Literature

Impatient

If you talk to anyone who waits at red lights or cares about fashion or owns a gun, they'll know a thing or two about all of us; all of humanity. We are all flowers, we are all little universes, we are all the underdog future. And maybe this is completely true, and maybe some girl pierced her ear in the 8th grade bathroom, and maybe you have sand in your shoes from that visit to the beach last week. What does it matter, is this an absolute? We are all pieces of God, we are all forgetting about Heaven, we are all waiting politely for death to break in through the bathroom window. You can ask the stains on the sidewalk, the birds who refus

Literature

Only Natural

Some would call this evil, but I find it entirely human to discover yourself alone with a stranger in the supermarket isle and ponder how easy it would be to grab that glass jar of peanut butter with the blue twist-off lid two shelves above you and mash their brains into jelly; only a psychopath would consider scraping up the resulting slurry with a saltine cracker as a souvenir. An interesting case for the criminal justice department and the more visceral section of the sociology department. Is it human to have such a fascination for the live feed snuff films that you seek them out, that you search for their producers so you can intervi

Literature

Courage

A young woman wakes up in the morning with the light from her blinds making stripes on her skin. She throws the heavy covers off herself and leaves them on the floor, before scrambling to fix her mistake. She closes her eyes.

Wanting and Having

It's been a while since he's let himself want something. Even longer since he's admitted to it. She wishes to be one of the vast majority who give up on him after the first icy glare. But she's never been a part of any majority so why should she start now? He just needs some sort of reaction—anything. So he is unnecessarily cruel to her, just like how he is with everyone. People are all the same. He always gets to them in the end. Part of him, the secret part, hopes that she doesn't let him get away with it. She sees him at the coffee shop slipping a note onto the counter while the elderly man fumbles uselessly for change in his pock

Literature

We Kissed...

It tasted of rainwater and warmth and something real—something alive. It was a mistake and I can't fix it but I don't think I even want to. It lingered on my lips like a stain and dyed my insides nervous. It hurt me like nothing else and I can't breathe any more because I'm scared—so scared. It was too rushed and teeth clattered and glasses brushed and why—why am I so awkward? It felt like something rumbling under my feet and I didn't know what; but then I realised it was just me being me. It needed to last forever because not enough things do that and maybe I want something like that (even if I deny it). It was bitte

Literature

Of Words and Nudity

A poem is a story without it's clothes on. It's an island in a sea of white, An artist's heart in ink. It's proof of thought, Of emotion, Of sensation. It's a place to go, A shield to hide behind, A confession to make. A poem is one's true nature, One's soul - naked.

Idle Hands Without Any Plans

Idle Hands Without Any Plans What a way to waste a day, Watching your own flesh decay, How divine, as you may find, Getting lost in your own mind, If I may share, you're quite the pair, That is, you and your despair, This routine, even unseen, Is constant and unfailing, (but) Not to fear, just rest my dear, Tomorrow is another year.

to the boy who doesn't plan on leaving

how much of me can you swallow, love before you finally purge? I am a cartographer of bad experiences; I can locate precisely where I see our divergence extraordinaire and I can tell you before I have even met you that the skin on my hands is too dry for the softness you plan on caressing me with. let me tell you how this ends; I will show you all the people I have destroyed - flooded to the best of my ignorance, driven wild with jealousy, had whipped with lust and left smoking pot after four promises stating otherwise. let me tell you how this ends; after showing you the blessed catastrophe it is to be human, you will destroy me. you may

free bird

it’s a need to feel the suns golden fingers teasing figure eights along my back, & the wind on my cheeks. i must have been a bird in some past life, a swallow or a hummingbird. because, i swear on some nights i can feel the growing pains of an atlas ready to burst through my skin like wings. i just want to be free.

Literature

Boiling Seas

I hope your sails burn When next you set sail And the wind fans the flames So overboard you'll go I hope the sea swallows you And drags you down slowly So you can feel every second Away from the surface I hope when you hit bottom You'll survive long enough To remember what you said When you were intoxicated I hope that once you've drunk Your fill of salt water You die full of regrets For the emptiness in your head I hope the fish feast On your tongue and teeth And the sharks leave you To be broken by the reef I hope you shatter Into a million pieces And your soul bubbles Into oblivion I hope you sail straight to Hell

I was bound and gagged by fifty shades of stupid.

Literature

My little visitor

In a dream you come to me and I hold you like a baby. You purring loudly in my ear, I sense that you forgave me. I caress your head in my hand and press a kiss upon your cheek. I miss you my little one, is all that I can speak. Thank you for this flying visit, it seems you have no time. Your spirit brings me so much comfort, I know that you´ll be fine. So off you go and leave me, one time more, up over the bridge into the clouds, through the cat-flap in God`s door. 12.06.2016

nailed to the counter

fivey eyed the barn door, her right forearm tingled with a quite familiar burn, it informed her tone: "you nannys ain't dealin' proper. i had hoped this would stay above-board, but if you wanna wake snakes, let's frolic!" her right arm shot out, glowing energy pulled three armed men through splintering wood; the barn creaked and the men screamed as their bodies were dragged across the dirt before being launched out the far wall. fivey stomped her left foot; the two shotguns trained on her slithered, hissed, and— with both barrels— bit the two closest men in their necks. her right foot slid behind her in a perfect half-circle,

Where Nothing Dares Settle

we assume the fish that appears to advance without moving does so, effortlessly; as if the sea itself merely wills them forward we long to swim like this to hold our position in the universe while the earth churns its oceans past, as if its motion were ours and perhaps it might be if we could only comprehend how much lag truly resides in the linkage between space and time, then we'd know water like it knows us our ins and outs and the low places where nothing dares settle for long we'd know why sleep evades when we're most spent, as memories older than our own activate, once we traverse a certain set proximity

Literature

Sound Carries Near a Salt Flat

the noise of a dying man is that of a humpack whale reverberating across the desert thermocline, tunneling between the dune and the horizon. he whines, low, not loud, but it surrounds us; ocean pressure straining at the sides of a submerging ship. the harpoon head of the frag bomb burns in his leg - flesh irreparably breached - as that groaning calls navigation signs to some unknown counterpart far across the sand. I can swear to you he will be gone in forty-eight hours from the sepsis if medical can't make it to this fucking shelled-out excuse for a town by tomorrow evening. I give a sedative still, his cries carry like those son

I agree with the previous comments that the formatting is innovative and well put together. As with others, I don't have an extensive knowledge of Warhammer 40k, but the handful of tabletop runs I've done, along with reading some of the related manuals, have given me a rudimentary idea. At least, enough to comprehend the consistencies your work shares with it. You successfully captured, I believe, a haunted feeling that I have gotten from 40k before on occasion, as well as the sense of deep devotion and heart. I know that can sound like a contrast to the zealotry and ruthlessness that is frequently perceived. To me, though, there is still something valuable, even admirable, in this. The joy of a true servant of something/someone starts, and ends, in the heart, and illuminates. This piece was haunting and felt like it was about closure. Not an end. Just closure. Nicely done
