Ariadne

Weekly Contest #226

*** Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who is the monster of them all? *** Solitude has been your salvation a thousand times over, yet in the poverty of words, you began to paint yourself... empty of words, devoid of dreams... desolate of love and cloaked in a mantle colored with hatred.

Weekly Contest #212

"Kiss me and take me somewhere beautiful... where neither of us will know who you are or who I am.. we will know that we are just in a beautiful place and we will kiss each other childishly. I will blush and you will smile beautifully at me like a young person without hope." *** Dear father, Life among strangers is getting harder and harder! We have to pay the rent and none of us is working! No one is helping us with anything. You don't know how hard it's been so far, hiding from you, not letting you know anything about him. Maybe it will s...
