doubt is my companion

she thinks she understands

everything you’re thinking

she holds my heart in her hands

she tries to hold it gently

but she can’t help but squeeze

if you start to lose interest

her nails pierce, i bleed

i can hear her breath shaking

when it starts to get too much

the only thing that soothes her

is the feeling of your touch

a surprise kiss on my cheek

a gentle hand on my thigh

and when i catch you staring

51-100:

51. “Just--whether you believe me or not, pretend that it’s real.”

52. “That bad of a day, huh?”

53. “You know, telling me not to worry does not actually work.”

54. “We just got you back. We can’t lose you again.”

55. “I’m sure he’s having the time of his life.”

56. “This isn’t going to be some fun road trip--we’re hunting down God, after all.”

57. “We’re with you. No matter how much of a bad time you threaten us with.”

58. “I missed you guys.”

59. “I’m not here to fall in love, no matter how much I may be tempted.”

60. “I’m just trying to help you to understand!”

61. “. . . What happened to you?”

62. “Something worse than death.”

63. “I thought I lost you. Do you have any idea what that did to me?”

64. “You died for us. Don’t think for a moment any one of us wouldn’t have done the same for you.”

65. “You can’t stop me.”

66. “I just--I need answers. We all need answers. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

67. “And you just magically know what to do now?”

68. “None of what happened was your fault.”

69. “What happened . . . that never should have happened. Not like that.”

70. “Can you guys just give me a chance and listen?”

71. “Hey, guys . . . long time no see.”

72. “Oh--we’re not allies. And we never will be.”

73. “You’re here for answers?”

74. “I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of such a place.”

75. “We didn’t think you were going to wake up.”

76. “I have never been so relieved to be wrong.”

77. “Uh-oh. Looks like someone’s run out of energy.”

78. “Tell me what you want before I change my mind and kill you.”

79. “Sorry, sweetheart, but I don’t believe you have anything we need.”

80. “Is this some kind of trick?”

81. “It’s a right shame we can’t kill you. Guess we’ll just have to have some fun with your friends instead.”

82. “I knew you had something to do with this.”

83. “So, uh--what do you guys normally do when this happens?”

84. “Call came in a couple hours ago. Said they went outside to let out the horses and that’s when they found the body.”

85. “Keep your guard up.”

86. “Honey--my middle name is careful.”

87. “Are you sure you’re ready for this?”

88. “There’s been another murder. Recent, too.”

89. “You’re kidding, right? This is the biggest deal, like, ever!”

90. “I knew there was something going on between you two! How did I not realize sooner?!”

91. “Really? That’s your brilliant response?”

92. “I regret nothing.”

93. “I am so far from caring right now it’s not even funny.”

94. “Do you admit defeat, yet? Or do I need to kick your ass some more?”

95. “Why? Are you . . . scared?”

96. “You’re gonna walk away with a broken ego, sweetheart. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

97. “Are you gonna put that away or am I gonna have to take it from you?”

98. “I could have shot you! Are you crazy?!”

99. “What about you? You need sleep, too, you know.”

lonely in a bed

your voice in my head

at the end of the day

without a word to say

just across the sheets

a memory to keep

time would slow down

having you around

kisses firmly pressed

warmth in my chest

now the window’s open

fantasy is broken

eight days, nine nights

my yellow bedroom lights

a silence haunting

how do i speak 

without knowing which

words come next?

how do i say

what i wanna say

before i forget?

heavy hearted things 

i tiptoe around

i wish i knew how

to tell you i'm hurting

start a big conversation

but i'm not allowed

this brain controls

the smiles and tears

with wavering sincerity 

it kills, let me out!

my voice inside cries

am i strange that every time i look up at the sky

it takes my breath away?

i count myself lucky to see the sun again everyday

someone once looked up at the clouds,

like white gold paint on a canvas

they saw the sky, the moon, the stars

51-100:

51. “Can we just please go? I have a bad feeling.”

52. “Did you see that? It just--It winked at me!”

53. “Whoops--sorry. Am I interrupting something?”

54. “Let’s just take a second to think this through!”

55. “Am I the only reasonable one here?”

56. “Do not try me right now!”

57. “I’ve gotten so used to failure at this point that I’ve stopped trying.”

58. “I love that colour--it reminds me of you.”

59. “What’s that smell? . . . What did you do?”

60. “Ow! Shit--that stings.”

61. “If you would just shut up and follow me, I could explain everything.”

62. “Wait, what? You--a savior? . . . Honey, I’m sorry to break it to you, but you don’t look like no savior.”

63. “Just let me try! What harm can it do?”

64. “Are you going to finish that?”

65. “God--you give the best hugs.”

66. “Don’t stop now! It was just getting good!”

67. “Are you going to be okay? Do you need anything?”

68. “I’m sure my brother won’t mind any.”

69. “Let me go or I start screaming in three . . . two . . .”

70. “Easy, short stuff. Don’t get those new panties all twisted up on my account.”

71. “Wow--If I thought you were sad before, but this is just pathetic.”

72. “You want it? Beg.”

73. “Run as fast as you can and never look behind you. Those were her last words.”

74. “Everyone’s staring--what do you mean you don’t care?!”

75. “What’re you thinking about? You’re making a cute face.”

76. “Wow--I am really moved. . . . Now can we get the hell out of here?”

77. “And then you saw a man . . . dressed in all gold?”

78. “Why do you pray when you know he isn’t listening?”

79. “Watch out--get down!”

80. “Assassin’s beat Battle Mages any day. Hands down.”

81. “Yes, I heard you. And no--I don’t care.”

82. “Here--I’ll brush your hair for you.”

83. “I am not afraid of you. I never will be afraid of you.”

84. “Do you know the instance I fell in love with you?”

85. “God--look what he did to you.”

86. “You can forgive me all you want, but I’ll never be able to forgive myself.”

87. “Can you set an extra plate tonight?”

88. “Why are you here? You shouldn’t be here!”

89. “I can’t believe I didn’t figure out it was you for this long.”

90. “How did I twist my ankle? . . . Well, uh, see--it’s actually a really funny story that involves tripping over something important of yours . . .”

91. “Eat a bag of dicks, Dick!”

92. “Was that the last of the ice cream?”

93. “I could really use help right about now. Any day here, guys!””

94. “How do you not know how old I am?”

95. “Please explain to me why you’re covered in blood at 4 in the morning.”

96. “Whatever you do, don’t breathe!”

97. “Hey--so you wanna hear a riddle?”

98. “Hah! You were nothing then, and you’re still nothing now. How does that feel?”

99. “Don’t tell me. If you’re about to say what I think you are--don’t. Please, lie to me instead.”

your breath sinks into my shoulder

and carefully grasps my neck

it crawls to the base of my spine

and it paints me in a sweat

drink me or i’ll drown us both

in a coffin, we are bound

is this the tower’s pinnacle,

or are we underground?

your arms are tight, your skin is hot

so i know you’re more than dead

in the chapters of a horror story
