  1. Short stories again

    I lost again this month, which is bad. But, I didn't finish dead last, which is good. I'm going to try something new. I'm going to write a story and THEN look at the prompt. That seems to be working for the rest of everybody. It rather P***** me off that these non-prompt dependent stories are even getting into the contest. But, that's just me.
  2. to the window, to the wall

    at what point do you let go of hopes and dreams?? I have recently felt like I need to let go and let be, or god, idk yet. lol

    so super shocker, im drunk again, I don't care.

    any how, I am slowly learning at my late age of 28 to let go of things such as shirts, hoodies and ideas. I know some may really understand where it is im coming from and the rest of you may have no idea what im whisk eying about lol.
  3. Long Distance Relationships

    This has been prompted by something CT said to me the other day, that I can't seem to get out of my head. "Well I get tired of everyone thinking we are just friends."

    As many of you will know, myself and @Cave Troll are in a long distance relationship (LDR). We have been together for just over a year. We are currently separated by over 4000 miles, including the North Atlantic Ocean.
    We met online here on 24th April 2018. I posted a thread asking for help with a sci-fi...
  4. Omitted "I"

    Really don't know what to say. See what did there? Escaped the "I" in the beginning. Anarchy in grammar to escape the unavoidable "who". Hm, interesting. It's not "in" it's "un" avoidable in regards to the grammar check that highlights my mistakes aaaand... I'm bored. How so? Just so. Happens from time to time and I don't mind it. Not at all. Might "I" go as far as to say "I" enjoy it. It's boring but it's fun. Inavoidable. Anarchy. Anarki. I'm fine with that. What'd you say? Something about...
  5. Jenson

    Suicidal ideation,
    what a grim fascination.
    Never ideation manifestation.
    What a cowardly preoccupation.


    Jagged stones took the brunt of the seas turbulence. Waves crashed, foamed, and receded from wet, mossy stone. Jenson peered down, marking a place below. Champion of horseshoe at home. He leaped from the dramatic scene, swallowed by the angry sea, ragdolled against stone of slimy green, receding into a foamy dream; never again to be seen.

    Dear, Diary


    I've tried to make changes to my life in the hope of reclaiming some optimism, or hope, or sustained happiness. It's all been for nothing. Dread is the constant, happiness the rarity. I find myself returning to my suicidal ideation to get through the day; days that self discipline seem to prolong to unbearable lengths.

    Everything I want is wrong. I've long accepted that I'm far from the ideal human being. I don't belong here, not in this time, not in this place. If left to...
  7. I sat down, it's done

    I feel like any time I try and sit down and do something constructive, that I'll become aware of something extremely annoying, OR something extremely annoying will bother me right when I decide to sit down. Like right now, right on queue my dog decides to whimper behind me. She's walked, and fed, and hasn't made a peep until now. Until right fucking now.

    If it's not her, it's a family member from hell who decides they want to talk my ear off, or bitch about one another. If my days going...
  8. An Ode to My Amazing Man

    I was on another forum, and I wrote this reply. I found it very profound, so I thought I would share it here.

    Ok. First things first. Take a deep breath. Then another.
    So you happened to fall in love with someone you haven't met. She smokes. She wants kids. So what?
    You've known each other three months. That isn't a long time. You have no idea what is down the road for her or for you. Life happens when you're busy making other plans. I'm not saying you should give up. That is entirely...
  9. Too Bad They’re Going To Hell.

    So, as I said in my last post, I went to church and it was amazing!

    But something my cousin said is bothering me. On the way from church I got a phone call from my cousin’s sister and my sister, it was brief and nothing important.

    We sat in silence for a few seconds and I laughed and said, “I love those two idiots.”

    My cousin responded, “ I love them too. It makes me sad knowing that they won’t be able to go to heaven with me .”

    (INSERT SCREECHING RECORD STOP)

    So, at this...
  10. Aladdin Old and New

    I saw the new Aladdin movie over the weekend. Overall it was a great movie. Will Smith as the genie was a highlight: they really played up the “you can wish for whatever you want” aspect of the Aladdin story. The visuals, singing, and dancing was all very well done. But comparing the new movie with the old, there are a few issues that stand out. I was entertained, but my suspension of disbelief didn’t quite survive for much of the movie.

    (Spoilers ahead)

    The live action version starts as a...
  11. What To Feel When You Feel Nothing?

    I went to church, I was late and the traffic was something horrible. The rain came down in sheets and my windows fogged over, I was scared.

    I felt fear.

    Lately, I haven’t felt much of anything and when I do I feel too much. I spent most of my younger years like this, overly high on emotions and then nothing.

    How about y’all? You ever just feel ... Hollow?
  12. Creatures in Cages

    Our neighbors across the street have a couple house dogs and a rescue rabbit. Due to the nature of dogs and rabbits, they keep the rabbit in cage on their back porch. They told me the rabbit was a rescue from a breeder who would otherwise have destroyed it for being less than perfect. So she instead lives alone in that cage.

    I know this because from time to time they leave town and ask me to care for "the bunny." I always say yes if possible, because we have them care for our lovebird...
  13. I Shouldn't Be Up

    I should've gone to bed.

    Disaronno and Canada Dry's Cranberry Ginger Ale (of all things; it was what I had at hand) sounded like a good idea. After a few alcoholic waters. Let me tell you, nothing like hard seltzer water. You thought things were dangerous before. It's medicinal.

    Started reading K.M. Weiland's "Character Arcs" earlier. Like, 5 hours ago earlier, I read a couple chapters before my little binge.

    Oh man, I'm right at the point where I know if I lay down, I'll feel Earth...
  14. The next couple of Chapters down the Rabbit Hole. :P

    (Back by demand for more of this absurdity). :supergrin:Enjoy

    Chapter 10-8



    We were back in the parking lot on a lower level, walking past a wide selection of exotic and domestic sports cars.

    “What do you think of the Audi TT 2019,” He looks at me, his hand on my waist.

    “Bit too on the nose, don’t you think?”

    “Yes, it is rather cliche after that horrid book series, isn’t it?”

    We walk deeper into the rows of cars. I stop next to a sleek silver Aston Martin. I run my fingers...
  15. Do you want to write your story? Or someone elses?

    I've made my share of mistakes, and they probably are legion. But you know what I've never done? I never told someone elses story. I'm telling mine.

    What are you doing? Are you also writing your own story? I don't mean a memoir necessarily, but the story you bit into with joy, consternation and despair?
    Lightbulbs going off all over your brain when some scene that's been giving you headaches suddenly made sense?
    Hours and hours of arranging tiles on a storyboard to get just the...
