Never Trust The Giants
I was strangled at birth
Luckily
A woman released me
From the stranglehold
From the very threads of life
That had kept me alive
For nine glorious months
Within my womb with a view
Full board, and lodging
Live-in-all-found
All for free!
It was great
Until the day of eviction
Not only was i forcibly ejected
But i was almost strangled
As i left my demi paradise
That lay within a deep cave
Within a dark forest
So this is why i screamed
Not because of the woman
That was dragging me out
But...

from my story\Book of words chapter 3
Fairer is our world brighter than fluorescent.. We Light Elves have lived in these Ever Worlds through all times. Great fortresses were build beneath the ground to keep at bay our striding siblings called Black Elves. Dark are their veils of Nether Worlds. Veined in hillsides mists and mourning mornings. Each a being of their own. Many still are visible within sky lines, horizons, ley lines drawn ,intact within hollow trees. All are footprints of the giants who speak in dwarfed tongues Sun overseeing late light.
He remembered all as melodies from memories vaguely played tunes in...

Silent - Samantha
By the time I return to The Factory, the hall lights have come back on. I find Mel by the lift, fiddling with a fuse box, but there's no sign of Robert. I'm about to ask why Robert's upstairs on his own when Mel hears my footsteps, turns round and smiles. I nearly take a step back. The woman isn't Mel, just someone who resembles her, more in height than anything else. The girl, about my sister's age, maybe younger, has long dark brown hair and wears a blue top and pair of tight jeans. She has no shoes on. I would imagine she must be freezing.
'Hi there. You're new, aren't you?'...

Lunar Alchemy
In the night of darkness,
The trees get taller on a full moon,
Branches get longer than noon,
Leaves are greener with veins thick.
Darkness gets darker,
Moonlight yearns for blood,
Squirrels hide in their treehouses,
When the beast walks through the forest.
A blend of a wolf and medusa’s head,
Spitting lethal poison out of their hissing voices,
Standing on hooves of a goat,
Looking for innocent blood to cherish its soul.
Walks distances, delving deeper,
Thirst builds up like a snowball,
Swaying anything on...

Looking for innocent blood to cherish its soul.
Walks distances, delving deeper,

Secrets - Vow Of Silence
They say the bike race was my idea, that you and the others would have preferred to stay indoors that August Bank Holiday Monday. In the shade where it was nice and cool. But your mum agreed with me. It's a lovely day, she said, why don't you go out and play in the park before school starts again?
Except I lied, according to the evidence. I suggested the local park; that's true. But once we got out, I came up with the idea of going in the opposite direction, to Whaley Hill. Our parents didn't like us going to Whaley Hill, especially the reservoir at the top. They thought the hill...

It's sweet insight
"Good afternoon sir, welcome to the patisserie. What can I get for you"
"Hi, yes I'd like some cake please"
"Certainly, is it for a particular occasion"
"No no, simply to observe"

Even The Rats Comfort Her
Unlike many, she's happy, happy that living beings are in our house that's she's able to interact with. That she's able to see and smile at.
The little mouseys roam all in her home, but she's not mad at their presence. She's happy knowing something usually unwanted can be welcome by her. That her welcoming the unwelcoming makes her happy.
Because deep down inside she knew she was unwelcome. That there was no place made for her other than the temple she wants to create.
She wants to save the impossible because she was impossible to love.

The Song of The Siren
Her love is dangerous,
if she showed all her emotion,
every guy would be falling to their feet.
She's gorgeous yet mean,
but her cruelty
is innocent and life giving.
It is authentic
and free.
Not vicious and murderous
but sweet and innocent
like a little chihuahua
not getting their way
and calming down.
Her energy of love
is magnetic.
She is a Mew
getting away from
all the ordinary.
She can't be caught
yet her love
will be a memory
you'll never forget.
Alia...

I've Never Met Anyone Like You
Alia Lynch follows the school shooter into the bathroom. They haven't striked yet, but they will. She sees the suspicious bags they threw on the floor, but she's able to have eye contact with them washing their hands.
Now, she's entering. Entering inside their minds. All the lies they've been told, about how they were a monster and nothing more. Princess Alia defeats the monsters inside the girl's brain and clears her head and heals her forever.
Because Alia cares enough to not just save the hero but the potential villain.
The girl drops to the ground in...
