LovelesS Ex 1

She floats above me. An emerald spinning endlessly as beads of sweat gently caress my skin before fading to the sheets underneath me. Her halo stays fixed as if a separate entity from her body. Her wings folded halfway so the feathers at the tips protrude passed her hips.
The atoms of my skin floating above my body connect me to her as the noon day sun burns my flesh gently in the cool New York breeze. With each new wave of the atomic extensions, the elders pass on and die off at my sides. Their movements appear to me as a fountain, but I ignore their beauty in lieu of her graceful presence above me.
I pull another drag off my e-cigarette, stealing away every moment of bliss from the subpar replacement of my lifelong attachment; my friend; my best friend, actually.
She withdraws into her own fantasy. Disappearing from my frame of perception.
She sneezes.
It tickles her, and her facial expression advises as such.
I laugh, lacking any stable connection to my emotions.
She bounces back.
My smile emerges.
She is gentle, natural, and pure.
My view of her is who she is in this home.
Nothing else can affect reality.
Only two options are offered.
Both bring me pleasure.
The decision is hers.
It need not be shared.
"Adam!" she calls out.
My smile turns to laugh turns to smile.
I place my fingertips on both sides of her heart.
“Wanna switch?” she asks in a whisper, unconcerned with whether her words made it passed the barrier of our breathing.
I smile as a bead of sweat burns gently in my eye.
The pain quickly transformed as she beats down upon my chest, falling into a sweet peck on the lips.
“Sure,” I respond as the grip of my fingertips tightens to switch our positions.
We fall together to our sides; I gaze into her eyes with a half a smile melting down the side of my face.
I pause and daydream of a rhinoceros melting in the hot desert sand while sipping an ice cold cocktail that is unaffected by the heat.
Salvettra dances on broken glass with bare feet.
The blood drips back up his legs towards his heart.
He breathes in all the air in the room, leaving me gasping on the floor as his chest grows into a triangle.
Pablo’s brush removes the border of the triangle with a gentle stroke down towards himself.
“Adam. Adam! Where are you?” she barks at me as she bounces back out of my frame.
“Huh, what?”
“Wheredya just go?”

Witch Exiled

Witch Exiled "Bring this witch before me," states the queen. "Witchcraft falls under my jurisdiction," argues the goblin king. The queen looks over at her husband. Her head turns slightly, signifying the anger she is restraining. "Here she is," calls out a royal guard from behind the audience in the royal court. A pathway clears up as two guards emerge at the other end of the room, holding a witch's arms at her sides. She is slumped over, showing visible signs of physical abuse. "Bring her forward," orders the queen. The royal guards march her down the path cleared by the standing audience. Her feet drag as her body is pulled before the king and queen. "This is out of my hands," the goblin king states calmly. "I didn't know!" The witch calls out, barely lifting her head to speak. "You didn't know what?" Asks the queen, "you didn't know it's against goblin law to practice magic in the ro...

Bar at the Edge

Papoose Fiction: Edge of the Universe At the edge of the universe there lies a bar with no bartender and a barstool holding the only patron. The stool is wood, three legs triangulating down where the sheetrock hammered together into the shape of a bar is at its straightest, allowing for one person to lean comfortably forward for the remainder. Times were hard on Vegas Argo, he had to steal what he couldn't borrow. Off to war or more alarming is the sorrow that follows tomorrow's horrors as arrows burrow passed the marrow but lessened in pain because Sir Argo's thoughts tread in the shallow. Nobody's Fault But it's not his fault; it's what he was taught when his teachers were forced to slave all day just for a few scraps of bread and enough change left over to keep the perpetual cycle as vicious as possible but not enough for the herd to grow suspicious something auspicious has turned them towards a meal quite delicious but hardly nutritious; three times a...

A Witch is Born

I wish there was something more I could say to explain why I'm so closed off from the world, but I've never really had a close relationship with my feelings. When I was young, I experienced every negative event a child should never even bare witness to, let alone shelve upon her shoulders as a growing collection of future obstacles to personal success. My world was small, and it shrank every year as I continued to remove people from my circle of trust.
