Predictable Storylines
She didn’t know what was about to take place, but I knew. I had known it all along. I have seen this story play thousands of times and they all end the same. This little girl is going to be bullied in school and it leaves her to face the…

Shattered Mirror
The mirror across the room isn’t completely broken although you can see the cracks of it. What reflects back to me is not quite familiar, not quite strange. It still does the job you expect it to, it just isn’t the same as it used to be. The shattered glass…

I Know I Shouldn’t…
Every time I tell myself, ‘I can stick to this’, ‘this time I’m gonna do it’, ‘I have a plan this time’, lots of water, low carbs, low sugar, eat healthy, no energy drinks, no chocolate… I always tell myself. This time I believed it too, unfortunately the bag of…

Emotional Friend group
Attention is like the friend who drags me out of the house to go partying with strangers, to introduce me to their friend Embarrassment. No offense Embarrassment but I would prefer not to be your friend. I’m actually considering creating more distance in my friendship with Attention and maybe making…

Upside down Handwriting
I had a dream once like I was seeing the future. The fear of writing upside down. I had a feeling I would write normally for a while and one day my brain would flip it and become a new habit. Have I ever written upside down before? No, unless…

Honest Phone Call
“Hey, sorry I hung up the phone when you called last week. The truth is I never wanted to answer, to begin with. I frankly have no interest in selling my house with you. I have no interest in selling anything with you, so I apologise for answering in the…

Social Alien
Although I have the same flesh and bones and blood as others of my kind, I stand alone. I got no friend, and if I did none of them would understand me. I barely comprehend what I am myself. I’m alienated from the rest of this world. I’ve tried to…

Chaos in Wake
The world burns all around me in chaos, chaos I caused. I stare off into the distance, lightly laughing. I did all this. I smell the blood of my next enemy, just across the street from me. That oblivious freak standing there. I greet him the way I do with…
