Yeah i know i said my next post would be my short story, and it isnt. So i lied... Oh well right? So the short story is going to be a lot tougher than i anticipated and is going to take awhile. Wrote this one tonight. Its poetic although it doesnt rhyme.
**Today is the Day**
The extremes.
I woke up asleep this evening and stumbled to lay down.
Once i sat i began to run triangles around the sky.
I quickly begin to slow down.
I wandered directly to my destination and cursed myself graciously for alluding my path.
I closed the door and walked through the entrance.
Sure-Footed I bumble toward my sword.
Placing the tip against my temple i murmur "this is a silent sigh slipping softly."
I push the trigger and a whisper echos through the chamber as it belched the heat of a lead feather, passing it straight through my heart.
A tear from my right eye - sorrow -
A tear from my left eye - happiness -
A tear from my heart - intuition -
The silence screams so loudly my ears bleed.
The darkness is so bright it hurts my eyes.
-
The Devil rose from the sky.
God fell from the Earth.
They sang in harmony "You have failed and let fail, as now we shall allow for you. Now prosper."
FLASH
Awake.
Turning over in my bed i stare at an orange sky.
I cough up a bullet.
Time fades with the sunset.
The curtains fall, the audience applauds, and i brightly frown from ear to ear.
-solace-
-silence-
-so lace-
-sigh LENSCE-
