Death Stories

death

Fragments of my life are etched upon my face; I've managed perverse tragedy with false dignity and grace;  Time proceeds incessantly, seasoned anguish lurks inside; Exuding the facade of strength though I sincerely want to hide;  Floods of tears drench my cheeks, desolation annihilates my heart; Fate reckons with my sanity as my soul breaks apart.

I was selfish in life but will be selfless in death A narrow minded boy, confining a soul of great breadth In lieu of flowers, make me seem philanthropic Make me out to be kindest, on sympathetic topic You've always known me best, my coin of a face How I growled in isolation, but smiled on velvet walkways In lieu of flowers, hide my dual ways Allow me only with the brightest smile, be portrayedI lived life in fine cloth,...

Angel Face, A Life Cut Short

Katy, my daughter, my Angel Face, my hero

Katy was truly a gift to me and I'd like to share with you who my Angel Face was.  Facts first ... Katy was a published poet by age 11, an accomplished artist, (the final drawing she was working on {though unfinished} is in my gallery), an honors student from grade 5 on, and despite missing her entire sen...

Grieve not for me when I am gone, I prayNor bring my works to mind, my work is done.My time is spun and I have had my day,Others soon will take my place in the sun.If epitaph you feel impelled to write,These simple words are all I meekly ask,He tried his best to always do the right,And serve with joy what’er the common task.No grand memorial do I require,Nor e’en a simple plaque upon a wall;To lasting fame, I never will a...

I wake in a cold sweat. The dream again. Will it never end, I ask myself. As I lay very still, my mind takes me back. Back some twenty-five years ago at the age of five. A small happy five-year-old. It had been raining and was a cold rain as it is now. I remember my dad picking me up and telling me mom had to work late, and we would get a burger for dinner. He had said he was very tired, and I should go ahead and eat. He...

Rise Of The Scourge - Prologue

The invasion begins...

Prologue Dimitri held his breath as he watched the dark phantom wrapped in a ragged cloak of an archmage fly overhead. He was sure Thael's invisibility cloak shrouded them from the spirit, but he dared not make a sound, even breathing, while the creature flew so close to them. Though the woods were thick where they ventured, the twisting grey-brown trees of the Shade Wood never seemed to produce a leaf, only sporadic bran...

The bloody handprint on the window- calling card of the wicked. Of the sick. Entering the house, he could see straight away that there had been trouble in the hallway, which was the first thing one saw when they entered the house. Long abandoned was the house, built in the early 1900s and occupied until the 60s, where dark legends had surrounded it from local youth with the intent to scare, and now some sick fuck had turn...

The Secret Life of Mrs Faulkner - Chapter One

How well do you really know someone?

Cruel World:He was vaguely aware of someone entering the room and the sounds they were making, how they were disturbing the peace he had created for himself, interrupted his little world and penetrated the barrier that he had built to keep people out. "Tom?" the female voice asked, though to him it sounded distant and far away. Go away, God dammit, he thought angrily, just leave me alone.
