An Itinerant Mouse
On days like these, when the wind whistling past is wet and cold and the air inside the van stinks of petrol and coffee, I wonder if my mother was right. Perhaps I truly am a house mouse at heart.
Hatch Or Suffocate
The air is growing stale and close. I press my hands against the cool, smooth, gently curving surface surrounding me. Searching.
The Heartbeat Of The Club
I stomp until the memories of this hard week beg for mercy beneath my feet. I sway until the clinging sadness gives up and falls away. I punch the air until my frustration is splattered across the ceiling like invisible neon paint.
A Perfectly Normal Approach
Itâs nothing. I mean, itâs perfectly normal to mess around and experiment with your avatars, right? Especially when you always end up having a dozen characters in each game you play. Thatâs just⌠everyone does that. Itâs NORMAL.
The "Free Hugs" Pipe
The sign was dingy. Scribbled on cardboard, jammed onto some long-abandoned nail, reading âFREE HUGS!â with an arrow pointing to the big drainage pipe.
The Witch Phoenix
The tang of ash and regret chokes the air. I angle my wings and soar down, down⌠not towards the charred skeleton of a hut or the corpses within, but to the other end of the pitiful trail; the cowering figure huddled deep in the woods.
In The Jaws Of Hate, For Love
Dawn touches the horizon as we gather. Weâre all dressed for a riot - masks, helmets, warding amulets - yet the silence echoes.
It will remain until the guard arrives to stamp it out.
A Time Capsule Of Dreams
Clearing out the parents' attic leads to rediscovering old stolen treasure - and accompanying pain.
Justice For The Spyder
Darkness fills the cave, but I no longer have eyes and am unbothered by lack of light. This mask, this wicked porcelain prison, forces me to see the nightmare surrounding me.
