Reviews and anything constructive :)

12 Years Ago


Standing, alone in the open. Defined in a blanket of snow, a figure curves aimlessly, stammering, struggling to the end. A mountain ledge, with a drop so high, it might as well be the distance of stars and now it looks oh so appealing. A faint shudder in tone brings the temperature lower. Yes, she's speaking again, speaking like a bell that never goes off, like a malfunctioning combat disk, playing the same thing over and over. Who cares, who cares who cares! This is what I say to myself in my head. I kind of live in my head now? Expressing the freedom I can't actually express. It's not mad I tell myself and thus I’m telling you the same. It's not sad either.. well not in my opinion anyway. You see I have these little self wins, these little.. rebellious statements against her. Her. She. HER. I don't like her. I don't love her especially. There was once a point when I thought I did, but no I don't. There’s nothing I love about her. Not anymore. You see it comes a time when, well, when being alone isn't enough anymore. And I’m quite an alone person. I would actually tell people that I preferred my own company. When people asked if I was single, I would say yes, but I like the single life! There are probably the same everywhere. Somewhat awkward people. High, leather swivelling computer chairs and cluttered shelves replace an atmosphere of sun and oxygen. I was never actually adverse to sunlight or air though.. it wasn't even the people that stopped me. I just preferred things this way. Pale face, warmth, a lack of vitamin D ahhh the joys. So snug you could say I had moved wombs, just with an umbilical cord of supermarket delivery and quarterly payments to the water board. But as happy as I was that is not where I am anymore, actually I didn't know where. But physical, now in this moment, This is it. This is my escape and I’m not taking any chances.

Oh my gosh I read this and was so confused!!! Then I realized I had skipped a few lines right in the middle. :) Nice writing, very descriptive, lots of comparisons to things living and non-living. This story goes on right? I think it should.
