chp 1 cont

Michael was just turning around to look for Brian when the first bullet cracked through the air, close enough to stir the hair around his ears. Michael instinctively hit the deck- hard, and not a minute to soon; the already demolished town was suddenly a war zone; the rattle of gunfire filled the... Sign in to see full entry.

TBD chp1 cont...

Michael was only about a hundred feet away from the old cathedral when the explosion went off. He and Brian were walking back from the dig discussing some of their latest findings. Brian was halfway through some corny joke he’d told a million times before, when the first shock waves hit. Michael was... Sign in to see full entry.

NO TITLE YET, PG2 CHP1

The highway stretched out before me a dark slash across the already desolate landscape. Not a sign of life anywhere, a pitch-black, can’t see your hand in front of your face kind of night. Didn’t really bother me to much this was the world I was born into, but still, there are some pretty big things... Sign in to see full entry.

If I were to write an autobiography An act in which, I will endeavor not I would not suppress those few moments, not forgot When I found myself to be the villain In my own story’s plot Nor The history of my misdeeds Through and true, and biased not A plot complete so as not to blot The mystery who...

No use for feelings aymore. your friends say your lucky you never got caught. Your not. It fed your ego, kept you going. Never stopping,... Sign in to see full entry.

PIECES

Time is measured in pieces and seconds. Hours and minutes left behind as we work our daily grind. 436 pieces, 15 seconds: That’s how long till I can stop; punch the clock, go home: unwind. But not now, not here, "your way behind, now’s your time to shine”; my boss says as somewhere deep inside he... Sign in to see full entry.

ODD

Being odd I can handle; its being normal that’s hard. Like a wrinkle in time, mime after mime, has laughed and has cried. Been born than died. But not me, no not I, I play in the rain. Enjoy both pleasure and pain, forget what I’ve lost- what can I gain? Bedheads, redheads, wet-behind- the-ears,... Sign in to see full entry.

LIVING NIGHT

Raging waters running deep, Silent souls traveling neath Ever entranced in troubled sleep While above shimmering light Sparkles on the surface bright Concealing below the pitiful plight Of those who lost the will to fight Ever encroaching merciless night A pit formed from lack of sight Finding...
