  1. On the mantle sat a bunch of flowers. They were flowers from her mother who had died a year ago today. This mantle was sacred ground due to the connection.

  2. Every little house
    all the little people
    sitting there
    frozen in their tracks
    no where to hide
    no where to run
    They’re stuck
    high upon their pedestal
    They’ve done wrong
    they try to hide
    running around every corner
    every turn
    there’s no where to hide
    no where to run.

  3. Upon the ledge we groped the bricks as curtains blew violently in the wind. We slowly made our way across to the other window where we slipped inside, safe again, for now (for then). We were statues, we were gargoyles on the building. We were figurines, we were trophies on the mantle.

  5. Looking at the mantle above me, I noticed the pine boughs hanging over the edge. It is strange to be in this position, lying on my back looking slightly toward the back of my head seeing the mantle above me. I’d not done this before

    My grandmother walked in carrying a picture of grandpa. Tears slid down her face as she placed the picture upon the mantle. It was me and grandpa at the lilac fields, the only memory i had of him, and the sweetest memory i had.

  8. The ground was covered in a mantle of white, and Dresden was freezing his ethereal rear off. Being a Ghost of Christmas Past was no fun at all, really, because the present was so much more interesting than the old dusty photo albums of the past.

  11. I saw this mantle in her house. It had a picture of a man with a gorilla suit. That man looked to be in his 40s and had a red suit. I asked her about it and she said, “Yeah, that is my uncle Tom. He likes gorillas.” She was very straight forward and acted as if it was normal. That was our last date.

  12. Veronica arranged the flowers carefully before setting them on the mantle. She hoped she’d remember about them up there so high–not like the last batch that went neglected until their petals dropped like autumn leaves littering the floor. They’d crunch under her feet whenever she walked by.

  13. his love was just that.
    placed on the highest mantle.
    no cure.
    no words.
    just an empty frame with memories lost.
    i believed him.
    but now the dust covers the truth.
    and the hurt, there it sets.

  15. she shrugged off her mantle in the doorway and collapsed in the marble foyer, outstretched, with the door still open.

  16. my parnents have a mantle on their fireplace. Once I bumped my head on it, and I bled profusely, but amazingly I didn’t need stitches. Mantles are good for placing things on them like candle, statues of Jesus or Santa Claus, etc. There is also the biblical mantle, such as the mantle of the priesthood, things like that.

  18. Elijah threw his mantle onto Elisha or maybe it was the other way around. Anyway, one powerful prophet passed on his mantle to the next who became a powerful prophet. In fact, he had asked for a double portion of his “father.” One who he wanted deserately, apparently, to emulate. I think that was noble.

  22. the mantle was covered in doomy pants and they swung back and fourth with menace. the longer the pants swung the further they seemed to get from Milky Duds. He was scared of the mantle and the doomy pants. They had taken his mother from him in a fury of mixed clothing and moth balls. It was terrible and he cried. The longer he cried the

  24. Mickey’s last name. My parents are/were huge Yankee fans, my father especially so. He grew up during the Mantle years, then went through three decades of Yankee incompetence. The only highlight during those years was Mattingly. Sadly, he passed away before he could see the Yankees come back to prominence.

  31. The red mantle seemed to have it’s own place in the hallway. Decorated with pictures of the owner’s loved ones, it almost radiated it’s own light with the sense of pride that the owner took in setting up such an intricate display. In the back was a wedding photo, seemingly unimportant compared to the photos in front.

  35. The mantle is where my picture should be. At least one. But no. The girls are much more important that some angsty teen that lives in the attic. And ugly. Oh the ugly. Why put something ugly on the mantle? That is why the girls are there. Pretty.
