WDYS?- Drowning

You promised me you’d be there, to be a hand to hold.  You promised you would help me when I couldn’t face the world. You promised you would love me when I couldn’t love myself. You promised to help pull me from these icy depths. You promised me I wouldn’t drown in this deep, dark...

Mindful Monday

Is it Monday? I am descending into madness. Quite literally though not as drastically as it sounds. A few weeks ago, I had a medication shift. I am on some pretty serious and strong medication to keep me on the straight and narrow. So any shift, no matter how small has me in a tizzy....

FWOC- Parasite

Jen rubbed her swollen stomach in trepidation, she had been feeling sick for a while now, progressively losing her appetite and quickly expunging any food she managed to get down. Her skin was sallow, her eyes were bloodshot, and she had lost so much weight her clothes hung off her, except for around her waist...

FSS- Forewarned

Ross opened the fortune cookie that was delivered with his Chinese take-out and was shocked when he read the message inside telling him that his life was in danger and that he needed to leave the city immediately.

Mindful Monday

Hello Monday; Another new beginning. 🌞 I'm still a little hungover from the weekend, I was at a family wedding which was incredibly enjoyable, though my body is paying the price.

FSS- A place he hoped he’d never seen again.

As Kevin was boarding the bus, he knew he was heading back to the one place he hoped he’d never have to see again. Not a place of bricks and mortar but a cage of desperation and insanity. For years he had suffered and struggled. Had fought his demons in a bloody battle of wills...

FWOC- Defunct

Holden looked sadly at the screen. “268 due to depart in 7 minutes.” It was the last that would ever leave this station.  Ever since they had built the new bus garage closer to town, they had been rerouting all the old lines through that one instead and little by little, his position in life...

Mindful Monday

My life is chaos. I don't know if it actually is compared to others' lives... Why am I comparing? My life is chaos. I am lucky (unlucky) to not have an outside job; my family, my home, my therapy, my writing is my life. It is all I do from dawn til dusk, yet why...

FOWC- Impediment

“Darling, no, sit down, I’ll get that for you.”  Ella smiled thinly, sinking back into her wheelchair. “Thanks, mum,” It’s not that she couldn’t walk, she could technically get up and walk just fine, it’s just that she shouldn’t… What if she had a funny turn? Or A migraine attack? What if she fell and...

Simply 6 Minutes- Best Friend
