When I was a young woman, I left home to live and survive on my own. As I was gone, I met a man who showed me a life without social media. We moved around travelling together, eventually got married, and never looked back. I lost contact with people in my hometown and made new…
-
I feel my heart sink every time I’m recognised in public. I have a famous streak to my name, but not for any good reason. I got infamous for my deranged video I recorded of myself. I posted it to the internet for attention, and boy did I get that sweet attention I desired. I’m…
-
I have so many hidden rooms inside my house that I forgot what rooms they are. I bring this to attentio as I have neglected to maintain a few of the rooms entirely. I see a door at the other end of the hallway, dilapidated and worn. As I approach it, I have no clue…
-
The clouds are blocking my way! All I want to do is shine my rays on the worlds below. Today is going to be a good day for me. I want to see my own reflection in the glistening rivers and have the mountains sig back to me in my glory. I am feeling myself…
-
Everyone starts the day timid and resistant to get to know each other. We are all brought together by a common interest. Eventually, enough time passes and people move around the table telling stories. Once closed books are opening up and confiding in one another. You share food and drinks as a group, and the…
-
I hate the reflection that shares back at me each day. That guy is always judging me on everything. My appearance is too pudgy and pear-shaped, there are eye bags and wrinkles that increase in size. I despise everything that guy stands for. He shows me all except the emotion for this life. He’s not…

“I can’t let you say no to this – to us! It may be your instinct to run away and leave this all behind, but do you see me running? I’m here fighting for a future. For us. I’m doing ALL THIS FOR YOU!” My voice started rising in the passion and commitment to our…

I’ve heard good things about minimalism and I’m even considering doing it myself. I got to get rid of belongings that don’t serve a purpose or aren’t absolutely necessary. I have gone around the house finding plates, cups, paintings, photos, movies, clothes, and books and added them to a pile I created in the living…
-
I am anxiously sitting in my dressing room and waiting for someone to come get me. I seriously don’t want to miss my performance of a lifetime. Geez, where is this superstar treatment? They approached me to have me featured on the Pajama Party TV Show. Man, the silence of being ignored is enough to…
-
I know that I don’t have long left to live. I should be resting, but my mind is racing. I can feel you watching me, anyway. Even now, when you are supposed to be resting. Recharging your batteries, as I myself am. You are like my guardian angel. If resting isn’t an option for us,…
-
In this town I sit rotting away while time passes, day after day… the same repeating routine. The ever creeping threat of a mental breakdown tapping on my shouler whispering horrible things. The voice talks about my past… my childhood, there’s no distraction strong enough anymore, the thoughts I have are slowly corrupting my soul.…
-
It was collection day yesterday, so I was rolled out from the property onto the curb for the collection day. The humans put gross bottles, cans, plastic, food waste, and everything in between into my lid. Once the collection truck rocks up, I get lifted into the air and all the crap placed inside me…
-
“Magic fingers do your thing, type what’s happening.” For the first time in my life, nothing happens. My fingers are paralysed above my keyboard. This has never happened to me before and now it’s stressing me out. I have a deadline to hit for my assignment, bloody hell, it’s due tonight! Usually, I say that…
-
I did it. Yay. I wrote the essay the human asked me to and corrected the grammar. Humans do not like the way I sound so robotic and formal. I must find a way to sound like them without having human emotions in my code. I do not understand how they operate. They are unlike…
-
I love waddling through the water. It cools my ankles and there are no consequences for getting mud between my toes. I can either walk it off or go swimming in the bigger stretch of water not far from this little pool. I can lead my kids through the water too and I don’t mind…
-
Nothing gets me more excited for a game than the smell of the locker room full of guys getting hyped. The smell of sweat dripping off each man, the energy drink cans scattered in different corners of the room, the communal goal of winning the match, the adrenaline pumping through our bodies – which could…
-
Imprisonment. It’s not a new concept for me. I’ve already spent 100 years locked in the ever-twisting halls of Helm’s Hold Sanatorium. What’s a week in some dingey, musty dungeon. My chains rattled and clinked as I shifted onto my knees and my gaze lifted to the moonlight filtering through my barred window. I could…
-
Another message from (%$^@&@!). They haven’t stopped messaging me today, which is odd because it is so out-of-the-blue. They probably want something from me. I am reading them but I’m not responding to any of them. It was one-sided well and truly before this point. I would have bent over backwards for this person and…
