438 Unfamiliar Face

An unfamiliar face with an unfamiliar name in a hospital room for the family member of an unfamiliar victim. Yet this unfamiliar face I watch begins to cry and this unfamiliar heart breaks with every tear that falls. An unfamiliar longing to comfort you fills me but it's wrong. You are unfamiliar. I am unfamiliar. And yet I feel ( Read more... )

 Time to post my responses to some all_unwritten prompts. I have been responding to some, I just haven't done my normal copy pasting them into the journal here. So now, after responding to today's prompt (or, technically yesterday's seeing as it's past 12:00 am), I shall take the time to refill my journal :)

Life is not defined by how many rights or lefts you take on those forks in the road, but by how many illegal u-turns you make along the way.

     The pretty, puffy clouds were so wispy today. She laughed as a unicorn danced towards the prince, and then frowned when they were replaced by a twisted, twirling dragon. The bunny she was playing with earlier came back and his long white ears stood out against the light blue of the sky. She was watching a princess when the sky completely ( Read more... )

     "You can't go home! You can never go home!"
     "Hah! Wow, you actually like these movies? What a bunch of b.s.!" His face never turned from the TV screen as he laughed at the actress warning her husband of his fate and yet mourning their situation at the same time.
     I just turned back to watch the scene play out, knowing his eyes hadn't ( Read more... )

      Hearing a gasp in a quiet library is never a good thing.
     "Uh-oh, Ana, look what you did!" His whisper was harsh and condescending as it wafted over her. The book cover in his hands was torn, ripped down the seam in a jagged paper suicide.
     "What?" Her whisper was just as sharp as his as she spit back the accusation. "I never even ( Read more... )

     He had never been the copy cat type. Always the original one he was. When Valentine's came by, he gave me candy corn and a DVD instead of old chocolates, soon-to-be-dead flowers and useless jewelry. On my birthday there was no cake, but giant helpings of fettucini alfredo and some smores in the mountains for dessert. At halloween we scared the ( Read more... )

 all_unwritten 389 - "he got on my nerves"

I swallowed the little caplet like a normal pill. It went down like a normal pill. But, in the back of my mind, I totally knew it wasn't your typical, "normal" pill.
     It was blue for one. Who had ever seen a blue bill? Besides the one Morpheus offered Neo in that ancient movie. But that was totally fiction. This ( Read more... )

     It was night. It had been night for quite some time now. Almost three years now apparently. I had lost count long ago as the days just melted together into one big stream of darkness and stars. It was hard to tell when it was actually 8pm or 8am anymore. A lot of people were beginning to miss work, showing up when their offices were closed ( Read more... )

 Prompt 387, "along the banks," for all_unwritten
