Poetry

parasthesiaand i guess i should have said i drilled this
cavity through my chest for you; you hid
in my mouth instead. there will always be you
holding my hand protecting me from
monsters in the dark worse than the ones
inside of us. goodbye
is not a word. it is the way
you will not meet my eyes when i
tiptoe back through eggshells and phantom
heartbeats. i guess i should have said
i don’t know the labyrinth of myself. i
should have mentioned the pinpricks
on my skin where you injected
yourself like a vaccination.  i should
have told you that your eyes remind me
of a watercolor sunset and your hands
are anchors and you are always warm
and i am tired of shivering. i should have
warned you that i’ve never loved anyone
as much as a prescription. i should
have held you closer to me, i should
have held your pieces tighter, i should
have carved a bigger hole.



The use of line breaks and punctuation allows this piece
to flow masterfully. The writer strings you along through the piece,
forcing you to read again and again to fill in the
blanks that are left from the first time through.

Nightmare Paint by Certified-Daydreamer


Nightmare Paint is seamless from beginning to end.
It sends a chill up your spine and leaves you gripped with fear.

Message in the Mirror by lachandelle


This two-sentence horror story will put chills
down your spine--and make you double check
that your door is locked!

the devil's walk by herebewonder


A terrific piece of micro-fiction, which manages to add in
sudden plot twists and dark humour in 110 words.
The writer has many more great pieces like this,
all painfully unappreciated.

Kettling is a beautiful piece of prose that
pulls the reader in from the very first line.
