With a trembling hand, she touched his face, touched the birthmark that flowed from the corner of his eye to his neck. She knew all the names they called him. But he wasn't #ugly , he was a work of art. She didn't know if she would ever convince him of that fact. #vss365

I broke the #language , sir. Really? It was so simple once I figured out they were using literary elements. What? We knew there was a rhythm when they spoke. So I started to look at it as if it was poetry, that's when it clicked, how they build meaning into the words. #vss365

He sat at the end of the bench, head in his hands. The other team was #celebrating a state title. Coach motioned to him to line up to receive his silver medal. His chest hurt, not from the medal around his neck but from the goodbye he was trying to say as a senior. #vss365

She noticed he was always #last in line, but didn’t seem to care. He would watch the rain on the windows, or talk to some imaginary friend. The other kids weren’t ignoring him, he just let everyone go first. Today she would walk with him to see what his world was like. #vss365

He crashed onto the edge of the driveway. Shook from traveling back from a #nebula in Orion's belt. He couldn't stand, his legs weak. His head spinning from what just happened. He heard God's voice fill his soul with a word. But he couldn't remember it now. He wept. #vss365

The flowers started to #wither under the moonlight. She knew this was the place! As the pieces of the flowers were taken away by the wind, the ground revealed a manhole cover with an intricate design of swirls & petals. She opened the book at the page she dog-eared... #vss365

There is #beauty in destruction, in falling apart. What? What are you talking about? He took a long swig of his beer. Leaving a small amount at the bottom. I mean, look around us. The dullness of the chatter, the smell of age. If we are not beautiful, than nothing is. #vss365

He placed his book back in his bag. He considered himself a modern day #mage . He felt contempt for everyone here. They all were so ignorant to the deeper aspects of life. He watched as a couple held hands, a parent chase a child, a group of older women laugh. He frowned. #vss365

They laid facing each other. His fingers walked over the #crest of her bare hips. She placed her hand on his cheek, the stubble rough but reassuring that the moment was real. The world outside was falling apart, but this was peace, this was love. She pulls him close. #vss365

He #tied the blue balloon to her wrist, even though he knew what would happen. She smiled. They walked hand-in-hand for a while. When he felt her let go of his hand he knew. He turned to see her floating up to the sky. She gave a small wave, but her eyes went to the sky. #vss365

He had been walking for an hour, the streetlights the only witness to his despair. A beat up #taxi pulled up beside him, slowly keeping pace. Hey, I don’t ne There was no driver, but he could hear Hank Williams singing, so lonely I could He paused, holding the door handle #vss365

I wish I could tell you #everything will work out, but I can't. The lines of fate are only clear until your next choice. And this moment is a choice. She laid a token on the table as payment. A gnarled hand appeared quickly & took it. She decided to leave as he laughed. #vss365

They followed the path as it took a sharp turn to the right. The grass was tall. Where is this scenic overlook? I don't know. The trail opened up to a #gnarled tree in the center of the vista. They sighed, Let's go. They turned only to see the tree, again. #vss365

He sat on the bench next to the shoreline of the lake. His #recovery was going slower than he thought it would. He tossed pieces of bread into the water, but there were no ducks. The bread floated for a while, until it started to disintegrate, like his will to move. #vss365

This isn't working. We already have seven of them. I know, but it's not working. Just listen, maybe an eighth #deadly sin would get things back on track. I mean it is a nice even number... An even number? Really? I think it would just speed up the chaos. #vss365

They had to #eat . It was late, the streets were empty. They covered the alleys & side streets. Nothing, not even a homeless person was out. The news had frightened everyone. The sound of a car engine stopped them. They left the car running, blaring music, at a red light. #vss365

The silence of the night woke him. He turned to his left to see what happened to the fire. A giant grey paw was covering the whole fire pit. Slowly he followed the fur upward to see an #amarok looking back at him. The corners of its mouth turned up as if to smile. #vss365

They both wanted to #discuss the state of their lives, but it was 10:38 pm, the house was finally quiet. They didn’t know it would be this hard, this lonely. They kissed goodnight. He moved to her side, wrapping his arm around her as they spooned. They fell asleep quickly #vss365

He took a breath. Let the weight of life compress his heart. Placed his headphones over his ears then pressed play. His #passion was his words. The magical creation of thought with strokes of ink filled his veins with light he needed to keep the darkness from his eyes. #vss365

They had their arms out wide, #spinning in wobbly circles, bumping into each other. Their laughter flooding the spaces in the playground, ricocheting off slides. As everyone stared at them, they could feel their hearts healing, this was their daughters' favorite game. #vss365

He rushed in, locked the door, then leaned against it to catch his breath. He looked down and knew he had to #change his shirt. He threw it in the trash, then went to his closet to pick out a new one. He decided a polo would be better for the next step. #vss365

She was known as the book #fundi . For a hefty price, she would transcribe a book from memory. She found it interesting that most of her clients were from the younger generation. Maybe, just maybe we have learned something, she thought, remembering The Fall… #vss365

He wanted to #save them all, but after 45 yrs the tide never turned. He remembered the day he stopped a bank robbery & recognized one of the criminals. He had pulled her from a house fire when she was 10. He locked the chest with his cape & other tools, then buried it. #vss365

He stood, a statue in the flood of humanity flowing on the sidewalk. A few seconds before a man, who looked like his uncle, bumped into him. When he looked up the past flooded his system. The #trauma of the shadows cast by his night light when he was 8 stopped his heart. #vss365

The students were being #silly . She stood at the whiteboard trying to keep her anger at bay. They didn’t know but their zest and laughter were a stark contrast to her future. It was colon cancer. And it was in her liver. Their joy was a reminder that life didn’t care… #vss365

How did it go last night? She pondered the question for a few seconds. He had the #charm of a frog! Nothing against frogs, I mean their cool and all. I like the color green, but no person should actually show their tongue as often as he did. What? #vss365

Let me put this in #context for you. The demon opened the fridge. Somehow you got out of hell. It lifted its three clawed hand in a stop motion. I know, you don't remember anything. Administration is still trying to figure this out. The demon drank straight from the jug. #vss365

It was hard to #spell the words when they seem to fly apart in his head. It was like watching a dictionary turn into confetti. He didn't understand himself. He loved reading but put a pencil in his hand & he froze. He had so many verses in his soul that no one would hear. #vss365
