Happily Never After

Weekly Contest #52

I never thought much into why my husband-to-be cared so much about his appearance. I guess I always figured that was just the way he was as a person. I remember all the hours I spent banging on our bathroom door for him to hurry up and finish his hair , because I would be late for work if he didn’t get his arse out the door now!I brushed off his vanity as self-love, and was grateful I had a man who took care of himself well.

A Simple Task ft. Anxiety

Weekly Contest #49

The constant flickering of the fluorescent lighting overhead was slowly but surely giving me the mother of all migraines. Distracting myself didn’t work this time. My eyes danced frantically from poster to poster. The whooshing in my ear didn’t seem to fade. Thu-thump; it’s as if the ground shook with every beat my weakened heart gave. Bile burns the back of my throat. What’s going on? I blink. The eeriness of the room is making me claustrophobic. The light now looks like shards of a kaleidoscope. Have I officially gone mad? My lids are pres...
