Listless

Luscious are the L's and the S's that roll my tongue around, I lie sedate and lethargic, curled under a doona on the ground, So snugly sleepy and sleepily snug between the hard and the soft, The heater at my back painfully hot but blowing its warmth aloft, Leaving my face, turned away, frigidly cold, Exposed where, out of my cocoon, my hands tightly hold, Squirrelly clutched, the doona under my chin, So conflicted that I find balance, satisfied, with a sedate grin.

The BAD Thing by thoughtfullypausing, literature

The BAD Thing

Once upon a time there was a boy. Unlike most children that were once upon a time, this boy did not have any special talents, royal blood or exciting secrets that would one day be revealed after a childhood of rejection by family or peers. No, this boy was the necessary opposite to these children of adventure and brave deeds. He seemed normal and he felt normal, but there was something BAD inside of him. He wasn't sure what it was, he'd never felt it, only been told by his parents, by his peers, by the wizened elder by the rundown cottage that it was there. As he grew, he became accustomed to the whispers, the dark looks, the frightened villa

The removable heart

One day, his wife died. It was a normal death, like any other. There were no adorable children to be left motherless, no prolonged and tragic battle with cancer. There was just him, left alone to get on with his life. He wasn’t old and he wasn’t young. He had a job and after a brief leave to take care of funeral arrangements he just kept on with it, just like before. Everything was just like before, except for his heart. His heart sat heavily in his chest as if someone had taken it out and dipped it in a thick layer of cement before placing it back in. He couldn’t shake this feeling no matter how hard he tried. He had no melanc

The Fountain of Youth

Oscar graduated top of the class with honours and just about every other prestigious title that could be bestowed upon a young scientist. Needless to say he was snapped up within days by a world renowned laboratory operating in the neutral and isolated Swiss Alps. This lab had the shortest odds to cure cancer and solve just about every other problem that had, did, or would affect the world. Most people would have been delighted by the honour but Oscar, being a young, intellectual and arrogant man, viewed it as his rightful place. He refused to waste time on the lab grunt tasks, deeming them below his intelligence and dignity. This attitude ma

Forget Me

It was a harmless email, simply a mistaken letter, g and h are right next to each other on the keyboard after all. Hey Nick, Random thought, I'm thinking we should go laser tag Friday. I'll even wager a beer on it. Lucy Lucy knew Nick Hutton from a waitressing job, they never were more than friends and never would be, though they'd swapped emails with the promise to stay in touch. Carelessly, Lucy had sent her invitation to nick_g_1 instead of the intended nick_h_1. Nick Green had been sitting at home and feeling sorry for himself when the little message alert popped up on his screen. Normally, like politely rebuffing a wrong number, he w

Is it you that lets the stars out each night, Coiling their strings at dawn? Letting them float away but not too far, To twinkle, sparkle and fawn. Are they drunk with the gazes of lovers? And the bright lights from the town? Do they come back easily and eager, Or must you pull them down? Are they always lovely, Or are they sometimes a chore? Do they tangle their strings, And float too far from shore? Does the moon console you, and help keep them in line? Or are you lonely out there, Wishing you, too, could shine?

The Tea Party by thoughtfullypausing, literature

Literature

The Tea Party

My hand shakes. I rest it firmly against the table and keep smiling. Even my smile feels like it is drooping, being pulled down no matter how hard I try to fight it. "Ageing is a natural process. Everyone begins to experience wear and tear, it is simply a fact of life. We try to make the process as painless as possible, but there will always be unpleasant times." I nod, smiling. Gloria rests her head back against my neck and I gently place my chin on her thin silky hair. She gathers handfuls of my skirt on both sides and guffaws. The centre’s representative is charmed by her and smiles. "Of course, the hardest part is usually relatives

Cowboys and Indians

She had cried out several times already and this time I almost stayed in bed. Every time it was me who got up. But I blearily opened my eyes and saw the pale, drawn face of my wife. The deep blue shadows under her eyes. I sighed and went to Ash, stroked her hair and held her soft, chubby hand until she fell into her sweet, snuffling sleep. The stale air drifted in through the window and I knew sleep would be impossible. Against the blue black of midnight my bulls eyes stood out, their blue, red and white rings almost fluorescent. I crept into my room and felt around in the cupboard for my bow and arrows. My wife stirred and I froze, almost dr

Well, nowadays I do creative writing for English which means that something I did for fun, is now compulsary, completely ruining it. Oh well, I need to make a portfolio and dredge my collection in hopes of finding something semi-decent. Oh dear, the chances ain't great that's for sure. Let me know if there's anything of mine you think I should submit to be covered in red pen and a big fat fail.

Devoted To Alex

0 min read

Hello everyone, My name is Alex and I have decided to take over Morgyn's journal because she HASN'T CHANGED IT IN A LONG LONG TIME. Yes well.. I don't really have much to say but her old journal was annoying me ever so greatly. Well.. not that much but its for dramatic purposes. Oh lord, she's playing trumpet behind me now. AHH. ha it's not actually that bad but anyway. I'll just keep typing sweet nothings. Maybe morgyn wil;l becomefamous for this pointless journal. I'm bored. Come visit me on my page and say helloooooooooooo  :D ~RandyZoo (https://www.deviantart.com/randyzoo):iconrandyzoo::iconrandyzoo::iconrandyzoo::iconrandyzoo::iconrandyzoo::iconrandyzoo::iconrandyz
