A little Over Dramatic
Fiction Shorts word of the day: Paper
Tony was dead to the world, enjoying a rather raunchy dream, when he was ripped from his sleep by an unearthly scream.
He flew from his bed and frantically looked around his room but the scream came from the kitchen. He headed that way in a panic.
As he ran through the kitchen doorway, he noticed Angela standing at the kitchen sink, washing her hand under the faucet.
“What happened honey, do you need to go to emergency for stitches?” Tony asked worriedly.
Angela turned to her husband and smiled, “Sorry love, it’s just a tiny paper cut is all.”
This drabble has been written as part of the daily Drabble Drop challenge and today's random word, that must be included in the drabble, is 'paper'.
Wikipedia defines a drabble as follows :
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Porn Again-Prologue
Sweet oblivion. Pure, sweet, uncorrupted oblivion...that’s what she tasted like on our first night together, and I dined on her soul like a madman in the most beautiful prison in which there was no escape. Candace Rhodes was her name...’Candy’, as I liked to call her, and man did she ever taste like the sweetest candy on Earth. Fresh out of college, the employment boom in South Florida wasn’t so much a boom for me as it was a faint trickle; a stark reminder of the challenges of life in the Bush economy. Somehow, the dream of one day owning a nice, palatial home in Miami withered down to a modest 2-bedroom dwelling in the Victoria Park section of Fort Lauderdale. Still, those early years with Candace made it all the more enjoyable and special.

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.
