Once
upon a time, in a kingdom of magical dwarves, enchanted slippers and
castles that could cause people to sleep a hundred years, a prince
was informed that he could never be a princess.
“They say that if you want peace, you
must prepare for war. What if you want war? What do you do then?”
“You tell everyone they are living in
the best country in the world. And then you sit back, and you wait.”
What the word needs in 2015: Chat
and/or quiz tv shows hosted by Daleks.
We
are sometimes more than our hashtags.
"I
don’t need the instruction manual for our son, doctor. I just want
to find the cheat codes."
Once
upon a time, there was a very hungry caterpillar who grew up to
become a very hungry butterfly – and that, child, is where the
first dragon came from.
I
am your terms, you my conditions. We are each other’s privacy
statement, and we both accept cookies.
Sometimes
I suspect my life is a one-man play where I'm not even the best part.
"I
know you wanted a brainbox dear, but the company is sold out so we
bought you a breadbox. We can store your brain in that, right? It has
its own twitter account and everything."
“I love you,” he said, just when I
thought he couldn’t hurt me anymore.
“Don’t you understand yet that
hatred is just love with it’s back turned away?”
“It’s not that simple.”
“It is with us.”
"That’s the problem. What if it
really is true that toddlers killed more people in this country than
terrorists last year?" And we both stared down at the crib and
wondered what we had brought into the world.
"I want to be you when I grow up."
"That’s nice, dear, but you
should try to be yourself —."
"No, I said I want to be you."
And she smiled and held up the scissors. "Mommy said you have
way too much skin, Granny, so I’m going to wear some of it now."
You used to be a poem I wanted to write
Before we fell in love; now you’re
only prose
'You’ve spent your time counting the
stars; I spent it wanting to compare our scars.'
That’s what I told you when really
all I wanted was to kiss you until our smiles matched our eyes. -

Bobby-Joe knew that the Conspiracy was
deeper than he’d ever imagined when he realized that everyone else
in the organization was really a plant by the Conspiracy.
Pro-tip: when you are giddy with
exhaustion and sleeping is just making you even MORE tired, do not
explain it to the doctor at the clinic by saying you blame the aliens
for abducting you for the past four nights.
After his sister was put in the
hospital for being schitzo – the doctors used other terms, that’s
the one his mom stuck with when she described her ‘failure’ to
friends – William snuck into his father’s wood shop and made fake
bluetooth headsets for every crazy person he could find, in the hopes
that everyone would think they were talking on a phone and not lock
them away.
"Only one in every hundred people
is a psychopath, which means the odds are pretty good our children
won't turn out like me."
You don’t buy Alpha-Getti anymore,
not after it began spelling out awful secrets about your parents.
You’re terrified it might reveal yours to you next time.
"The love letter you found in my
suit pocket wasn't for you."
You alone know that there hasn't been a
human boy born in the last five years.
You are the fire in which I burn.
Six Word Story:
I’d write six words for you.
I love the weird times when you just
blank on words.
I wrote 'nest of bees' and spent almost
ten seconds trying to recall the right word to use instead of nest :p
Sometimes all that is left are the
things we leave behind.
"I'm sorry, but we can't enter
into a relationship. I found your writing blog, and I will do many
things in my life. But I'm not going to become a poem for you. Never
that."
They say that you
become the thing you pretend to be. And so I loved you until it
worked. I swear it worked.
Do
creationists believe the world is only 6000 years old because it
means there is less for them to study in history class?
Christians
tend to name kids after Jesus (as Joshua, sometimes, depending on
country) and after Mary, various saints etc. as protection against
evil spirits and so forth, historically.
I
wonder if Satanists did the same thing? Luke as short for Lucifer,
and so forth.
"Well,
we know Beelzebub isn’t a common name, but we were going for
classics…"
Today loving you feels like an act of
terrorism.
