@phsysic liked for a starter / ACCEPTING !
𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐒𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐃 / in the chassis of a vehicle. no blasphemy , wrist deep in the inner workings. oil and coolant stain hands , sour apple green , candy apple red , shadow tinged. the grease seeping into skin. the criss cross , sand dune lines of his palms. metal bodies and the left behind corpses of cars long past. it’s dark , the sun just now setting , autumn had crept up on the world , ripped the life from the branches , oranges and reds and the dark umber of the rotted earth. the wind in the junkyard smells of rust , of steel , of oil. he thinks as shadows swallow visibility , darkness devours his gaze , that this wasn’t the worst place to end up. KID IN A CANDY STORE ! say , where’s your golden ticket ? fingers trace hoods of vehicles , flashlight acts as dying light , wandering deeper into this cemetery. the graves are hap-hazard , the bodies , metallic: fuck-me red , fading indigo , sun bleached black so old it’s asphalt grey. he knows these corpses of course. ( could probably tell you a year , make and model , half blind and dying. ) forget puzzles , this is what he needed. once it’s fixed it’s done. released back into the wild. A BIRD FLOWN FROM OPEN HANDS.
boot meets tire , hand to door , oh , baby - doll ! beautiful , violent , vulgar and sweet as cherry pie ! it wasn’t his baby but it’d do , a twist of the wrist , a knife in sure hands and he’s in. the shift tsst! spark , the click whir jumpstart of a stolen car , the jumpstart of a heart. if hunting didn’t pan out maybe a life of crime was the way to go. ( after all , it had a better mortality rate. ) the moon was fat in the sky , shinning pale blue and milky through windows , bisecting the parking lot in pools of yellow orange street lamps and the half dark of nature. it takes him no time at all to notice the person in the back , to have a gun and a light flashed at them before he needs the breath to speak. “ looks like i’m not the only one with bright ideas. don’t s’pose you you wanna just look the other way ? “
