The child reached up to grab two hands, only one was held. “Mama,” The child asked, looking up to their mother with wide eyes. She was humming today, swinging their arm gently. What was happening? Mama never did this. Never looked so… happy. “Mama, what’s going on?” they repeated themselves, before their mother stopped. She knelt, and a sad smile is given as she runs a hand through their hair.
“We are going to see your father, little one. He wished to see you.” At least, that is what is offered. The child gives a beaming smile, and reaches forward to tug on their mother’s face, forcing h
I was five years old when I died the first time.
It had been of a rare disease that the doctors couldn’t cure at the time. With bated breath my parents sat beside me and whispered how much they loved me through their tears. I was so young that I couldn’t understand their pain, but I knew something terrible was happening. That’s when Death came to me. He had held out his hand, and I had reached for it. He told me, “I’m taking you to a better place.” But for some reason, he didn’t. Instead, a rose had appeared in his hand, and he knelt to tuck it behind my ear while I giggled. I thought it wasn’t
It’s been years since I’ve ever thought
how you must be.
All I ever thought
was how I was going to survive without you.
I want to close this hole in my heart,
but I don’t know how.
I want to smile again –
a true smile –
but I don’t know how.
I want to find a way to begin anew,
but I don’t want too.
I don’t want to lose your smile,
your laugh
and your tears.
I don’t want to lose anything,
not the memories in the summer,
when we were reading books
and having adventures
in our imagination.
I don’t want to forget
the time we went to the carnival
and shared our first kiss.

Falling, falling, falling
Watch as Alice struggles to understand,
what cannot be understood.
Time slows down,
time speeds up.
It's all a matter of perception.
Welcome to Wonderland,
dear Alice –
where nothing is truly the same.

Request - A Night Out
"Comon, please~" Grell asked, more like whined, trailing after his partner. She had been ignoring him all day, and all he wanted to do was to have a dinner date with maybe a little bit of dancing in there, but really, that's all he wanted! And little Rose Valesworth was not giving him a time of day!
"No means no, Sutcliff; just because I let you spend the night one time at my place – and don't you give that suggestive smirk; you know nothing happened! – doesn't mean that we're dating! Now sod off; before I decide to do something drastic." A very strained and tired voice replied curtly. Green eyes peered back at the redhead in ann
It was late in the afternoon when Kevin came in, expecting the old man to be at his normal place in the bookstore. So it was to his surprise when he spotted a young lady about the age of twenty to be in the old man's place instead. He instantly threw up his guard, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone hostile. "Who are you?" she looked up from the counter, her gaze brief and panicky, but soon dulled to a disinterest.
"New hire," she said with a shrug, "Leo hired me a week ago." Oh right, Kevin thought, warily putting his things up, the sun had been out then, and he hadn't been able to go out. "I don't think I've met you, however." She sai
Money. Love. Family.
Those were meaningless now, the person knew that, as the rain continued to pour. Continuing to stare at the grave, they grew numb as the sermon continued – it was ironic considering that their loved one was considered an atheist. Perhaps it was done by a church – they didn't know.
Rain. Cold. Death.
Why did it have to be you? The person thought, allowing friends and family to drag them away – a limp puppet with its strings cut. Their suit was beyond ruined, the rain helped that. It was a miracle that they survived such a horrendous affair, but that's why tranquilizers were invented. Whispers circulated around them, but
