Master
There is something about a man wearing black leather gloves that is both inherently sexy and at the same time creepy. Serial killer-esque mixed with Alpha/Master. This man has not only black leather gloves, but well polished black leather shoes and a well-cared for black leather satchel/briefcase. Charcoal grey, tailored suit, and a matching fitted…
Vorschict! Glas!
Her body is made up of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, and other trace elements, but really she is glass. She is glass in all its forms. Her fluxes are ever changing, but at her core she is silica. At her best, at her purest, it would take over three thousand…
Playlist 9 – Impressions, D10
Playlist: Depressed Song 10: The Fool by Lee Ann Womack Hands Let it go. Let her go. I have my hands out, waiting to pull you into a safe protected space. Can you take that? Can you accept it? Long slender fingers. Dancing with him wearing the mask of another girl’s face. When you close your eyes…
Playlist 9 – Impressions, D18
Playlist: Depressed Song 18: When You’re Gone by Avril Lavigne Fingerprints Touch starved.

He shook himself from terror to terror, rescued from the horror of what might be to the lugubrious world of what was….
Crawl Into my Mouth
Crawl into my mouth Let me eat you Swallow you down Hot slick blood dripping off my chin Gristle stuck In that stupid gap Between my back two molars
Repercussions of a Breakup – Part Three
Laura slammed into the kitchen, chest heaving, her ginger hair up in a bun. Jess had her feet up on the table, carefully applying a new coat of paint to her nails. Tess was at the stove humming to herself as she made stirfry and Brendan was absorbed with his computer. None of them flinched…
Playlist 9 – Impressions, D24
Playlist: Depressed Song 24: Dear Angel of Mine by April Sixth Physical Chest heaving, sweat seeping into her eyes and burning, bloody bruised knuckles, and copper-tinted spit coating her tongue and pooling in her mouth. Barefoot, skin ripped and rubbed out in patches, purple and red and green shins and forearms. Soft to hard spots,…
City of Rumors
I am in that space between fully functioning consciousness and the oblivion of sleep when my lover speaks. “What have you heard about the City of Rumors?” she whispers and I shift in her arms. “Cyrilla…s’late,” I murmur. “Please.” I lean more into her warmth and speak the words before I really even have time…
