Him.

  34. And then it hit me like a brick. I /did/ love him. I’d spent all summer trying not to, telling myself I didn’t, but the evidence was incontrovertible and I loved him. I stood, staring past my parents and feeling my heart rise gleefully behind my ribs.

  35. It’s red and hard and it’s used to build things. Sometimes I feel like my brother’s head is one. I can see it baking in the warm, Mexican sun and being laid by sweaty migrant workers. The men toil and labor and in about a week they see the fruits of their hands. A wall or a house made of baked mud. It’s a monument to hard work and determination.

  37. A wall of bricks, solid and whole, but what’s this? One brick lies separate, alone.

    Where does it go?
    How can it fit in to what is already complete?

    Perhaps it longs to be free. I shall chuck it in the sea.

  39. All they needed was one brick to complete the architectural masterpiece they have been working on for days. But where was that brick? They couldn’t find it. They searched everywhere but couldn’t seem to find it. It lied within their souls. Faith.

  40. bricks. they’re strong, unmoving. so much unlike me. if i was anything, i’d be a feather: light and easy to bend to your will. i don’t do what i want, i do what others want me to do. if i could only be a little stronger, a little more in touch with what i wanted…!
