The color
It’s the color of my heart when it explodes. And not in the kind way. It explodes after years of your goals and ambitions leeching onto the back of my mind. I never expected to drown so young with chains around my voice. It’s the same color of the hearts people draw next to their … Continue reading The color

Future
You turned to the sky and asked what color it was. I said the sky resonates with the beasts inside people tired of the world dragging them down. The screams that go unheard.

Words becoming reality
“Does this sound right?” I asked, highlighting a paragraph in the Word document. Ethan leaned diagonal toward my laptop. His hand stayed by his chin as he always did while thinking. “As they rounded the corner, the portal came into view.” I shuttered. It was always strange to hear my written words out loud. “The … Continue reading Words becoming reality
