The Alternatives

Nightmare As quick as it went down, the rage went back up and I threw another shot glass against the wall. Lily whimpered then, and as soon as it left her white snout, I threw myself at her and apologized, “I’m so sorry, girl, Meli did it,” I bent down and picked up the shards, careful of Lily, “Promise me, Lily, you’ll never be dumb like daddy and fall in love, it hurts. It really does,” I turned and looked Lily, who sat at the entrance, watching dumbfounded. At this point, I couldn’t walk straight, nor even have a single word leave my lips completely. Even Lily could smell the alcohol in my breath. Yet how can I convince his dog that it wasn’t his fault? If any good came out of this rotten, shit filled relationship and pain was Lily, I thought. Lily belonged to Meli at one point. Henry looked back at if fondly. Meli had gotten Lily from her first dog and watched her grow up. Meli then thought it would be best to take Lily away, since her parents already had too many ...

David Arrives He’s here. I feel a bit better.  But, I think it also has something to do with the alcohol I have in the fridge. “I bring you the Gandalf!” David presents his long pipe, just like the one that Gandalf the Grey would smoke out of. The Gandalf would only be brought out when one of us was having a bad day, which apparently was every weekend. It was packed with weed that smelled like sweet oranges, “You’ll feel a fuck of a lot better once I’m through with you,” He removed his jacket and set it down on the table, making his way to the kitchen. “Another one?” “Yeah,” I responded. As he rummaged through the kitchen to grab the drinks, I began to spill my feelings on the matter that was on my mind. “Melissa dumped me today,” As he came out, he stood there, took a sip and handed me the drink and nodded to the pipe, “Take a hit man, what happened?” “She said I changed,” I said as I exhaled, “But all that is bullshit.  Her friends have been telling her to...

Created with Adobe Spark Break Up: The beginning  Melissa dumped me today. So, obviously I threw a fucking fit and now I won’t ever see her again, not after what happened today. I don’t really know what the fuck I can do now.  I haven’t really come to terms that the one person I wanted to wilt and die with no longer feels the same. I can barely function. All day long, it feels as if I’ve been repeating the same actions over and over again. I head down the hall of my townhome, sit down in the dining room table, then get back up and head back down the hall to see if I had forgotten my phone in the den. I hadn’t, since it’s in my hand the whole time, but it didn’t keep me from getting up a second time. I also have come to the realization that maybe, now that she’s gone, these are actions that were once automatic and now, I am very well aware of them. Somehow, this all feels, like a new experience, but I can’t help fighting with the facts – we were together for so ...

Hey, nuggets. Here is something I have been working for on a long while. It would mean a lot if you let me know what you think.  It is the beginning of a short story I am writing. Please let me know what you think. Soon, once I finish, I may put it all up on blog. Enjoy. "Break Up" Melissa dumped me today. So, obviously I threw a fucking fit and now I won’t ever see her again. In fact no one else will ever see her. I don’t really know what the fuck I can do now.   I can barely function. We’ve been together for so long. 1825 days. Now I have to remember to continue, just one less. Which, is actually really good on the wallet, so there is that. Is it selfish to feel like that? Or is it that I still can’t really come to terms with what just happened. I feel sickened by the events that have taken place. Jesus fuck. What the fuck? What is happening? I feel like im breaking down. Everything is falling out of place. I need to talk to someone, or at least actu...
