The Snow Doesn't Fit in this W
Late in the afternoon I needed to take the subway to the other side of town. I have a coffee date with one of my last few friends in this world..
Everyone leaves me..
The snow crunches under my boots leaving the house, towards the subway stairs. It's the kind of day where it snows even though the weather isn't cool enough for the snow to keep on the ground. None the less, it is still chill and my scarf does a miserable job at keeping my maw warm.
I work as a dishwasher at a deli also down the street. The wind likes to inhabit the cracks in soap beaten hands.
Going down the stairs, the air gets warmer and more still. I always liked that ab

Magic Guitar with the magical
Ronnie Finished picking his apples for the day and was comfortably sitting under one of his apple trees plucking away at his guitar.
You see, in those places in America there isn't much to do in a day after the work is done so, when you have something to do that you like to do, it's what you do.
For Ronnie, it was playing guitar.
Ronnie was playing in the sun while the citters of the forest came for a listen. Some squirrels were chittering while some birds chirped.
Something Ronnie liked to do besides playing guitar was exploring. That day, Ronnie went to a local swamp looking for pollywogs and other slimy things.
There, in the muck near
In a sleepy town close to you a Couple lay in their bed. The house asleep and everything was fine. Alight rumble and the alarm clock starts to flash 12:00. Another shake, this time more violent, their eyes snap open and look at each other not moving. Boom, another shake and this time they're up. They look outside and see the ground is growing some kind of protrusion and its growing fast.
The growth hits the foundation of the house and the house shakes violently. The parents move quickly grabbing their two kids. Sleepy eyed they're rushed down the hall and down the stairs. Ceiling and hung pictures start to fall as another jolt shocks the hou
I used to be evil. I used to maim and envelop people into danger. Then, one day while fighting a foe who sought to free the world from my evil.. got their wish.
We tussled and rolled, engaging in stalemate after stalemate until.. they tripped me and my head hit something, hard.
When I woke up I felt my personality washing away like the tide going out. I felt disoriented and had no sense of who I was, despite the concussion. I could feel who I was, but I couldn't see it or get a grip on it. Soon, it was gone and I was someone new.
someone good..
when I was told of my past, I could believe it. I have so much good in my heart now, such a sen

The long Over Due Goodbye
Our house is a sleep except the creaks and cracks, a sonic history of the house. Outside there's a low glow creeping up the hill to the house...
Bill crouched on the ground in front of the window, peaking his large nose out the curtains, pupils fixated and dilated to small saucers.
Coming up the hill, the glow grew brighter and Bill's eyes grew larger. Up that damn hill came Rufus.. uncle Rufus. Rufus glowed a dim blue and all his skin was sagging all over the place.
"Honey..." Bill said, "Uncle Rufus is here..." Still widening eyes and fixated on the figure now approaching the door. Bill's wife, Robin rolled over to face Bill, opened one
The helicopter landed in a nearby copse of trees, and here I am shot up and unable to move. Those damn bad guys gunned me down in my escape of the prison, they never could hold on to me. A war buddy came screaming in, guns ablazing, shooting everything that moved and sprung me. Little did we know they were waiting for us outside.
We rounded the corner, inches away from freedom, my pulse throbbing in my ears and bam. Little johnny was shot down, he was soo young. I couldn't turn around and save him, he only would have slowed me down and he knew that.
I reached a nearby building, outside of their view, closeby to the patch of land that was ar

The Man Who Keeps Finding Mone
deep in the the heart of the city, there was an average man who lived in a dumpy apartment, who walked the city all day with the saddest look on his face all day.
Everyday, he would walk in the crowds of people, looking at the ground as if someone had stolen something from him.
While stopped at a cross walk, the man continuing his sullen look, gets tapped on the arm. Slowly, turning his half lit eyes to the tap and there stood, a little girl.
The little girl looked up at the man, and the man looked down at her. She was a normal little girl, but parents nowhere in sight.
"why are you so sad?" the little girl pleaded.
In a very meek voice
This is a story about janey, she is 5 years old, but almost 6. today at school she met a new friend.
Janey was outside at recess, playing near the group of trees at the back of the yard, in the back corner where the gate to go to the buses is and she heard a little voice. Janey looked all around the small trees with the one stump but didn't see anyone near her. Janey folds herself in half to look through her legs under the roots of the single stump. In the small hole she saw something sparkling. Almost falling over, she reaches in and pulls out not something made of metal but a little creature.
This creature was lizard like in nature but w
