LJ Idol - Morgenmuffel
“I don’t wanna do this.” I repeat this phrase to myself over and over again, as the warm water from the show cascades over my body.
I stare blankly at the wall and wish I could just go back to bed. It’s too early for this. I’m already not a morning person, but these treatments make me even less eager to get out of bed.
Eventually I pull myself ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol "What Really Matters"
The dragon’s scales glimmered, reflecting the sunlight in a rainbow of colors. His chest no longer rose and fell with each fiery breath. Dark, red blood pooled around his body, forming a stream that would soon be miles long.
The four heroes, bloodied and exhausted, stared down at the magnificent beast’s corpse. Relief washed ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol: Black Rainbow
CW: Fertility and cancer.
When I was younger, I made the mistake of having the same therapist as my partner.
As I sat in her office, a pillow in my lap and tears in my eyes, I confessed to her that I was thinking of leaving my boyfriend.
“Why? Aren’t things going well for the two of you?”
“Well yes,” I said. “Very well. I have never been so ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol Three Strikes
I don’t know what I’m thinking… but I’m going to try this mini season. I’m throwing my hat in the ring.
Let’s see how long I last while dealing with daily radiotherapy next month!

LJ Idol Sudden Death
You know, I actually thought about writing something for this, but I don’t think it would be fair since I didn’t really write for the original topic. I wouldn’t want to take a place from someone who had.
Good luck to everyone that remains. Thank you for those who voted for me even though I sacrificed during the last poll - I appreciate your support ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol Week 21: The Way Back
It's ironic that the topic this week is "The Way Back" since all my energy has been on trying to find a way back to the US to fix all of my problems. It's all I can think about - how am I going to get rid of my apartment? Will my landlord find out I'm not there? Knowing him, will it mean trouble and more calls where he brings me to tears? What ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol Week 20 - Boondoggle
"I'm sorry."
My husband looked over at me from his seat in the back of the ambulance.
"Why are you sorry?" he asked me.
"Because I know this will be a waste of time. It's probably nothing."
"Well, that would be good news, wouldn't it? We want it to be nothing."
"I suppose so."
Back in the United States, I would never dream of going to the ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol Week 18: Blood Harmony
Singing was my life. People used to say I had the voice of an angel, that I would go far with a voice like mine. My entire life revolved around music. I went to a special high school for the arts, while most of my friends went off to magic schools. I worked my vocal cords while others learned charms or potions. Magic was in my blood, but music was ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol Season 11 Week 17: Negative Reverse
The demon sat at the bar, her long, black-stocking clad legs crossed seductively. Her pursed lips painted red and inviting. She flipped her raven hair over her shoulder with a flick of her wrist, turning her dark eyes on a group of poor, unsuspecting men over by the broken jukebox.
That was until I took a seat next to her.
Her eyes darted over to ( Read more... )
