The Anatomy of EmbraceStrip

down to

skin and bone

Brittle joints snap
Fingers creak and bend
Humerus, radius
ulna; extend, reach, grab, pull,
encircle. Phalanges flexing.
Tendons pull taut under paper skin
Heart pulpatating behind sternum
Lungs expand; contract underneath ribcage
Scapula and clavicle tense to draw towards
Cervical vertebrae dip; cranium bows
To nestle between neck and shoulder
Tense arms ease out, loop loosely around
fragile backbones, ribcages, chests
Hands hold tight
Fingers stroke, clicking down an old, bone-dry spine
Hammering heart

slows; lungs exhale

softly. Just breathe

A Beautiful Lie"Are you ready?"

"Yes." The angel clad in simple white robes sat placidly in the ornately carved wooden chair in the center of the room. Her wings were folded neatly against her back. Her feet were bare and her silver-blonde hair unbound.

The floor beneath her was white marble, and pillars of the same material were holding up the elegantly vaulted ceiling. Tall windows graced the walls behind her and to her sides, flooding the room with light. Outside, the sky was a deep azure blue. A bird sang a sweet song, contradicting the harrowing experience that was about to take place within the white room.

"This will hurt. A lot. Are you sure you wA Beautiful Lie by *LensReflex
LostI've decided.
It's time to put my jumbled musings down on paper...
Then maybe my life will start making sense.

Inferior... inadequate...
These words staring me down
Stabbing at me like poison daggers

I don't know anymore.
Maybe it's just these goddamn teenage hormones...
Doesn't make it hurt any less, though.

I write these poison words on my skin,
Marking my insecurities on pale flesh
Dripping with crimson life, writhing like snakes

Pretending someone can come and save me from my path of destruction.
Trying to forget all the hurt inside I've tried so hard to hide from the world,

DisenchantedAs the drip was inserted into the vein on her forearm, she hissed in pain. The attending nurse just smiled sweetly and assured her it would be all over soon. It was a lie when they smiled and said you won't feel a thing.

She turned to the figure standing next to her. He smiled encouragingly at her and held her free hand, his grip tight. He told her to be strong, and it would be okay. It was the third of her twenty six chemotherapy treatments since she had been diagnosed with Stage Three Leukemia, a little over three months prior. She had been sixteen, and he was seventeen.

They had been together since the tender age of eight, pledging that Disenchanted by *LensReflex

Dirty Dishes Part 7It was just like any other normal evening you and Gilbert had shared in your apartment – after classes, the two of you had an early dinner and mooched in front of the television for a few hours to unwind before having to psych yourselves up to get started on whatever projects and class assignments either of you had accumulated during the course of the day. But something about that night just had you feeling sort of on edge.

You were getting antsy, having been cooped up in your apartment ever since coming home from the hospital. Gilbert was playing the over-protective mother hen and wouldn’t let you so much as lift a finger, lest Dirty Dishes Part 7 by *LensReflex
Cabin FeverThe thunderous roar of the rain and cracks of lightning illuminating the sky outside were nearly deafening in the stone corridors of the old castle. The storm pounded against the windows, rattling them in their panes. Stray droplets of water had managed to work their way through the centuries-old masonry, and dribbled down the walls to collect in damp puddles on the floors. Candles fixed in cast-iron brackets flickered in the slight draught slipping in through the gaps in the doors. Overall, it was not a day that had Anna in high spirits.

Mischief ManagedYou knew it wasn't going to be a pleasant day from the moment you woke up.

For starters, your flimsy T-shirt and shorts was no match for the sudden sub-zero temperature in your room. You had woken up bleary eyed and confused – hadn't it been the middle of Autumn the day before? And after hearing the mischievous sniggering in the hallway, you had a pretty good idea who was behind freezing the water pipes to your shower.

Mumbling muffled curses into the thick winter scarf wrapped around your neck, you climbed over a mysterious snow bank that had suddenly decided to drift in front of your bedroom door. The rest of the hallway was snow-free, thMischief Managed by *LensReflex
PrussiaxReader: MercenaryThe tavern was old – older than most buildings in the ramshackle town. Probably the oldest, considering it hadn't been completely demolished – just systematically repaired from time to time, as the need arose. The front porch was partially singed in places, riddled with old bullet holes in others. As you walked slowly up the weathered stairs, they creaked loudly underfoot, as if groaning in protest at another young bounty hunter entering the tavern to take up another potentially life-threatening job.

If the stairs could talk, they'd probably gripe about how another young life was being wasted on the great money-trail.
