The moon blew my mind tonight. I was driving home from work, glanced up, and my jaw dropped. There it was--this giant, celestial orb--seemingly closer than ever before... I could not believe how big it appeared from my perspective. An orange hue was painted over cool porcelain and wispy clouds wrapped themselves around the rock, warming our moon on ( Read more... )

People like to talk, to spread their words carelessly. These words fester in the mouths of such people, escaping in the form of nasty, incurable diseases. Gaping holes are left in their place; and when stitches are fabricated to heal the wounds, the flesh is once again broken ( Read more... )

I died last night. I was at work, scheduled as a ticket tearer once again. But for some reason, all these people from my old job were there; namely, Mr. Jones. We were up in the old break room but it was really dark. Mr. Jones told me that we were under attack. Bombs were dropping all over the states. He wanted me to go downstairs and take cover, ( Read more... )

I watched an entire movie just to hear the credits' music. Solo harp, bells, piano. Lovely, enchanting... solemn and befitting. If my life had a soundtrack, this piece would be its requiem.

The past couple of days have entailed much driving. My car rolled over to 20,000 miles on Saturday. It was quite sad. If I keep my new job, I'll probably reach 30,000 in no time ( Read more... )

I want desperately to sleep but my sober mind won't allow it. Everything is a distraction. I know every sound in this house. Each door has a distinct and characteristic noise... my door shuts softly and opens silently. My sister's door has a crisper, louder tone. The bathroom door is the only one that opens and closes normally, as the shifting of ( Read more... )

( I seriously don't know why I talk to this kid sometimes... )

Wind swept her dusky tresses into loops and curls and her eyes spoke softly of the sunset. Against the fiery sky she stood holding her breath, almost blending into the canvas painted behind her. Evenings like these were rare, when the setting sun would paint the sky resplendent shades of pink and orange, purple and blue. Until the sun touched the ( Read more... )

I remember visiting a friend in a house that used to belong to a childhood friend of mine. She died sophomore year of high school in a skiing accident. While there, I conversed with the sister of an ex... a sister I didn't even know existed until tonight's episode. The sibling soon went to bed. It was so dark outside, much darker than nights I'd ( Read more... )

I woke up about an hour ago from forced sleep. The sleeping pills (a.k.a. tylenol pm) aren't really working anymore. My body's grown accustomed to them I suppose. I have a dentist appointment in about four hours. I'm actually excited to go. I like the dentist. I like having my teeth cleaned for me. And I like that it's an excuse to actually get out ( Read more... )
