We sit in our little bottle of memories, throwing words like shooting stars, flaming meanings encased in easy metaphors. Phrases passed back and forth, each of us telling our own carefully fabricated truths to unravel the other’s. It’s all flourescent lights and streaked linoleum floors around us, a familiar backdrop for the last scene of our never-ending play.
It’s a little to universal, a little too cliché, so we’ll keep our little conversations to ourselves until the tables turn and the chips are pushed to the middle of the table. Another game of luck, something like destiny and that thing you like to call fate. You’ve torched enough of your bridges to gain a reputation, and I’ve always been blind in one eye.
Playing cards corners curl as the white turns to black and liquid fire turns the paper edges to little anthills of ashes. Again and again, until all that remains is the king of hearts and the queen of spades
uh….Sarah? ……………………………WOW. I’m here with an open mouth and rubbing my jaw after having read this.
Wow…thanks. It means a lot:) I wasn’t sure if it was too obscure, but I’m glad you like it:)!
Keep writing like this….and please talk to your dad about copyrighting this stuff. I am being serious. This is on the verge of huge.
Copyrighting? O.o That’s like serious stuff. Thanks, I’ll definitley look into that:)
Haha I couldn’t survive without writing, no worries there:)
it is serious stuff, Sarah…this stuff’s dynamite. I’m off to bed. Been beaten by some little low life in Chicago for the last 2 hours on xbox. Go talk to your dad ok?
Apparently all you have to do to copright stuff is post somewhere on your blog a copyright notice, which is on my about page now.Thanks for the idea:)!
This is pure genius. The simplicity, the imagery… I’ve shared your blog with many of my friends and we all agree that you ARE author material. Please never stop.
Wow, thank you:) That would be beyond amazing, to actually be an author. Thanks:)!
“Flaming meanings encased in easy metaphors” <— I love that
Keep up the writing girl.
