Broken Blueberry Blondie by tiredraven, literature

Literature

Broken Blueberry Blondie

You talk to me like I don’t understand, like I never did, like I’m wasting my time sitting here and watching you. It’s not a waste of time, though, kid. I’m watching you so you don’t leave. I’ve watched a lot of people come and go over the years, not the least of which were your parents. You can’t go missing with them. I know I don’t really know you anymore, but you’re sitting, staring at the wall, and looking so lost I can’t think of anything else to do but sit here with you. Your seventeen years read much longer on your tired face, worn body, dusty mind. When you open your mouth, it is usua

Rhode Island by tiredraven, literature

Literature

Rhode Island

The History of Rhode Island, according to me Roger Williams: "Hey. I don't like how intolerant my fellow Puritans are. I'll just settle down here, in the middle of nowhere, befriend the Indians, and make my own squatter colony!" Other people: YAAAY! *rebels of all sorts, mostly "crazies" who didn't like Jesus/predestination, flock to RI and have a party. They have lots of babies, no established church, and they ALLOW JEWS OMG THIS IS SO LIBERAL THE WORLD CAN HARDLY STAND IT.* Fastforward: Becoming states. RI: No, I dun like bein' state. You make me follow dumbshit! other states: No, you gots ta be state or we eet j00 'cuz you failure

Seconds for Dancing by tiredraven, literature

Seconds for Dancing

For about sixty of the 2,522,880,000 seconds you will spend on this earth given the average human lifespan in America, you’ll be reading this personal credo. In it, I’m summarizing the lessons learned in roughly 520,344,000 seconds of my life. And while there are certainly many conclusions I could draw from those five hundred million plus seconds, what it comes down to is this: there will be over two billion seconds in most of our lives, and we shouldn’t spend any of them complaining that’s not enough. It’s said constantly that life is short, and even measured in seconds, maybe that’s true. Right here with this

Ragdoll by tiredraven, literature

Literature

Ragdoll

I feel like a ragdoll with loose threads with stuffing coming out a bit at the seams. I want everyone to leave me alone. My brain is fuzzy and I am seeing things like I'm not wearing my glasses. I want everyone to stop telling me it will be ok. Naomi is there trying to comfort me in every way she knows how, but we have gone years and years without ever having to deal with death, and now here are the deaths all at once. Two grandfathers, an aunt, and now a friend have gone in less than a year, and neither of us know what to do about this one. Somehow friend problems and witnessing huge fights and grandpas and the doomed aunt finally dying and

Fishing

Sittin' on a lava rock Starin' at the sea With a fishing rod in my hand And you right next to me. Your famous bait Floating in a bucket Filling the air with that not-so-great Smell, all to lure 'Da Big Kahuna.' The Steal-Bait Fish Stole the mixture Of bread and tuna and Guts and something gooey. 'Da Big Kahuna' Didn't come that day, I think the smell Drove it away. It's a little different now That the fishing days are gone. But Grandpa, You will always be My fishing partner. You will always be Scaling sheer cliffs To get to the best spots. You will always be cursing the Steal-Bait Fish, And you will always be chas

Heaven by tiredraven, literature

Literature

Heaven

Heaven I had an idea about heaven when I was younger. And really, who didn’t? It’s part of natural curiosity, part of trying to make something like death—something so intangible—real. It’s part of understanding the world around you, it’s part of the first taste of what we Don’t Know. All children have some idea about heaven. I suppose my view wasn’t all too uncommon. Where are angels? Where is God? Well, they’re up. It seems like a perfectly reasonable answer when you’re young. God and his angels live in the sky, up in the clouds where we can’t go. And when it’s time, God and his a

inside

inside i am inside where it's dark and serene. the Words surround me, the punctuation defines me, i am inside a Book. i am inside where i hear the rustling of turning pages. where i often hear only the cranking of a brain; Processing. i am inside the Ears of a book. i am inside where i see their eyes. their faces fold together, but their eyes stay. they read through the meaning and see what is hiding— the black of their eyes Judges. i am inside the Eyes of a book. i am inside where i taste the blackness of the ink— where the swallowed pages get stuck in eager mouths, overwhelmingly Flavorful, like too much

Packing by tiredraven, literature

Literature

Packing

It’s that time again, the time that we all dread, and we all know it’s coming, but somehow we think if we just close our eyes and cover our ears, maybe it won’t happen. Of course, it’s a silly thought, because it will happen no matter how much we wish it wouldn’t. It’s not so much that Dad doesn’t like going to trial, it’s that dealing with stressed-out, stretched-thin, I-don’t-have-time-to-eat-or-sleep, I-must-be-thinking-about-this-case-at-all-times Dad is so hard to live with. Maybe this isn’t what Mom and I should be thinking, but whenever he pulls out a suitcase and announces he’s g

Sex-O-Matic Venus Freak

0 min read

Emma: I'm working on a play right now. To keep microphone packs that the actors wear underneath their clothes from getting sweaty, we cover them in condoms. That's 20 condoms a show. So every few shows, someone has to go to a rite aid or whatever and buy like 100 condoms. And people have competitions to see what the funniest/most shocking thing that you can buy WITH the condoms is. So far the winner is "100 condoms, ten batteries, chocolate sauce and a teddy bear." Yeah, I love my conversations. Especially since this conversation started with snow, moved onto being a grocery store slut that needed protection at 7-11, and ended here. Well, is

What I Like About You

Chica tagged me in both of these, but one of them was a longlonglong time ago. ... Whoops. YAY PLANES. 1) First, list all your OC's by first name so we can see your list of all your wonderful OCs. 1) Aimica 2) Adam 3) Noah 4) Lucy 5) Charlie 6) Sarah 7) Sadie 8) Pete 2) Who is your favorite OC? ... Okay, see, because I'm odd, it's a tie between Noah and Sadie. Who couldn't possibly be any more different if that was my sole goal when developing them. XD 3) Who is your least favorite? Pete. Pete was on-the-fly, so he's strange and underdeveloped, even in my head. 4) Who is your most developed? Noah, for sure. Noah has an intense
