A Quiet Saturday
Buzz! My phone skitters across the countertop. Who's texting me now? The ding is extra loud because I'm listening to a podcast through my earbuds as I do the dishes.

Beep…beep…blip blip…beep…beep. The machine monitoring Sharon's vitals cuts through the heavy silence of the room. Louise sits by the side of her daughter, watching her chest struggle to rise and fall. She has been here before, sitting at the bedside of one she loves, waiting. First her father-in-law, then each of her parents took their turns moving into her home where she cared for them day and night until they passed. Then her husband, she laughs bitterly to herself at the memory of the damn pizza delivery he kept ordering every time she left his bedside. Perhaps at that point it was already too late for his fatty liver, but she still wonders if she would have had a few more weeks with her love without that damn pizza. It was excruciating watching him bloat uncomfortably and turn that sickly shade of gray, his mind slowly getting twisted around and confused as the toxins built up in his bloodstream. She never expected to live through that again but only a decade later, as her oldest son's liver succumbed to years of drug abuse, she sat lovingly at his bedside. She watched him bloat, turn gray, and lose his mind before finally passing away.

I see you at night within my dreams. You are the ecstasy and the fear. I want you and wanting you makes me afraid. To feel you close, to smell the cologne you leave behind on my sheets, to feel the ghost of your kiss on my lips.
Angel AdagioPublished 6 months ago in PoetsLattes and Love Notes
In the middle of a long forgotten forest, far and away from the corruption and development of humanity, lay a quaint village nestled in the middle of an abandoned clearing. The name of this village has long been forgotten to time; its people of here and now have been known to call it Pine Haven. It is home to all manner of creatures and beings, from fairies and gnomes to a very friendly Minotaur that teaches at the only school for hundreds of miles. The calm of the morning was broken as the sky, that was blanketed in thick, angry storm clouds, suddenly opened up. Heavy sheets of warm summer rain cascaded down and soaked into the packed earth of the streets. The denizens previously milling about the town center now dove under shop awnings and into their homes to escape the downpour. In moments the village square was seemingly deserted, save for a young woman walking earnestly through the square.

Day 58 The first note is a bloody mess on an otherwise pristine white wall, close to the body but far enough away you can’t help but notice it only when you’ve turned from the bed in horror. It’s so hastily scrawled it’s almost impossible to read, and the dripping really doesn’t help.
