My Lioness Flickers Between Serengeti Moonbeams
My Lioness Flickers Between Serengeti Moonbeams
Our African vacation starts at a luxury hotel in Nairobi. But I pine for a photographic safari into the Serengeti. Over breakfast, I break some news for Jane. “Hey let’s try this on for size. Jane, I want to take you on a safari into Tanzania. Maybe we’ll have an adventure like in a J.G. Ballard novel.”
She says, “You’re so crazy, but truly we could face off with a pride of lions looking for supper. The signs ain’t good darling. The continental breakfast bar at this hotel is more than enough for me. We can go to the...

Secrets - The Drive Home
It's still early. We could go to see a film. What do you think?'
'I want to go home.'
'And you're sure about that?'
No answer.
'Okay, but say if you change your mind,' I say. I get into the car. 'We can go anywhere or do anything you like.' I reach over to help fasten his seatbelt, but he tenses, so I back off.
Poor kid. He must be hurting so much. Robert acts as if his mother never existed, refusing to talk about her at all. I don't blame him, really, although the extreme reaction concerns me. Like what do we do about...

Song of the Gypsy (I am Evil)
Song Of The Gypsy
By Robert C. Ray Jr.
1)I feel her blood squirting between my teeth. Bones splintering. The taste of her life force and sound of her screams were intoxicating. As I sucked she fell limp. Her trachea? Collapsed, and the arousal became so pleasing, so utterly thrilling that I almost choked. I became supercharged with an undeniable energy. The taste, the screams, what does all of this mean? I only lurk in the moonlight. The song of the Gypsy echoes mysteriously in my dreams. I disappeared into the shadows as her soul left her lifeless body. I am evil.

Entering Mortal Kombat
Alia Lynch,
the girl with murderous rage
so dangerous
it could wipe out the world.
The murderous rage
gives her the energy
and the strength
to destroy
all the abusers
in the realm
she created
in her mind.
Their fate becoming
a vegetable forever,
a symbol of
what her fate
would have been
had she stopped
believing in her voice.

Change the Locks
scatterbrained,
feathers and pecking,
thoughts quick,
frantic checking.
the door is locked,
footsteps approach,
sweat sliding down,
a creeping roach.
It looks in your eyes,
you have no disguise.
knob turning,
knee hitting the wood,
still locked in a trance,
be understood.
one-click,
two-click,
three-click,
done.
time standing still,
yet persisting forward,
the door is now open,
you are corned.
a question is asked,
yet you did not hear it. ...

Very Close Encounters!
I was once propositioned by an alien
She was purple from head, to toe
I knew this, as i think she was naked
That's why i think she was a female of the species
Also, she had very long eyelashes, on all three eyes
How i ended up in the company of aliens
I can't quite fully remember
I was merely walking down a long, and lonely
Dark country lane in the early hours
Earlier that evening
I'd spotted something unnerving
In my local take-away
I was so horrified, i fled from the take-away

Confined: Close Scene
Author’s Note:
Sarah, Confined, Scenes
At one point, I was blabbing on about how our situation was like that song, Close by Nick Jonas. How “space was just a word made up by someone who’s afraid to get close.”
He said he was not afraid of anything, not even death.
Like I said, and I will say this a million times, I should have taken this a hint, a sign of romantic disinterest.
Hell, I should have just shut up in general and made this into what it was going to be- a beyond soul-gripping fuckship.
Like Kesha sang in her Blah, Blah, Blah song, “Don’t be a little...

Confined: Daddy Wasn't There To Save Me scene
Author's Note: Hey guys this is a scene from my memoir, Confined. To explain it a little bit, this is something that takes place early in my friendship with J or Jason. I invited him to my car one while we were at work as parking attendants. I just wanted us to sit more comfortably, but something about it didn't feel right at all, and I couldn't understand why.
Here are important questions I want answered or critiqued around:
1. How do I insert this in the story? Should I tell the story as I've told it before, like nothing is wrong and then tell this later? What is a...

Secrets - Robert, Aloof
Lunch with Mel. Read of the newspapers.
Quarter to three. I set off to collect Robert from school. The other kids have gone. Robert's standing by the whiteboard with his teacher Miss Lyons, who greets me with a warm smile.
'We had a good day, didn't we Robert?' she says.
The boy nods and clutches his bag.
Miss Lyons tosses back her light brown hair and gets ready to leave. She's in her mid-twenties, pretty, with an open face and green eyes. 'I'm very confident about Robert,' she says. 'He's made a very promising start. I'm convinced...

Confined autofiction memoir scenes 0
Author’s Note: Hey guys! This is my memoir, Confined. It’s about a girl named Alia (who is me, but it is explained why she is changed in very minor aspects) who wakes up in an inescapable place that mirrors her being trapped in the past. All because of a man who she “loved.” This is a tale of a growing obsession, the blurred lines between fact and fantasy, and more. Which brings me to my last point… I don’t know if I can honestly do my two fictional novels that I had in mind (this includes Equidistant). Because it doesn’t represent reality, and as a person with mental illness, I don’t know if...

Hopeful Thoughts
A little can of hope keeps me going everyday.
I take a sip and all my problems go away.
It's filled with positive thoughts,no fears.
That goes down my throat and erases all my tears.
It's like a happy delight.
Not having troublesome thoughts at night.
Does this delight come from above?
The one thing that heals my heart.
Is it from another part of the world?
Or is that not the right word?
When I'm sad,I take a sip.
Of positive thoughts and desires.
When I feel troubled, I take a sip.
And I...
