I Will Not Cry - Writetober / Inktober #9

I Will Not Cry – Writetober / Inktober #9

Precious

I will not cry.

I love my daughter so much. I Miss walking with her. Her holding my pinky in her hand. Her being both curious and afraid of everything the world has to offer and me being the one to teach her and to protect her.

My heart hurts when I think about it.

My chest aches when my heart hurts.

My eyes get teary when my chest aches.

I can feel pain in my teeth when my eyes get…

If I Could Be Like John Carter - Writetober / Inktober #8

If I Could Be Like John Carter – Writetober / Inktober #8

Star

If I Could Be Like John Carter

I take off my clothes. I stand outside, in the cold night air, lit only by the moon. I lift my arms. I stare up into the void of space. My eyes set themselves on a star. The star is so bright. It’s color changes from white to red to blue to yellow. I want to be there. I want to be on that star. I feel weightless. I stretch my arms out as far as I can and I am…

I COULDN’T GET OUT OF BED - Writetober / Inktober #7

I COULDN’T GET OUT OF BED – Writetober / Inktober #7

Exhausted

I COULDN’T GET OUT OF BED.

It was awful. There was no reason to. Everything outside was disgusting and everything inside bored me to my core. I couldn’t think of anything to do, so I didn’t. I was so tired. Tired from doing nothing and being nothing. How could something like this make one so exhausted? I lay in bed and pass time by cataloging the pain that runs through my body, in my…

Droolin Johnny Doe - My 1st Lovecraftian Story! Writetober / Inktober #6

Droolin Johnny Doe – My 1st Lovecraftian Story! Writetober / Inktober #6

DROOLING

Droolin’ Johnny Doe

The John Doe at the Miskatonic University Hospital in room 233 had been there in a coma for so long, that calling him simply, John Doe, felt strange. What the nurses decided to do instead was call him Johnny. Johnny Doe.

Johnny had been found unconscious in the university library. It seemed that he broke into the library in the middle of the night, the next morning,…

Chicken – Big Dumb Red – Writertober / Inktober Day 5 Written on Day 11 :(

Chicken – Big Dumb Red – Writertober / Inktober Day 5 Written on Day 11 😦

Big Dumb Red cock-a-doodle-do’d that morning, like every other morning, and woke Harold up bright and early. Harold had a routine that he followed every morning. He would get out of bed, cuss out loud about something that was aching. His wife, Francine, would roll her eyes, only when she was awake enough to be annoyed by…

Spell - Writetober / Inktober Day 4

Spell – Writetober / Inktober Day 4

SPELL

Abe Rosco wasn’t always crazy. Like most people, Abe’s descent into madness was more gradual. It happened later in his young life, little by little each day, until he was twenty-nine years of age. At that point the gradual maturation of his insanity was thrust upon with such force, that it nearly killed him.

So, what happened during Abe Rosco’s twenty-ninth year that made him the way he…

Roasted – Writetober / Inktober Day 3

ROASTED

Eden collected the poisonous chestnuts from the bowl on the end table and lined them up near the flames in the fireplace.

“Are you going to poke them with a fork?” Helen asked, with venom on her tongue.

“Of course not, you idiot,” Eden said through gritted teeth. “That would defeat the purpose.”

“I wouldn’t put it passed you,” Helen sneered.

Eden pretended to ignore her and lifted a…

Writetober Day 2: Tranquil

TRANQUIL

I am finally calm. It seems that my whole life all i wanted was peace and quiet, but for some reason, I always thrusted myself into these situations and life choices that made the peace and quiet a far off goal. I remember saying to myself, quite regularly, I’ll work on the peace and quiet as soon as I’m done with so and so, etc.

I was able to finally get away; whether it was of my own…

Poisonous - Writetober / Inktober Day 1

Poisonous – Writetober / Inktober Day 1

POISONOUS

My head was shaky. I couldn’t remember where i had been and why I felt so nauseous. As I flipped through the images in my mind of the events that seemed the most recent, none of them made any sense. The pictures of my hands reaching out and grabbing things from different tables and cabinets went by so fast that the montage became a disgusting animation that made my stomach turn and my…
