Love has damaged me and I don't know if...

Love has damaged me and I don't know if I can ever recover. I don't know if I did this to myself, or was it you who brought out the monster in me. Maybe it was you. And you made me stronger and weaker at the same time. And maybe you did it on purpose... so that I can no longer live without you. Or even, die without you.

Talk someone out of suicide
What would you tell your child, friend, family member, etc if they came to you saying they were suicidal? Some people don't have anyone to turn to so let's give them a place for some hope. One rule: No negativity. Suicide isn't a joke and it's not something to be ashamed of or made fun of.

The End

Did you think death was not coming for you anyway? Honey, it's coming for all of us. Nobody's making out of this world alive! You think dying will ease the pain? Make it all go away? It ain't that easy! Death is not the end. It's the beginning of more suffering. Suffering for the people who love you; suffering for your soul. If you think you're already suffering too much, let me tell you this- life will change, dear... Death will not.

Reborn

I was only getting used to the discomfort once again, as I shifted to lie on my side and wondered if I was crazy; it was my third pregnancy and I could bet that it felt more like crawling than kicking inside me.

Regrets

I thought I was being fair

By saying what was true,

What was really in my heart,

The love I didn't have for you.

Everyday that we talked,

I wished you would let me go.

Find yourself another friend,

A lover, or even a foe...

And then you found her.

I wish you all the best!

I hope it's not your togetherness that I think I now detest!

Write a horror story in two sentences.
“The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there...”---Stephen King

What?

"Dad! You're here?" I stared in shock and glee. I saw him for real, sound and steady, right in front of me, five years after his death.

From the sky

Walking on thin air

Swimming through trees

Falling from the clouds

Into an abyss...

Wading through rays

Away from the sun

With the wind, suddenly,

Starting to run

Tumbling down the hills

Dancing with the green,

Finally under the heat

Dying with a sheen...
