Homo homini lupus

"Iron vertebrae are breaking courage in your shelter. It is not legitimate to speak while you are sighing. I understand."

The last drop of Bourbon stunned his liver. He spits out his final charm.
"My eyes are full of lemon drops while I speak to you."

Now the shadow is trying to escape. This man can't even dance the Moonwalk. Lame.

"You know that I get shaky when you look at me like that. Stop being so disgusted. Do you think that I enjoy being the King on a chessboard called Subsistence?"

His iris is now turning into a mosaic fragment of unbeaten illusions. 

"I could fall for you but I am still on the ground. "

The visage is whispering tranquility. 

" Don't you imitate my pattern, you cannot handle the kink of  being in the wrong puzzle."

Finally the enemy takes a bow. The pieces of the mirror are on the ground. He sees a reflection. It could almost be him.

The many facets of the human being what appears is not always that which lies beneath... Lovely word formation that sparks great imagery.Bravo!

Your writing style is absolutely beautiful in all of your works, and I absolutely love the feelings and emotion gained from reading each line of this piece. I love the realizations the subjects come to, and how I as a reader can find relations to these realizations. "It could almost be him" got me the most because I feel as though we loose ourselves sometimes, and it takes near break downs or falling apart to realize our changes. Just my interpretations. Great work.

Just being real... You've thoughts and the talents to express yourself. Don't get too lost in arcane wonderment that you limit your audience to the very ones you notice.

[Jeannette Lunete]

I will do my best to get out of the impasse. :)

"my eyes are full of lemon drops while I speak to you."

Stories of this length are my favourite kind, when they're like this.

Very nicely written! Such compact story-telling is rare these days. Not a word wasted. I'm too long winded for this kind of thing. You have a confident voice and clear understanding of your character. Impressive.
