The Girl In The Pictures

The girl in the pictures.

"You sure you wanna do this?" The woman's voice echoed through the stark, white-walled room. Heather had taken off her blouse and bra in front of her, and was covering her breasts with her hands, with nervousness clear on her face. She was shaking and standing where the camera couldn't capture her. "Move to the center, stand firm, and smile a little," the woman ordered. "You look sad. We need to brighten up a little." Hea...

It was love at first sight for me. The minute I saw her, I knew I wanted her. Her curves drove me crazy. She could stand out in any crowd. Alas, like most young men, I soon got bored and wanted to move on. It wasn’t long before I started jumping from one to another. Somehow, none were as satisfying as my first love. Despite her many faults, she was still my first. Now that I’m older; I would give anything to have her back...

Shot Through The Heart

Does the mysterious lady hold the key to cheating destiny?

At first I barely felt the bullet pierce the low-slung cocktail dress and enter my heart. It seemed impossible to consider death real, despite the warning minutes earlier from the mysterious lady with the black eye shadow alongside me. I always thought I'd have more time. Guess everyone does. My demise only registered when I caught sight of the spatter of red – my red – peppering his shirt as he tucked the gun away, butto...

Unraveling an Icon

If given the chance, what would you change?

Oh God, I want to get out of here," she moaned aloud to no one in particular. "Leave? Before the fireworks at midnight?" I, handsomely dressed in a black suit, slipped onto a barstool beside her. “Do I know you, sweetie?” She didn't turn towards me when she talked and nervously moved her clutch closer to her hourglass figure; my heart sank hearing the pills rattling inside their bottles that she kept hidden in her purse....

Hey Friend

I'm missing the good parts of a bad friend, and I fear they're gone for good ~cheese on bread

Hey, listen friend, I get it. I do understand where you are coming from, how you feel, and what you are trying to accomplish. I'm in the same place as you, it's dark and intimidating; lonely. You miss a friend you once had, maybe they weren't the best of friends, maybe they drive you up the wall but still you did care about them. You still care about them and even still you want to undo mistakes made. I have made mistakes...

What People Don't Realise

A short story by Andrea Snyman. Some stories begin where you think they end.

What people don’t realise is that death isn’t what they think it is. ~ You find yourself in a waiting room…Sitting comfortably on the couch. It’s not too cold, it’s not too warm…It even comes complete with old school elevator type music. They probably figured a setting as familiar as a doctor’s office would be calming, but then they never met my orthodontist. He is still very much alive and torturing little children with...

My stepfather

Such two speeches cannot wait: I LOVE YOU and I AM SORRY. Elsewise...

When I was only six and my younger brother was two, our father passed away. Since then, my mother and we were dependent upon each other. Our days were difficult. My mother had to work very hard to keep our family together. The income was just enough to cover basic expenses. Until one day, my mother ushered a man into our home. She asked us to call him - FATHER. No, he was just our stepfather. I was nine that year. My step...

To The Eternity

We regret, repent and remorse only when we have lost exhaustively.

I gaze at you taciturnly all of a sudden. Expecting to see the geniality eyes again with which makes me feel so warm. The day before we reunite in the endless journey, I will evermore cherish the memory of you. The reminiscence of the difficulties we had gone through together. That was faded away gradually. I just remember the laughter which was caused by you majority. Only if the wind is still blowing, I will miss you al...

  Time goes slow,As I sink into an all-time low.My heart beats pain as I strain my eyes looking for a better future.All doors closed but I keep an open mindLeft alone, I am the last of my kindI got comfortable, in a home that wasn’t mineSleeping every day thinking; everything would be fineInstead, I should have been preparing for the storm to comeI should have been on the lookout and on the runI’m not ready yet!To live a...

If I were for REAL

Life should be as colorful as the rainbow... Please remember you are your only painter. alwayssss

If the water can return, take me away please!If the water can take in, it will never grieve!Someone admires you streaming freely!I wish to swap with you, then I can run capricious!If the water were I, it would weep for sure!If I were the water, I would never look back on anymore!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In spite of the character determines destiny. Life should be...

Once i was a king

My first time trying a rhyme scheme and structure like this, hope you guys like it.

Once I was a mighty king who owned it all,An empress and vast kingdomBut all great empires eventually fall. I still sit upon my lonely throne,The only thing that remained,After all else left with a great groan. There I sit saddened at my own loss,The loss borne by me,Its creator, its once cocksure boss. When one once built a grand life easily,The struggle before is forgotten,The grace and grandeur blind completely.You for...

The infatuation love is caused the entire life with regrets

It takes hundred of years sitting together in the same boat. It takes thousand of years.......

Love is like a string of dreams.It is all empty when awaken.Perhaps I was born to be that much sentimental.Thus, I am teased by love.The dream we are chasing after is vanished as time pass by.We comprehend that love is out of our control completely,only when we awaken.I longed for flying high up to the sky,and I was so much impulsive at the beginning.If I still think of you someday,you should believe that I was deeply in...

Interlude

Life is such a very complicated matter. Just we are so impotent when things happened sometimes....

 Something maybe happens. Something cannot let it happen. But, it happens in life always!And it is completely out of our expectations!All in all, it is just an interlude thathas happened to us this time, this life! -------------------------------------------------- Life is such a very complicated matter.Just we are so impotent when things happen sometimes.There will be too many interludes happening in our lives.Love is ju...

I drifted to sleep and into a familiar dream.I saw you holding a glass of wine and smiling at a beautiful woman. She was dressed simply yet she was breathtaking. Her eyes were vibrant and honest; her smiles were pure and genuine. She laughed with so much glee, talked with little inhibitions. She looked content and free.She was me.I woke up with a start. I stared at the mirror, at shadows and hollows on my cheeks and eyes...

I never meant to do the things I did,But love made me do them.The words I said were not by my choice,Love made me say them. I never meant to say I quit,But love made me surrender,Taking that terrible hit. I never meant to smile as I walked away,But love made me do it,Saying he’d only hurt you if I stay. I never wanted to make you cry,Love made me do it,Saying it was better than living in a truthful lie. Love made me force...
