A Study in Family Dynamics: Lessons from Childhood

Even though Haley knew it was a trick – that it could only be another scam – her hands still shook and her mouth went dry as she stared at her phone. She turned back to her computer. She didn’t owe him anything, especially after what he’d pulled at Christmas. The phone buzzed again and Haley gave it a sour look. Of course, her brother wanted to talk right now. She swiped huffily at the screen. “Haley, so glad I caught you.” She tapped at her keyboard, fingernails clacking noisily. She’d chip one at this rate. “Hey Eric. I’ve got a deadline on Friday, so I can’t talk long.” “No, of course, you’re right. I’m on my way home from work myself. I just wanted to see if you’d checked your email today.” Haley narrowed her eyes. “Really?” She said, her voice light. “Is there something in my inbox I should worry about?” Eric chuckled. “Not worry per say, but open urgently.” Haley scoffed under her breath. “If you’re talking about the message from Dad…” “Look, he reached out to me. And, no,” he

Breathing

You're the thing I never thought of thinking of The friend I needed by my side Couldn't give you up You`re on my mind It's been too much You're the air knocked out of me The kiss of life You have no words or medley, but here tonight I'm dancing to your song It's not true love No fairytale ending But here you are Holding my hand Saying that you love me I don't deserve a thing, but you don't give up And that's enough You're all I need Everything I ever hoped And ever dreamed is you So why is this so difficult? Telling you I'll try? You give me all you have and still I won't meet your eyes So here I go Closing my eyes I won't bet much Only

Waking by silverwingeddarkness, literature

Waking

Does Memory rue the selfish gain? Does this spinning web break free Of a train, runaway with desire? For I desire desire And hearts content Is it that I feel less? Less than perfect Less than human Less than feeling The shell of emotion Fills nothing And hides all When my fingers tip tap Up and away Dancing away from the rest of me I wonder if I can really see When reality becomes surreal, How ends the day? When I rest awake And tire in dreams When I am alive Am I dead asleep?

On Your Birthday by silverwingeddarkness, literature

Literature

On Your Birthday

Life has never had reason, nor rhyme In the making of men's souls Life has never justified height, Colour or apparent sight, But science feels the need to explain Why we are what God has made Life is not a poem or a song, It is not existence or subsistence, or knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is a fight, a struggle, To exert our God-given things To stretch our wings To take flight as shelter in every storm Life is the connection between us, The light that binds us together. Life is in our souls. Life is something Only God can know.

WotD-Delirium

I am at war with myself. I can no longer sleep for fear that in the morning, a stranger's face I will awake to find, a monsterous visage in place of mine. I can no longer dream for when I do, I fall and fall and fall and fall, and do not wake when my bones break and my spine shatters and my blood runs like water from the rocks all around. Why then does my body not resist sleep and defeat the construct of its demise for when the nights grow long and longer still, my body grows weak and slow. However, it is not so with my mind, terrible, splintering thing though it is. My mind races and rages against the failing of the mortal cage that it is bo

Drowne

I had to breathe. Fighting panic, I fought the urge to open my mouth then and there. My lungs convulsed, bucking within my chest wildly as I fought to keep from breathing. I do not need to breathe in. I have enough oxygen. I do not need to breathe in because I have enough oxygen, so I am fine. I could feel a dull ache building at my temples; I was fine for now, but soon I would not be. I jerked up and down, ignoring the shooting pain in my arms. I needed to get to the surface soon or I would drown. I need air. I want to live. I thrashed about, trying to fight the weight that anchored me to the seabed. It was so dark and cold, I f

Word of the Day - Infamous 2

It, as with all things of its kind, started with silence. The tense anticipation of a jury's verdict, the silent desperation of an unanswered prayer. Everyone staring and trying not to stare for fear of tiping the balances the other way. Everyone hoping for a miracle, fearing a disaster, and still unable to turn away from the spectacular horror of it all. The birthing of something - it could only be called a new life, but may well have been a new kind of death. It was the end of the world. Then the minute hand ticked and everything came apart. It was a sound that was often lost, muffled, erased in the noise of a hospital, of a school, of a

Word of the Day - Infamous

I squeezed the trigger, momentarily forgetting all of my few moral qualms about taking such an assignment. Long ago, I would have hesitated about taking a life, innocent or not. More recently, I struggled to reconcile the concept of 'collateral damage'. But now, in the quiet moments, where there are only my thoughts to keep me company, I question my purpose. My duty is protect and serve, but more often than not I follow the orders of men, fallable men. I carried out my orders without hesitation, but I am still a human being with a conscience, though that conscience has become less and less vocal throughout my life. I have always known what w

Writer's Block by silverwingeddarkness, literature

Writer's Block

Dear Writer's Block, You stink. Every night I lay in my bed, kept awake by a soldier storming a hill, a woman braving a storm, a child lost in a pile of blankets, her small body comforted by the warmth of knowing she is loved and knowing that when morning comes everything will be the same and nothing will have changed. But not I. My sleep is restless and my mornings darkened by the stories in my head. All of them shouting and whispering and crying and screaming. Some laugh and some die and some are born, but all are mine. See that, Writer's Block, I just rhymed. D

But I was wondering if maybe you guys would like to see the stuff I've been working on all summer.  I could post teasers for the novels I've edited and the covers I've made.  Would that be interesting? It's also shameless promotion for the books.  I'm not saying that you should buy these books since they're probably not your thing, but I encourage people to buy books online from authors who self-publish.  A lot of it is truly brilliant and deserves more recognition than it gets. That aside, does anyone want to see some stuff I've worked on?  I kinda want to show it off since a lot of work went into these things, but I'm also looking for fee

Life, as it stands

Is pretty okay.  Neither yay or nay, just eh.  I'm hanging out with a Japanese exchange student in a week, so that's something to look forward to.  I need some place to take her, so if people have ideas about fun things to do, I'd appreciate it. Turns out, not getting into the writing class was a good thing.  The professor apparently is a jerk.  Spoke to people to took his class.  Regardless of whether they got a good grade or not, they all decided not to take his class again.  I guess I'll have to find writing courses somewhere besides the U of A, which is fine.  Honestly, I really want to do stuff to help students write the stories they wa

Failure Among Other Things

0 min read

So I just heard from the university about the writing course.  They said my work shows promise, but I guess it didn't show enough because they told me to try again next year.  Except I can't because I'm in neuroscience, so whatever.  I'm trying really hard right now to not be depressed about this, but I'm kinda just sick of working hard on stuff that ends up not working out anyway.  Sucks to be me, I guess.  Oh well, better luck never. Anywho, I'm at work, but I'm taking my mandatory break right now.  It's kind of a bummer to be working a writing job when I just got rejected from a writing course, but I guess that's just how it goes some day
