Short

Snippets of writing, from my journals with added fiction. Maybe i will one day put them all together, or maybe i will just leave them as short stories.

Lies.

I looked into your mouth and saw maggots fidgeting, uncomfortable on your warm, wet tongue.

Alone.

So alone right now. It’s like I can see the whole of the world, and no one is here. Like 28 days later when he leaves the hospital and everyone has gone.

Believe.

When we lay there and told each other that life would get better from now on, now we had each other, I believed you. I really did.

Bounce.

The room was packed out, the walls cracking with the intense atmosphere, seams splitting and wounds opening. Shirts were drenched, faces pale and legs weak.

Coffee Shop.

Josh walked the creaky steps, carefully balancing the wooden tray topped with teapot and cup. He found himself a comfy seat in the form of a cushy leather sofa, framed by oriental cushions.

Peter and the Wolf.

Josh smiled, wiping the blood from his face with his fingers, before placing them provocatively in his mouth and sucking. He closed his eyes in pleasure.

Happiness.

I often feel weightless, like a mysterious being is lifting me high into the air, holding me underneath my arms, letting my legs skim across the clouds, my hair pulled back by the cold wind.

Deer.

He stood in front of the light bulb and gazed at his shadow that lay flat on the wall in front of him.

Scar

Run, run.

The corridors were silent apart from the perfectly timed clicking and thud of Josh’s boots as he marched slowly towards the hall. His face was blank, broken by an occasional fluttering smile.

Rocking chair.

Drug rush.

She once told me in the basement while cutting up blow that we were born to die. I can still sense my rapid heartbeat and the way my mouth dried up so quickly I almost chocked.

Gone.

Why do we let ourselves to get like this? Why can’t we accept that this is what happens?

I'm laughing.

Sitting here, listening to the familiar click of the keyboard, trying to supress my deafening anxiety that is bubbling inside of me, intense movements that threaten to break through the skin.

The Map.

Nazi flag.

I tried to run away but I got tangled up by all the webs that surrounded me, enclosing all the evil and negativity inside.

The Bridge.

Sitting on the edge of the bridge and looking down, there is no vertigo, no anxiety, no fear at all, just peace.

Who am I?

The world is turning too quickly and im losing my balance, threatening to topple over and break my neck.

Hanging man.

I saw him hanging upside down, rope bound tightly around his ankles and tied to the thickest part of a tree branch.
