An Unlikely Pair
By: H. M. Zike
She was a broken woman.
Dismissed and ridiculed by her peers.
He was a broken man.
Neglected and abused,
by those who should have loved him most.
She was a book nerd.
Quiet and isolated.
He was a wild child,
An addict with a juvie record.
She believes in love and peace.
He struggles to feel anything but anger.
She is repeatedly rejected by her blood.
He feels he has no family at all.
He could hear the words she left unspoken
She could see the emotions that he tried to bury.
She was fire.
He was ice.
They were an unlikely pair.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
