[writing-again]

If I could kill for your robbers, I would.

Eat a heart.

My synapses, collapses.

Battered eyesockets bloody.

Emphasis enough?

Hyperbolic, pathetic, but true.

Truth being...

I cannot observe our moments.

Personify, perspire have persective of that.

I can, hold, it.

Feel it's luxury swell and break me

Then move on.

To the next one, wanting the old one.

I order make another!

Destroy the vapid, by paying for breath?

Suckle for permission.

But at least hold it.

I Love My Baby

I love my baby, but she got to go.

I love my baby, but it’s killin’ my flow.

I love her deeply,

I love her so,

I love my baby; but she got to go.

I’m under her thumb,

she keeps my heart under lock,

my soul is home by midnight,

and dancin’ I cannot

When I first saw her eyes,

my life was lifted up,

there was no illusion,

I’m fallin’. For your delusion.

So i’m packing the bags,

Kissed my baby goodbye,

I’m gonna find me a new life,

See you now, goodbye.

I love you baby, but I gotta go.

Gonna find me:

a dance,

a home,

some grub,

a bar,

you put the spark out,

and this has gone to far.

So baby our loves over.

 Keep the change.

‘Cocking It Up’ – Challenge 3.22

Well, my pieces are getting shorter. I’m getting sleepier. I’m getting tireder. But we’re on the last week. So it’s the final stretch. Today was a very lovely, simple piece, and I had fun creating a comedy version of it. I’m sure there were many options to go down. But I went for something a little different. The brief was about A pointing a gun at B. And they have to get their way out of…

'An Offer You Can Refuse' - Challenge 3.19

We’re getting closer, only 10 briefs left to go, I think.  A bit of a lazy brief, for the last three days it’s been a bit like this: 17. Write out a play, delete it, rewrite 18. Rewrite one of your old plays (not brief 17) 19. Rewrite someone elses play. All the same shit, so I didn’t follow this either, I’ve no interest in rewriting someone else’s play. So I made a short one about this very…

Standing with his feet square apart and shoulders heaving with deep breaths, Axel shut his dark eyes from the world. One by one the hairs on his arms thinned, his skin softened and freckles on his nose and shins vanished. His limbs shortened and his hair lightened to the youthful shade of deep raspberry. Where a nineteen-year-old man had stood, there now was a twelve-year-old boy. The sun had risen in a flux of time and the mansion glimmered in its former grandeur. Cream-colored siding and yellow moldings arched pleasingly into tiny steeples at the top of the gray shingled roof. The porch was stained an oat color and the door stood ajar invitingly.
