Weekly Contest #38
I hate it when people say that time flows like a river. It simply isn’t true. You can kneel down by a river, and watch it part around rocks and ripple when something falls in. You can reach out a hand and scoop up some water, and watch a small part of the river go still in your hands. A river is tangible. You can manipulate it. You can take a small pocket of it away and watch it go still. You cannot do this with time. There’s no way to watch how time works, how it curves around space and ripples with events.

Weekly Contest #37
It’s the dead of night. I squint and blink, waiting for my eyes to adjust. Rustling leaves come into view, as well as branches and stones and stars.

Fresh air and grass and stone brings me back to the image of an unbreathing chest. I don’t want to talk. I feel alone, but I like it that way. I do everythin...
Weekly Contest #35
Air that promised warmer times ahead rippled the fabric of my raincoat as I walked through puddles and over stone. It seemed as though no one was at the park this evening, though I couldn’t see why. Didn’t people understand that the hours between dinner and sleep were the best for walking? The sun seemed to whisper only to me, the wind cradling my movements after every step. The sky was lit up with every shade of orange imaginable, colour and brightness shining through bare trees just barely starting to bud with life. Sometimes I stoppe...
