Not me



   Red light.Stopped the car.Waiting. Hot summer day. In the car,windows down. Hands at the wheel and there you are. Walking down the street with him. It seems like it was almost yesterday since we broke up and yet,it seems like you have moved on. Fast. So many years together,all of the memories,the good the bad. All down the drain,gone in an instant. It’s funny how easy it is to throw it all away,how easy it was for you to move on. Just like that,you got another guy. Parading around,showing him off. Big man.
   My eyes widen,I cannot believe it. Short messy red hair,slender,that face,the smile..he looks, just like me. You did not want me so you got another guy instead.He looks just like me. It’s sad. You had me and we could have had it all,but you let it all burn.You will never have with him what we had,he will not be like me,it will never be the same. You keep him close and hold his hand,remember when it was me?I’m sorry,you can’t have me back.He may look like me but he’s not me. Sad,ironic,angry,frustrated.I am shaking,can’t breathe,it all rushes back to me. Tear rolls down my cheek.Green light.Foot down. I left you behind once more.

Performance anxiety

   I´m so nervous. This is my first time. Hands shaking uncontrollably. Never really felt this way. It is like they are not my own. Sweat dripping all over me. All over my face and down my brow. I feel my whole body shake. I don´t feel steady on my own two legs but I know,I will get used to it with time. I know it will be alright. Besides,I have the best tutor. Nerves are natural,he said,and it would be strange not to be nervous. It will get better. Still hear that in my mind,which by the way is a nervous wreck at this point. I can´t think straight. All I can think about is making sure it goes down well,it´s perfect. It´s my first time but still.    Here we are,student and the master so to speak. About to begin the show. I am a wreck and he has seen it all. Thank God he is by my side. I do need the guidance even though we practised a dozen times,i still need all the help I can get I want to be perfect. At the moment he is giving me the talk,it will be alright,he s...

At the top of the hill

   Old wooden church at the top of the hill. Some people say cultists gather at night to worship the demons. There were tales of sacrifice,people captured and kept there. Chanting has been heard from a distance by some and blood has been found in the area.Whether you believe it or not it seems like something,something is going on there. Some people speak of salvation and say that church does a great thing,helps people. Maybe it does but nobody speaks openly about what they see or hear at night and now. Now it is time to find out. The angry crowd gathered outside the church at night,they are determined to find out what is happening in their house of worship at night,whether the rumours are true and if they are,the cultists,those who abuse the faith will pay. As a the crowd approached the church,the doors flung open. People in cloaks and capes,covered in blood,carrying stones and books ran out.Screams were heard from within. Some managed to escape through the crowd while so...

“Rip. Rip rip away. Rip away the pain. Rip away the suffering. It is over. Do not worry little angel. It is done now. You are free and you will not suffer no more.I will make you better,I will stop the pain and I will help you leave this wretched twisted world. You are too good for them. Let me help you. Be free now little angel. Go forth.”He said making the last slice across the dead mangled face,finishing his masterpiece.     Once the latest piece was completed,it was ready to be presented now. He dressed his little angel up and hanged her high up for all to see, he is here. He will help all the angels of the city and they can rest easy,their time will come. For all the sinners,it was a sign. He was in the city and he will save the pure souls from the wicked one´s influence. All the angles will be free and they will all soar high,and when the time will come,he will join the angels. That night,he disappeared into the darkness of the streets. Lurking in the shadows,tra...
