I've been taking part in Flash Fiction February.

Wasn't sure if I'd publish the stories or not, decided on Substack. #writer #fiction #flashfiction

The #pain in her eyes as he confessed made him hard.

He'd planned what to say, engineered his words for maximum damage.

Watched her face turn. That hollow look of devastation does more for him than sex ever could.

By the time she uttered her response... He'd already forgotten her name.

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 3 is #pain

"After great pain, a formal feeling comes –
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs –
The stiff Heart questions 'was it He, that bore,'
And 'Yesterday, or Centuries before'?"

'After great pain, a formal feeling comes', Emily Dickenson

To sell the #Soul implies they had one.

What remains serves something older than empire, hungrier than ambition.

Things demanding tribute:
Islands.
Basements.
Thresholds where witnesses become accomplices and questions die unasked.

#Vss365 #poetry
Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 2 is #soul

"Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don’t believe I’m wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone."

'Alone', Maya Angelou

my eyes hurt, my soul hurts, my eyes burn; with firm hands and sure fingers I flipped a thousand switches and I'll flip a thousand more; lights off, lights off, till there's nothing, no more; the light gone, my eyes work, nothing to see; no shadow, worth it; no more shadows

His #shadow detached on Tuesday.

By Wednesday, people crossed the street when they saw him coming.

Eyes slid past. A sudden fascination with phones.

He's become the thing you step around, the truth you refuse to see. An aversion.

Present but inconvenient. Human but ignorable.

#VSS365
The #vss365 #prompt for Feb 1 is #shadow

"my selves go with you,only i remain;
a shadow phantom effigy or seeming
(an almost someone always who’s noone)
a noone who,till their and your returning,
spends the forever of his loneliness
dreaming their eyes have opened to your morning"

Some places exist only for those who know the door is there. The #Sooth, I call it. A quiet fold in the world's fabric, like a hidden room in the attic. No monsters or drama. Just stillness dense enough to hear yourself think. You find it by stopping by remembering silence has architecture.

A low pitched hum
Felt more than heard
As your bones thrum
A vibration submerged
In a blood curd they swum
Those ominous words
Spoken by someone
Purred as they blurred
The past to come

#vss365 #thrum

The endless #thrum.
everyone selling something or someone,
begging for validation,
no dignity left.

Always hawking a beat from their chest.

Makes my skin crawl.
Promotion of fools.

On a completely unrelated note,
here's my film trailer: #VSS365

You #obfuscate your heart,
yet like moon’s silver edge,
your longings wander
the seams of nightfall,
before writing yourself across my skin.

Like stars peddling memories,
you dust me in your fragments—
half-formed notes of warmth
that dry on my heart
until shadows swallow you
once more.

I've learned to #obfuscate what's missing. Smile when they smile, frown when they frown, say the right things at funerals. Nobody notices I'm just playing human. All so desperate to believe the performance. And the thing about masks? Wear them long enough, nobody asks what's underneath. #Vss365
Dear Friends,

Here’s to another day of writing!

Every explanation is an arrow from the #quiver.

You keep firing, adjusting aim, trying different angles. None of them land.

Not because your aim's off. But because they've built a wall and called it a personality.

Your arrowheads: logic, reason, reality. Fail... yet you keep firing.

Hello Word Weavers!

It’s the one that justifies
Our daily lives
And backs us with #quiver and arrows”

His attention began to #wane around "synergistic solutions" and flatlined at "paradigm shift." The VP kept talking: "circle back, touch base, leverage core competencies." The words meant nothing, the sentences meant less. His eyelids were concrete. Twenty minutes left. He might not make it.

We're on the #cusp they keep saying.

In reality we're just two dogs barking over the fence, working ourselves into hysteria over an enemy we can't see.

Nobody's listening. Everyone's screaming.

When the gate opens, it'll be blood or cowardice.

Unable to see that we're all dogs here.

He built the AI as a #ruse, fed it data on what women respond to, let it handle his Tinder.

Worked perfectly. Zero matches became a thousand. There was one flaw. Turns out algorithmic charm doesn't transfer beyond text. The dates were disasters... until he implanted the chip into his skull.

"So you worked with the victim?"

"Jessica, yeah."

"Tell me about her."

"Didn't know her well. Barely spoke. But she seemed cool, independent. Nose ring, rose tattoo."

The detective wrote something down. Didn't look up.

He'd let that one #slip. The tattoo wasn't visible to just anyone.
