MurderVerse
Doris' Toof / Wall Street
Johnny sat staring out his window
Thoughts
Nothing in particular
Doris' toof rolled around in his mouth
His Soo Van Ear
That was funny, they both had a laugh over that
She had gifted it to him prior to her demise
After he slapped it out of her head
Now it rolled around in his head
He liked the sound it made when it clicked against his teeth
He liked how it felt on his tongue
Sexy little chicklet
A piece of hard candy that never dissolved
Johnny tried to sweeten the tooth by hiding it in the sugar bowl on his mother's kitchen table
It didn't work
He tried putting it in a box of Cherry Jello
Overnight
It was no use
The tooth like the woman was never going to sweeten up
He finally determined it wasn't the flavor but the texture
Smooth enamel
Sharp edges from where it had dislodged from her gums
The clicking sound
All a reminder of her
Doris

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
