ding-dong dead

Someone knocked on my door.

When I answered, I didn't see anyone, which was strange.

So, I shut the door.

And when he knocked again, I shot him within range.

Curiouser and Curiouser

The rabbit hole beckoned me.

And curious, as I was, I fell in, wonder struck.

But now I'm quite worried.

How will I extinguish this curiosity that holds me tight?❋

Psychotropic Blockade

He couldn’t stand schizophrenic drugs.

He found they dulled the sharp edge of his creativity.

Prescriptions roadblocked his true intentions.

Now it’s impossible to write poems in lovers’ spurting blood!

Wait...

I was wrong, you know. There was something last night I forgot to tell you. It was so very important! Will you hate me now that I still can't remember?

Breaking

I think I'm losing it.

Before I'd skip happily, thinking about the wonders of life.

Now, it's nothing like that.

I sit alone on the floor staring at absolutely nothing.

Loaded

The gun is already cocked.

Tears escape one last time, as the barrel touches her temple.

Her fingers clasp the trigger.

Was this a tragic ending, or a new beginning?

Oh Baby

It happened while she worked. 

One tenacious sperm from the previous night reached the egg.

Sparks and flash in vivo.

Two sets of genetic information combine into a new life.
