  1. He smiled and tossed in the next piece of his old friend. One body part after the other. Arm. Leg. Ear. Each tooth individually. Each piece went into the pit. Nothing would be left of him in the swamp by the time people could find it.

  2. Decomposition can mean many things, but seeing I only have sixty seconds, I will write one. Decomposition is a word to describe the undead, walking the streets and looking for living flesh, for their own has already rotted.

  3. His thoughts had become a compost heap. He kept piling the remains of the unwanted rotting and spoiled in hopes that would produce some sort of fertile ground for the moments to come. He was hoping for hopes sake.

  5. The body would decompose in a matter of minutes before anyone would be able to find it. That’s what he had said–that’s what she had believed. Of course, Jameson didn’t believe in either of them, but he had very little choice in the matter. The Stone was for them and not him and the magic within it was much different from the magic that he was used to. It seemed implausible and yet–well, at that point he scarcely believed that anything could ever surprise him again.

  10. It sat decomposing under a tree. What was it’s previous life? Another tree? An animal of some sort. *shakes head* It doesn’t matter. It has found new life now as the mycelium push through it, soaking up the nutrients and a little delicious mushroom pops up.

  11. Without you, I would be in a very different place. Years of bruises and beatings had pushed my panicking heart into a box of insecurity and fear. Fed by a poison of feeling unloved and worthless, it slowly began to decompose. It was probably that cancerous cocktail that drove me to crave submission in the first place. If someone’s taking the time to micromanage your behavior, they must care at least a little bit.
    Lies seeping into every crevice, my love would have started to rot. Turned inward, getting sicker, until the drugs or the promiscuity caught up with me.
    Except you came. You coaxed me out of my death-box, and time and time again you proved you wouldn’t fail. You loved me. You draped your own cloak over me and called me ‘daughter’. I follow you not out of fear, but out of trust, and the pure, clean love of a redeemed heart.

  12. when something has reached its end it will dwindle away and go into a dying state. everything decomposes. humans, animals, food, paper, it all goes through the same process it tends to make me think if we are all made of the same thing to eventually decompose together

  17. As I stood there with fright in my eyes, my face pale, eyes glazed, and my stomach being tied in knots, I was shocked. It was in a dark alley, on both sides of Apple and Pennsylvania street. Unknowing of who this man was, I stood, frightened, watching the body of what it looked to be a 40 something of man’s body lay still, left there to rot and decompose, blank.

  18. The forest was dead, long live the mushrooms.

    The city, the trains, the park, all one dessicated corpse, a feast for fungi.

  23. I watched Bones eagerly, and I loved the decomposed bodies and the skeletons and skulls and everything. Emily Deschanel who portrays Dr. Temperance Brennan reminds me of one of my best friends. The friend that no matter what happens, I will always love her like a shining star.

  24. To decompose
    Is thought to mean break apart
    Or degrade something
    Until it is unrecognizable

    But in it’s simplest form
    It means to undo
    To wash away what was once there
    So that something new may grow

    And on that thought
    I think it’s time
    For myself to
    Decompose

  25. When things like fruits and vegetables rot.

  28. The same word. over and over again. Decompose. what did it mean. was this a test. where they trying to pluck out the murderers from the normal internet surfers. perhaps this was another government plot. forget listening to our phone conversations, talk is talk, get in to their minds and you have everything you could ever need.

  31. The world around Alyssa was collapsing around her as she ran through the city with nothing on but her pajamas she had worn many nights before it all started. She was scared as she was being chased by decomposing bodies; bodies that were alive, but dead. She was scared to death, just not as dead as they were. Turning the block, she ran into another herd of them. She screamed and ran a different direction. She was almost gone. Alyssa was winning the race for her life.
    But then, there were more of them after she turned the corner again. She was surrounded. There was absolutely no way she was getting out of this. Alive.

  32. I sat staring at the ground wondering what and when. Then I sat staring into space. And then I sat staring, but this time I was wondering. How was it that something living can decompose so clearly from standint to sitting From happiness to the void of never ending decomposintion.

  33. It’s always scared me. We’re all going to decompose one day. The whole earth is going to decompose. This causes people to want to be “remebered” and to try to “leave their mark on the world”. I think you should just live life. Don’t try to hard to live past your death because you can’t stop yourself from decomposing. No matter what your legacy will decompose too.

  34. Ashes to ashes/dust to dust.

  35. One thing she thought strange about the photos was that the very oldest ones looked newest, as if they had been reprinted. She knew that photos could fade and decompose when exposed to sunlight, but this was different, the transition from old to new was too sudden, too clear. Some of the oldest photos, she concluded, had been added afterwards.

  37. As I fell into the pit I knew I wouldn’t miss it. I wouldn’t miss the sun and it’s light. I wouldn’t miss the time and its plight. I wouldn’t even miss you and the love which let me get this far. I was complete in peace and I needed nothing more than to drift into darkness. Let me fall…

  38. She walked futher and futher into the woods. Fungi everywhere she saw through their innocence and beauty and saw the truth the defiling little bastards, killing everything, decomposing their host. Most painted them in a different light, helping the eco system, being a fertilzer, she stopped herself she knew what she- no they were she new they were nothing more then a paracite.

  39. The smell was in the room, faint, yet there. The bodies had been moved after rigor mortis finished setting, leaving it with the smell of death and vanilla.

  40. Breaking down. Dead. I’m think about dead animals and vultures feeding on them. This is a depressing word. Why didn’t I get a nicer or happier word? I am unhappy with this! I’ll make it positive. Decompose the negative.
