she's barely an inch taller - but still taller - squinting at the horizon line and heaving tobacco smoke through resin coated lungs that should belong to a fourty three year old smoker, not an eighteen year old graduate she laughs the loudest when others cast glances and hushed whispers and never misses the chance to tell you she couldn't possibly give less of a shit she likes convenience store mints; the round white ones you'd find at the bottom of grandma's purse that tasted like dust and chemically sweetened perfume, and home she went to a school where "dyke" was spat like poison at her feet but knew exactly what to say when three

Poetry

Colouring In

Sometimes when I'm bored, I doodle in my head. I take up an imaginary pencil and draw leaves and flowers on the trees, birds in the sky, butterflies which land on my arms. I fill the sad world with colour. I draw smiles on people's faces. My brother was a soldier, but they sent him back when he couldn't shoot anymore. I draw him back his missing arm and a medal on his chest and make his mouth touch his ears at each end. He doesn't smile much, now, and he says they don't award medals for bad luck. I colour in the square, grey buildings of the city which fills my canvas as far as I can see. The library is green, like the plants I've seen p

Introduction: Character

First lesson about writing: Characters are what makes the story. Think about your favorite story. Ever.

That novel is, in its unabridged printing, thick enough to bludgeon a walrus with. It starts off pretty fast, but gets slow just as quickly. It's not a book for the short of attenti

Friendship

:bigthumb212608630: Today while driving with my Mom to a little party, we were discussing our excitement for the big move to Arizona (which will be at the end of March :happybounce:). She then started to talk about how she has told none of her staff at her job or any of our relatives about our decision to leave. She asked me if I had told anyone, specifically my friend Ashmo. I only have a small handful of friends that live here and that I actually talk to and hang out with. I told her that I have not told them yet . . . but that I had told many of my deviantART friends. She started with "I meant real friends...", but then corrected herself

Writers of the Revolution, April 29th

Sorry this is a day late. :noes: Featured WRITER UnspecifiedUnknown (https://www.deviantart.com/unspecifiedunknown) Featured by IndigoSkyes (https://www.deviantart.com/indigoskyes) I knew I'd adore UnspecifiedUnknown (https://www.deviantart.com/unspecifiedunknown)'s writing even before I'd delved into her gallery. Her words are lyrical, hypnotizing, and honest. Truly worth the read. :thumb290985068: Starve "within the depths of neglected minds to /be felt only by those carving graves/with stubborn, heavy fingers through false empathy. /in the wake of aftermath, we/remember the abstraction of our faith in humanity."
