Cake For Elenor – writing prompt
One bright day it was a birthday for an ungrateful girl named Elenor. She screamed out loud, slammed her door and decided her gifts were all a bore. “Not enough presents – I need more!” Shrieked that annoying girl named Elenor. Her spoiled nature was her greatest flaw. She certainly forgot the birthday law; no…

She wore a yellow coat
It wasn’t just her coat that irritated me, it was also her luxurious heels. I sneered at her dark denim jeans, those stiletto shoes were unreal. Her hair was extremely frustrating somehow still neat in the breeze. Her seamless makeup was maddening, she looked like an unblemished Queen. I trail in the shadows behind her,…

Thinking About Nightmares
Last night she was lost. We were by the coast, the air was stringy with salt and sand, and I was somehow hollow and overflowing both at once. Her father was there, in the dream. Her being lost was vaguely his fault, but he was trying to help I think, in his soul-sucking, selfish own…

Living Like A Two Year Old
What if we all choose to live like a two-year-old? He runs full force at huge puddle. He doesn’t worry about what will come after. He isn’t concerned about wet socks and cold feet. He is anticipating joy, laughter, and experience. The thrill of the splash. The squeal of his laughter. The future is coming…

Him
In response to The Daily Three Things challenge. Silence, Quieten, Sedate. Reality collapses in. Thoughts that are not my own start tumbling across the surface of my mind like debris lashing around in a tornado. I reach for him. He is the silence amongst the storm, he is the calm when the noise becomes unbearable.…

Chaos Continues
In the chaos that cycled around her, just for a moment she surrendered. Shoulders slumped, eyelids heavy, reality suspended. The world trickled off her like a rain shower in the spring. Instinct dragged her towards him, all her resistance dissolved. His hand, a slow pressure on her lower back. The warmth of him. Rough fingertips…

Dangerous
A nightmare clings in the furious silence. Shadows reach as her imagination bends. There is a racing stillness in the twilight hours. Wickedness creeps with a lonely caress. Anything is possible.
