Quote Prompts (from tfln, @veryshortstory, @menshumor)
001. The therapy seemed to be working until I realized I was the patient, not the doctor. It got worse when I figured out I was just the chair.
.
002. (774): Oh you know, sitting here in my bathing suit watching antiques road show and petting the cat. Just the usual
.
003.It was over. I'd felt powerful, sexy and loved. Now, an empty plate sat where the chocolate cake had been. The loneliness crept back in.
.
004. (336): Boobs are also good for catching the vodka gummy bears that miss my mouth
.
005. Leaping from the cliff, my life flashed before my eyes, including previews from the upcoming episodes I would miss out on.
.
006. (205): I will take a blow job from a dude that kinda looks like a girl at this point.
007.I removed the crown from your sleeping head and tried it on. It fit perfectly. Father said I was to be king but my heart yearned to be queen.
008.(303): YOU NEED TO STOP BLOWING DUDES ON MY COUCH AT MY PARTIES
.
009. It was the perfect first date. Dinner then kisses as I held you close, absorbing the life force from your body, watching you turn to dust. .
010. (315): Like, he's a nice guy. But he's better at fingering than he is at speaking.
.
011. I turned on the light to help you find your way, wanting you to feel safe on your journey. So many find it unsettling here in the afterlife
.
012. (202): I need to have sex with you on our hotel room window ledge... This is a need not a request.
.
013. The tears fell from my eyes and burned through the ropes that bound me. I learned crying was my superpower, it could free me when needed..
014. "Like a Sprite?” she said knowing it was my favorite. “Yes”. She put it on the bed just out of reach. I strained against the handcuffs..
015. I transferred into your body so I could see your point of view. My body did look old and worn out. I pushed it off the ledge and kept yours..
016. (You'd think as drunk as I got last night that I wouldn't be in a bar again tonight......You'd think..
017. I want to be the reason you clear your browser history..
018. You wake up to the hottie from the bar cooking you Breakfast. .
019. She opens your beer with high-heeled shoes #ShesAKeeper .
020.Is it rude to throw a breath mint in someone's mouth while they are talking?
.
021. Let's keep it real. We all hope our exes have horrible lives..
022. The people who need firecracker safety tips aren't the people who read firecracker safety tips..
023. (928): I need a burrito and a hug..
024. (812): If you really hate me that much, you need to stop letting me put my penis inside of you. It sends the wrong message..
025.Many things can be preserved in alcohol...Dignity is not one of them. .

I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time. - Banksy
On the the morning she was moved to the cemetery, the one where Al Jolson is buried, I enrolled in a “Fear of Flying” class. “What is your worst fear?” the instructor asked, and I answered, “That I will finish this course and still be afraid." - excerpt from "In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson is Buried" by Amy Hempel
I think and think and think, I’ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it. - Jonathan Safran Foer
Love is hourly, too. There are stories about people who have loved someone forever after laying eyes on them for a few minutes and then nevermore, but these stories have not happened to anyone we know. No, when you love someone you spend hours and hours with them, and even the mightiest forces in the netherworld could not say whether the hours you spend increase your love or if you simply spend more hours with someone as your love increases. And when the love is over, when the diner of love seems closed from the outside, you want all those hours back, along with anything you left at the lover’s house and maybe a couple of things which aren’t technically yours on the grounds that you wasted a portion of your life and those hours have all gone southside. Nobody can make this better, it seems, nothing on the menu. It’s like what the stewardess offers, even in first class. They come with towels, with drinks, mints, but they never say, ‘Here’s the five hours we took from you when you flew across the country to New York to live with your boyfriend and then one day he got in a taxicab and he never came back, and also you flew back, another five hours, to San Francisco, just in time for a catastrophe.’ And so you sit like a spilled drink, those missing hours in you like an ache, and you hear stories that aren’t true and won’t bring anyone back. - from Adverbs by Daniel Handler
I like the dark part of the night, after midnight and before four-thirty, when it’s hollow, when ceilings are harder and farther away. Then I can breathe, and can think while others are sleeping, in a way can stop time, can have it so - this has always been my dream - so that while everyone else is frozen, I can work busily about them, doing whatever it is that needs to be done, like the elves who make the shoes while children sleep. - from A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. - Mark Twain
“There are two kinds of travel: first class and with children. - julian barnes

Poetry Prompts
excerpt from "The Name"
Alexander Pushkin
What is my name to you? 'T will die:
a wave that has but rolled to reach
with a lone splash a distant beach;
or in the timbered night a cry...
"That pretty girl"
Kobayashi Issa
That pretty girl--
munching and rustling
the wrapped-up rice cake.
excerpt from "i carry your heart with me"
E.E. Cummings
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
excerpt from "Lines Written At Home"
Anne Bronte
Warm hands are there, that, clasped in mine,
The warmer heart will not belie;
While mirth, and truth, and friendship shine
In smiling lip and earnest eye.
"Haiku"
Jack Kerouac
The low yellow
moon above the
Quiet lamplit house
"Suicide in the trenches"
Siegfried Sassoon
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
