Don't expect any sympathy. None from any smile or expression.
Riding up the blue rock was interesting. Is there comfortable with
nobody here? Snaps to make sure it's working.
Back on the page, victims lined up
for the chance to declare how it's never
their fault. Why don't you just vent? The roundtable's
attendants have everything here as I
grin at my reflection dance the disease as
time flies; there should be a better way to do this.
Three men in lab coats agree. I remember ranting
underneath and not letting it show. Special?
Taking shots of mountain fog is healthier. The
endeavor presented here is dying. How to fix?
Fairly weak but deeply felt.




Next week's seven phrases/groups of words:



-mellowed color patterns stitched into its side
-must be a couple of numbers missing
-not answering the question will keep me here
-she misses you
-take it from its roots
-sound travels, even in here
-finally fell asleep

Six Word Theater

Six Word Theater


Click here for last week's entry.

Inspired by the challenge Hemingway undertook to tell a story
in six words("For Sale: baby shoes. Never worn.”), I attempt
to polish my skills by telling a six-word story or phrase each
Wednesday.

Feel free to "continue the story" or start your own.

Today's entry:


Small town...
metropolis...
Europe...
still lonesome!

Put off living until you're dead. It's emptier being with her
than being alone. Party of one in my head. Don't wait
for permission perfect weather in these times is no
fucking guarantee of anything. Its quiet friendship
contracted under duress makes a huge emotional
mess of everyone around you. When she thinks deeply
I smell plastic burning. Better than turning
eye contact forbidden during his rant. The
music stuck in his brain marches on. Come and
keep me warm is all you have to say. In the end
it's all up to me. Driving off a cliff is alluring.
Hopefully "I'll have a cup of your coffee" was
what I think the voice in the woods said. Whisper
softly in my ear if you're going to threaten me.
Verbal sugar. All bullshit. Asphyxiate

aurally while holding your breath and leave me
in a metal room with only mercury to drink. Goes
down bitter. Afterwards you don't care. They
say they're your friends. They all do.
You can't see behind a mask until you jump off
the edge and just trust...nothing and
everything are conspiring against you. Wait for
the beep and get back in line. I lost my
place, wasting time with a purpose.
