this is just,,, a rambly story type thing, partly about a good friend of mine, partly about me, I have some thoughts I wanna get out there

Neither of the characters r supposed to be us, specifically, just.... Thoughts

"It feels like we've both spent our entire lives desperately clinging onto the few this that will keep us alive, the cliffs edge, the railing on this ship, spirits of the wind, who fly by and leave us gasping for breathe."

The waves crashed, a spraying of salt water gently falling on the two figures, as the boat rocked.

"I can't tell if you're me, far in the future, having lost you and all the people around me turning to mist. I can't tell if I'm you, years in the future, when your grip doesn't have to be as tight"

In a blink of an eye, the moon rose and fell, the boat rocked, a storm just passed, the two figures still stadind eye to eye

"I wonder if I could live with losing you"

"I don't want to think about it. You're all I have on this rocky ocean, the only thing keeping me from being swallowed up by the sea. This place I stand is rickity, and I can't move from it, no matter how hard I try"

"I'll catch you if you fall"

"What if you're not strong enough"

"Im strong enough"

"What if I push you off the side?"

"I can swim"

A cloud formed overhead, a storm starting, the boat rocking more and more, the two figures completely still

"I need you"

"I need you too"

"What if I jump"

"So would I'"

A coyote howls in the bought, and the dinner remains empty of humans. Spirits drift in and out of it, hoping to find a friend.

Bright neon, loiud noise, and a person glaring at ypou. Everything radiates danger, and yet, it all seems right.

The stuffed rabbit walks, by itself, abandoned. Looking for hom.e.

[imaginationsuggestions]

I know you feel it. Moonlight running through your veins and stardust on your lips you kneel before her. It’s is ritual;it is time.

[imaginationsuggestions]

the feeling creeps out of the cracks in the mirror and curls around your head

[imaginationsuggestions]

The singers voice can turn the air into gold, and sound into diamonds

[imaginationsuggestions]

Your voice sounds like coffee, even if you don't like it. It sounds like cellos and pianos. Its sounds like you.

the signs as abandoned places

ARIES Abandoned gas stations, beholders of tumbleweeds and roadside tales, filled with dead fuel yet frozen in time, eyes on the passengers with their hands and hair out the window, haunted by old desert songs and engines revving behind it.

TAURUS: Abandoned bars, stools turned over, a ripped flyer shouting BABES BABES BABES hanging off the bulletin board, a lost motorcycle tire, glass shattered, and the spirit of hell still living somewhere inside.

GEMINI Ghost towns, at the base of old mountains, houses with shutters like eyes and doors like mouths, swallowing stories whole, convenience stores still stocked with stale bread, cabins and headstones still peeking out from behind fairy wood brambles, nature stretching into steel, ready to come alive with a shift of the wind.

CANCER: Abandoned motels, empty pools filled with deflated flamingos, the sign out front screaming VACANCY forever, each room a different anthology of guest book tales, smashed television monitors and a love note ( or goodbye note ) caught up in the rust of the honeymoon suite.

LEO: Abandoned theaters, stages dented with the ghosts of performances past, torn scripts scattered across floorboards in a mess of Playbills and shattered eyeglasses, broken lights and tattered dress hems, mannequins poised at an eternal act one.

VIRGO Abandoned train stations, cars sprayed in a kaleidoscope of graffiti, drifters still starting fires in some of the shells, grass growing over old gears, ghost conductors with no destination, rails intersecting at odd angles like flowers and bones.

LIBRA Abandoned campgrounds, rattlesnakes and desert blues, dead hot and forgotten, a shelled-out RV and the dry lake where the kids used to play, swallowing up broken toys and flat tents, showers crawling with critters, vintage t-shirts printed with campground bears promising that it’s still “the happiest place on earth.”

SCORPIO Abandoned amusement parks, soggy coaster cars paused mid-ascension, cheap thrills and screams still stagnant in the air, ferris wheels trembling in the wind, clown faces distorted and torn down the middle, a mascot head smiling out from the overgrowth.

SAGITTARIUS Abandoned renaissance fairs, an acre out of time, fake pirate ships swinging, fairy wings trying to fly, dead flower crowns tangled with bright ribbons and peasant blouses shed by the lake, empty squares and old stage buildings, Arthur’s sword caught at the entry, still waiting to be pulled.

CAPRICORN Abandoned toy stores, broken pinball machines, ghost clowns, and popped balloons, playing cards stuck to the floor, a crooked house of childhood horrors, teddy bears bleeding stuffing, and a funhouse mirror distorting the distorted. 

AQUARIUS: Abandoned piers, driftwood split down the middle, coastline the last alive thing, neon lights still calling Gatsby home from the horizon, but promising only the ghosts of mermaids washed ashore, tires and bottles filled with sand, dead trees spouting from old rocks, branches a wind chime of ripped dresses, forks, and seashells on strings.

PISCES: Abandoned waterparks, slides overlooking entire old cities, perfect for climbing, hoses and pools now scrawled over and used as skateboard ramps, kids climbing over the old towers and ladders in their bathing suits when it rains, pure want as their tickets in, yelling, “We’re still here, we’re still here, we’re still here!”

[imaginationsuggestions]

You run, through the forest, past the lake, next to the snowy mountain. You never seem to move, but things keep falling away from your view

[imaginationsuggestions]

If you find a sand dollar, put it back in the sea. In return it will grant you a wish.

The Pros and Cons of Being a Time Wizard:

Story inspired by a conversation with my friend @stardust-mage

"What's it like to be a wizard?"

The person speaking had a funny looking expression, confused and slightly nervous, but excited at the same time. Their hair was a deep purple, with an odd sheen that make it almost seem to sparkle if you looked at it out of the corner of your eye. Their T-shirt was a size too big, and their slightly torn jeans had golden thread roughly used to fix some of the bigger rips. They had three watches on their right hand, and five on their left.

"That's an odd question. Most people ask me for an autograph, or to take them to a better time line."

"Yeah well, I do want those." I said, fidgeting slightly with my hands "but I figured an interview would be interesting."

"Buy me a coffee, and you've got a deal."

"You're a wizard, how do you not have money for coffee?"

"College"

"Oh."

We sat at a table in the coffee shop. It was raining outside, and the steam from my drink fogged up my glasses.

"So.. You wanna know what its like being a time wizard? There's a few pros and cons"

They took a sip of their coffee, and leaned back.

"The pros being that my essays are never late, I don't have to sit through boring lectures, and I always get enough sleep. The cons being that I once woke up and tried to talk about flying whales, but I had the wrong time line."

"Time lines?"

"Yeah, tons of them. Time lines where plates don't exist, time lines where clowns rule the world and surprisingly, rule wisely and with pies."

"Oh. Is that it?"

"Yeah, trade secrets, ya know?"

They stood up, and stretched. Their coffee cup was empty, even though I never saw them take more then a few sups. They walked away, and I sat there, and finished my coffee.

To be continued.. :O

you get into the shower. the water feels like lava but your body is ice, and steam rises from the points that the water touches you. tv static flickers in and out of your hearing and a faint purple glow is coming out from the plug hole, but when you go to check it out your body doesn’t move. condensation trails endlessly down the wall beside you and your head pounds. you sway where you stand. endless amounts of time passes. when you step out of the shower, you’re someplace else, and you don’t remember a thing.
