Well, this was originally my short story - Solitary Man, but due to contractual obligations with Amazon, I can no longer post it on DA. Sorry! I'll post a link in the description below to a new, revised version available on Kindle.

for once
Cold
blackempty
like the cavern where crimson vellum once resided
Drenched in reticence,
your empty blue eyes do nothing
but freeze the blood in these veins
surrounded by phantoms,
i lie in the dark next to your fading silhouette
between sheets that hold so many memories,
they are empty,
like the chestnut eyes that bore into yours
And as the rain falls harder
as it falls faster
washing down the streets
through deep alleys,
down endless roads,
for
once
just

i pray it takes me with

Remover
She decided a young woman like her had no business being imperfect. Impurities had to be expelled from her life, no matter the cost. An universal remover promised to be her savior. It lived up to its commercials, doing away with the stains that disgraced her floor and some of the walls.
Would domestic hygiene free her from being flawed? Doubtful. This product guaranteed to exterminate any kind of filth. Could it go beyond the material things? She rubbed the substance on her forehead, and conjured as many negative thoughts as possible. They were recalled, only to vanish from memory a second after.
Satisfied? Not quite. Even the good recollec

Todd
There was a big fanfare when Todd came back. Even a couple of newspaper reporters showed up. It was only right I guess, what with him being dead for a year. At least I think it was a year. I mean, he was gone for eight and I'm pretty sure if a person is missing for seven years the government declares them dead or something. I know that his parents bought a tombstone from the place on First Street a while ago. They put it up in their family lot at the cemetery, next to his grandparents. I went to visit it after the funeral. It had his name and a little insc

Solitary Man by Graphix-Goddess
Finland's funniest comedian still can't laugh at himself.
This short story follows Veikko after his latest break-up. It's written with a great voice that helps the reader feel genuine empathy for the narrator. Although mostly a sombre affair, there are still plenty of heart-warming moments to make this suitable for all tastes.
Fires in Winter by DanielDGriffiths
Winter is coming.
A lovely piece of poetry with great atmosphere - pretty, flowing, and just a touch of something haunting. The lines simply roll off the tongue with a good pace and natural rhymes.
