... she'd been crying all night. Overwhelmed by her life-or lack thereof. Nothing had been going right- for YEARS now. Living in the big city meant nothing to her if she wasn't living her dreams, and she hadn't been. As of late her life consisted of-work, dog, home. Every day. Like clock work... and she was beyond tired of it. The mundaness of her life was the cause of her tears tonight. She couldn't help but shed a few for her nonexistent social or sexual life either because, what are those? ...after wiping her eyes and running a bath, she did what she normally does on these internally painful nights-she called a guy, who dropped off a girl, who'd keep her company through the night... and then some. The guy wasn't cheap, but she knew his girls were worth every penny. She gave him 150 and he nodded his head in appreciation as she closed and locked the door behind him. Turning to look at her treasure, she smiled- the first in several hours...
...lights out, candles lit, and a hot bath awaiting them, she returned to her guest in the living room, approaching almost nervously to the couch. Placing various toys on the table, she adjusted her silk robe and leaning over, anxiously began...
...this was always her favorite part-the first opening; the aroma of the particular girl- always different, always pungent, but definitely worth every penny of her meager check. She took her between her thumb and forefinger and raised her to her nose.
"Jesus,"
she says, a smile spreading across her lips... She's frantic now, rushing to get her ready and into the tub- practically drooling with the need to inhale her...
...she isn't delicate as she grinds her; pressing her heel into the top of the cylinder toy until her guest is reduced to nothing more than fine particles...she withdraws; arranges; and rolls her between her fingers. Her tongue slips between her lips to moisten her fold...
"Perfect."
...the scalding bath has turned into a comfortably hot one as she settles into its depths, her fingers laced around her companion. She pauses to admire her, only to interrupt the silence of the room with a quick flick of her thumb...
...with puckered lips, she covers her and her counterpart, finally relishing in the taste of her-and of the TASTE of her...blueberries. Fucking blueberries!! She smiles against her, feeling her in her lungs, her head, her veins. She exhales. Rests her head against the back of the tub...she stretches her toes and smiles and inhales again...bliss.
...who knows how long she'd been there-her companion temporarily gone, the incessant banging on the door, and the uncomfortably chilling water suggested long enough. She struggled to get up from the tub- her limbs heavy and numb, but she managed to do so without too much effort...or fail.
"I'm coming!"
She shouts. Wet feet slapping against hard wood floor.
"Mrs. Thomas,"
she says.
"Hi."
She smirks, averts her eyes, pulls her robe closer to her front and the door closer to her back as she remembered her companion...Mrs. Thomas shakes her head.
"I heard you crying sweetheart, and I don't know what's going on, "
"Mrs. Thomas,"
"But if you're gonna smoke pot can you at least open a window?!"
...she nods her head and bites her bottom lip.
"Yes ma'am."
"Get it together sweetheart. "
...she giggles and steps back into her apartment...

New Year’s News
Tumblr media
Well, it’s 2020, and that sounds a bit like we should be living in a sci-fi novel. But, to past generations, we pretty much are the the stuff of Science Fiction! Who’d have dreamed of a computer small enough to fit in your pocket that would also allow you to access the entire World Wide Web?
But, I digress. While I won’t promise any blogging resolutions, I can say I’ve finally gotten some of my…

Nap-time Nightmare
The child mercifully slept through the entire argument, and the frosty glares they had been shooting each other ever since. She remained nestled comfortably in Derek’s arms letting out the occasional soft snore. She finally awoke to the barking of their neighbour’s dog and let out a soft whine at the sudden state of consciousness she found herself in. “That damn dog again? Goodness sakes it’s almost nine… oh, hey look who’s awake?” Derek’s eyes shone as he gazed at the baby, who only whined for a moment before beaming up at him. Josh was perched at the window glowering at their neighbour’s backyard. “I think we can’t raise a noise complaint until after eleven… oh, is she awake? Good, the instructions said she was supposed to eat dinner around five, but it’s probably fine. I’ll go warm the bottle.”
As Josh darted from the room the baby gazed around, taking in her surroundings. The living room was a perfect blend of both men’s personalities. Derek’s prized vintage record collection lined the bottom shelves of their bookcases, with Josh’s computer manuals carefully organized on the second shelves. Glass figures were, mercifully, in a china cabinet, along with several cherished photos. Cords dangled from their various electronics, of which there were many. Expensive earbuds were carelessly lying upon Josh’s desk, something that had irked Derek for days. Soft throw pillows were carefully placed, giving the room a pop of colour to make up for the neutral paint tones. The baby took all of this in, but understood the significance of none of it. One would not expect her to after all; she was in fact… a baby.
               Derek placed her gently on the floor, gathering her soft playthings around her and proceeded to scroll through his emails. He was expecting an important one, but he made sure the baby had toys. It was more than Josh would have thought to do. The child cocked her head to one side as she watched her uncle stare at the small glowing rectangle in his hands. She glanced around at her own toys, none of which appeared to be glowing and made her way toward the couch. Digging her fingernails hard into the Italian leather she roused herself to her feet and strained to see what might be so fascinating. A sharp yell caused her to fall back to the floor in shock and she began wailing.
               “What is it? The baby is crying again? Why is it crying again, did you drop it?!” Josh’s screechy voice emanated from the doorway. “No I- it- she… was standing! Like, straight up!”
“Oh.” Josh waved his hand dismissively. “Yea she does that. Melinda told me she started scooting along the edge of the couch last week, it’s no big deal.”
“No big- but it- BABIES CAN’T STAND UP!!” It was Josh’s turn to be amused by a freak out.
“Honestly Derek, you act like you think babies just crawl until they’re supposed to go to school.”
“They don’t?!” Josh shook his head dubiously.
“She’s expected to start walking pretty soon actually. Bring her here, I have the bottle.”
               If you’ve ever been tasked with caring for an infant you will know you have to warm their milk slowly, and test it before giving it to them. This is an important step. This was not, however, a step which Melinda had remembered to put in her instructions for childcare.
               “Why is it screaming?! I gave it the bottle!”
“I don’t know! Let me try…” Derek reached for the bottle. “Geeze!” Milk droplets fell to the carpet as the bottle tumbled from Derek’s fingers. “That’s hot! How hot did you make it?!”
“The instructions say to heat it to 98, so I put it in for 98 seconds. That’s what it says.” Derek frowned thoughtfully. “Well that makes sense I guess but-“ He took the infant into his arms and rocked soothingly. “That was clearly too hot… we best let it cool. There there… shh….” The child continued to whimper for some time before relaxing into the warmth of Derek’s chest. “You go on and play honey… I’ll show your uncle how to warm a bottle.
               Derek, of course, knew little better than Josh how to warm a bottle as the men would soon discover. But while they were busy attempting to boil milk their charge was enacting experiments of her own. A loud crash brought both men back to reality when it was followed by a piteous, piercing shriek. Two left feet appeared to be possessed by both as they stumbled into the living room. The disaster that overtook their eyes would make a person think the infant had been unattended for several hours, instead of minutes.
More tiny claw marks had appeared upon the couch. Three of Dereks precious records had been tossed carelessly across the room, one of them was smothered in a body fluid of unidentifiable origins. A manual had found its way from the carefully organized place it had resided in and was in the center of the room, missing various pages. A laptop was dangling precariously on the back of a desk. Various cords lay asunder of where they should have been plugged in and lastly, an expensive headset was on the floor in the baby’s lap, the baby herself was propped against the cracked glass door of the china cabinet where several glass figures shook back and forth.
As if in slow motion both men clamoured toward the wailing infant, breath coming in short gasps, panic shining in their wide eyes. Derek clutched the child to his chest while Josh immediately set about checking her head for bumps or scrapes. “Is she broken? Did we break her? Oh god, we’re so toast Derek…” Josh moaned as he ran his fingers over her scalp, her peach fuzz hair soft beneath his touch. The infant continued to cry as Derek murmured to her, but Josh let out a sigh of relief as he found no scratches upon her.
It took several minutes of rocking before the sobbing subsided to hiccups, and neither man spoke, save Derek’s comforting murmurs. They gazed at the chaos a few short minutes without supervision had resulted in and met each other’s eyes. “Derek… I know you want to adopt but-“ Derek shook his head. “I know… we have a lot to learn first.” A collective sigh of relief was had, shared by the infant whose hiccups subsided. A small smile crept across all three faces. “I’ll watch the baby… you clean up this mess. Then you watch her and I’ll warm the bottle.” Josh nodded in numb agreement.
The remainder of the evening went reasonably smoothly once they found a children’s channel on their cable package. Josh’s head pounded with the sing-song melodies for many days to follow, but the child was entertained at least. It was roughly one in the morning when a knock on their door signalled the return of the primary caregiver. Derek was half asleep as he yanked the door open and immediately began the word vomit of how their night had gone. “But it quieted down when we found a program which appealed to its core drive and the suspicious noises have stopped now so I believe it will be operational from here on out.” Melinda blinked as she gazed around their living room and her eyes fell upon the baby, sitting bolt upright on Josh’s lap eyes glued to a colourful dancing animal on the screen. “Why is she still awake?”
Derek frowned in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, I told you guys to put her down at like seven…”
“We did. On the floor. That’s when all the chaos happened.”
“No no… put her down. Like, in the bed.”
“Why would we put her in the bed?”
“So she could sleep?” Both Derek and Josh frowned in confusion. The baby started giggling and it seemed as if it were at their incompetence, but honestly it probably had a lot more to do with the animal falling over on the television. The words escaped both men in unison as they slapped their foreheads simultaneously. “You never said we could put it in sleep mode!” Thus, a lesson was learned. In many ways a computer and an infant are not alike, but both do best when their sleep mode is properly engaged at regular intervals.

“Loki!” I stormed into our shared room. “Why are there dead guards outside of out room? Did you murder them?” Loki without looking up from his book mumbled. “No, I didn’t murder them. I accidentally knocked them unconscious forever, that’s all.” 
“Loki” I growled out. “Come on Love.” He stood up and placed his book on one of our bedside table. “They won’t know it was me.” I scowled. “How are you so calm after this Loki?” 
“Please my Love, we will just say they fought valiantly to protect their king and queen.” 
“I swear Loki... if we get caught I’m blaming you.” Loki chuckled. “My love, you love me too much to do so.”
“I hate you so much I love you.” I mumbled placing a kiss to his cheek.

Twitter stories 1
Sit on the pavement, can't feel my legs.
Keep my head bowed, can't see them pretend I'm not here.
They never have anything on them.
She comes over with her boyfriend, gives me a sandwich. As she leaves, she cries.
I've nothing left to cry.
When I'm gone, they leave flowers, candles and letters on the bench where I slept.
When I'm gone, they all have something on them.
#shortstory
Pointed ears, fine silky wings.
Dwelling up in trees, next to lakes.
Caring for flowers, carrying pollen.
Chasing the large iron boxes on long iron rails.
Always unseen by tall folk.
Societies appear, people fall out.
Wars fought, times change.
Always unseen.
#shortstory
The tiny faeries looked like moths, the grown ups kept them away from their children.
They'd keep the windows closed, with gems and wards on the table.
They told them they steal children's dreams and give them nightmares.
The children grew to believe the lies.
1/2
#shortstory
As adults, they kept the tradition going.
The children who heard the faeries' words, became artists, saviours, agents of change.
Still the grown ups kept them at bay.
2/2
#shortstory
On the wall, a painting
The room in which you stand
The foreground, a murder
Behind you, a killer
#shortstory #shortstories
On the table, a dolls' house that reminds me of home.
Through the window, I see myself as a child, sitting by myself at a table.
On the table, a dolls' house that reminds me of home.
Through my window, myself at the end.
#shortstory
I'm the only one left alive, the city lies abandoned.
All I have is a dagger and a shield of wood.
I hear the crunch and rustle of slow moving forms, their eyes shine between the trees.
I've nowhere to go.
There is no one left alive.
#shortstory
We shut the gates and stand atop the walls with bows and oil.
There's no wind, but the edge of the forest shifts.
Nobody finds our remains. We join the darkness in the woods.
We go and find the next city to fall. They close their gates and stand atop the walls.
#ShortStory
For #TommyRobinson.
He went walking, day after day.
It didn't go well, to his dismay.
Covered in milkshake, day after day.
At dusk he sat, full of woe.
Always thinking, why don't they know?
If only they could see,
what only I can see.
Day after day.
#shortstory #Poetry
They all went on TV to win money.
The masses cheered as they fought to the death.
Their families watched in horror as one by one they fell.
The winner smiled for a moment, then succumbed to their wounds.
The prize money went on a funeral.
#shortstory
I hear their moans as they drag their steps across the fields at night, the awful cries of the cattle they devour alive, the flames from the lanterns they knock to the floor.
They claw at the window, silhouettes in orange.
These are my final words.
#shortstory
The large house stood empty, and the locals said don't look in the mirrors.
In each room, a tall shape with a velvet curtain.
But, don't look in the mirrors.
Behind the velvet, the cleanest glass.
Just don't look in the mirrors.
1/2
#shortstory
When you pull back the curtain, the mirror is a thing of beauty.
You have to look in the mirror.
Then you see the same room, behind a velvet curtain.
Now you wait for them.
Will they look in the mirrors?
2/2
#shortstory
We sit and watch the tide rippling on the pebbles.
I hold out my hand, a small cloud appears and droplets land in my palm.
"Nice." He says, leaning back on the bench.
I hear a smash, the house behind us is half consumed by flames.
1/2
#shortstory
"You conjure fire?" I ask.
"Nope." He raises his hand and closes a fist. "Look again."
I turn to see the flames gone, the house whole.
"Timetravel?" I ask.
"I place images in your mind. A house, a fire, a beach, a bench, the tide. You and me. A #shortstory."
2/2
When I woke up, it'd gone, along with my memory of what had happened.
#shortstory
The shopkeeper never owned a cat, but every day he fed the stray that came around.
It ate the food he left, then sat by the doorstep and watched the tree line of the forest along the road.
One day, the cat no longer ate but still sat and watched.
(1/2)
#shortstory
Year after year, it never came when called but simply kept its vigil.
When the shopkeeper retired and passed the business to his children, during his funeral round the corner, it continued to return.
To sit and await a darkness unknown.
(2/2)
#shortstory
We met at an outdoor table. We were over before the leaves fell.
She told me it wasn't me, it was her.
I insisted it wasn't her. Soon, it really wasn't.
When the snow came, my footprints stood alone.
#shortstory #shortstorysunday
On the wall, a painting
The room in which you stand
The foreground, a murder
Behind you, a killer
#shortstory #shortstories
The man chose the workhouse over a shop doorway, for food and shelter and warmth. There, the master banished a boy to the streets for losing a finger.
In the night, the man found the master and made him into next days stew.
(1/2)
#shortstory
Standing on the gallows, the man saw gentry arriving to witness his end. To them he said, one day you will be all we have left to eat.
By his side, the boy with a bloody finger and a stolen watch.
"You missed a good meal".
(2/2)
#shortstory
There were two sages; Tawny and Andrew. For miles around, people would heed their words of wisdom and truth.
Every week, people would ask: "greetings, is this situation a utilisation of prejudice and abuse of power?"
(1/2)
#shortstory @yoisthisracist
And joined by a guest, the sages would speak; sadness, joy, sighs and laughter, by the end of which, all who hear are all the wiser.
On Odin's day, clear your mind and listen well, and you will hear these words of lore.
#shortstory @yoisthisracist
Our hearts are numb with pain and grief,
But prayers are not the answer.
Stand up, unite, say no to hate,
From now and here on after.
#ChristchurchMosqueAttack #Islamophobia #poetry #hopenothate
We got it from a second hand bookshop in town, its words describing our very actions, with pages left blank to change reality.
I found him dead, the book lying open, the price of greed.
1/2
#shortstory
They'd never believe my story so I wrote in the book and stepped in front of a train.
We disembarked, together again.
2/2
#shortstory
Using the remains of the dead to cast spells on the living, got him expelled. Now he wanders the cities, looking for trade and hunting his resources.
#shortstory
We agreed it was for the best, then walked to get the train. We said our last goodbye, and never looked back.
#shortstory
You can hit the wall, you can hit me. You can fix the wall, but I'll never fully heal. The wall will be here long after you hit me for the last time.
#shortstory
Sitting in silence, a jar of ashes on the window sill. You and me, we're a photo on the table, I'm sitting in silence.
#shortstory
I saw a flashing 30 sign by the side of the road, so I turned my music down to 29

"the sky would be safer than the ground"

Tumblr media
It’s official!  Runestone, Volume Six was released during the final days of February, so here is a live link to all the work of the undergraduate student contributors and student editors at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The title of Volume Six, “the sky would be safer than the ground” represents the message of hope the editors collected into this volume.  I am honored that my story,…

Kitchen Calamity
The hour is oh thirteen hundred hours. I have surrendered all hope of peace with an unrelenting enemy. The sounds of warfare fill the air and I begin to wonder if I shall ever sleep again, if I even survive this battle. My beloved has turned on me in my hour of need and is unresponsive. If this should reach him, know my love for you is like a cavernous canyon. Both vast and deep. Farewell.
               “Darling I don’t think canyons can be cavernous. By their nature canyons don’t have ceilings and therefore cannot be cavernous.” Josh scowled as Derek chuckled. “But your poetic phrasing is sweet. However we do have to get this baby fed.” Derek kissed the tip of Joshes nose before turning his attention back to the baby who was perched in a high chair. “Nyeeeeroooom!” Derek maneuvered the spoon the way parents are wont to do in the vain hope of coaxing the child to open her mouth. Her mouth however was set in a stubborn pout as she scowled at her would be feeder.
               I fear we shall starve here, set behind the wall of our scowling opponent. All hope should be henceforth abandoned as metal is flying in my direction once more. Surely we shall perish here my love. And yet, success! A hole in our enemy’s defenses has been breached! Perhaps there is hope after all. With my love by my side I shall- “Babe, you need to stop writing and feed your niece. The bedroom is still a mess from the diaper debacle and eventually we’re probably going to have to change her again.” Joshes nose scrunched at the thought and he reluctantly took over trying to convince the child to not wallpaper their kitchen with green mush the origin of which could no longer be deciphered. He had moderate success and by the time Derek returned was running a clean cloth over the baby’s face. “Done? Wow.” Derek’s eyebrows raised in mild surprise. “You didn’t skip any steps did you?” His voice had an accusatory edge and Josh crossed his arms. “Now why would I skip steps? Put food on spoon, put spoon in mouth, wait for swallow, repeat.” Derek quirked an eyebrow. “Then why is the little jar still mostly full? Did you only feed her two spoonfuls?”
“Yes! I followed the instructions! Put food on spoon, put spoon in mouth…” Derek frowned thoughtfully while Josh continued explaining. “Well, that is true… maybe that’s all babies need. Okay, so what is next?” Joshes rant ceased immediately as he once again consulted the instructions. “Put her down with a bottle. Wait what? You can’t club a baby with a bottle what’s she saying?!” Joshes voice once again got high as Derek snatched the page from his hands. “I mean I’ve had to put down animals before but what kind of monster does she think I am?! No, I’m not going to put down her baby I don’t care what she s-“
“Josh.” Derek’s voice was soothing as he crooned at him. “Your sister does not want you to kill her baby.”
“But the instructions-“
“I’m sure she just means to put it down out of the high chair. Let’s put it on the floor with a bottle okay?” At that Derek plucked an empty pop bottle off the counter. “I mean, we have toys for it so I don’t know why it would need a bottle but maybe it just likes them.” The baby cooed as Derek lifted it from the high chair, reaching once more for his tie as he set it on the kitchen floor. “I’m going to get these dishes caught up, why don’t you clean the walls?” Josh waited several minutes for his pulse to return to a normal rate before he took a shaky breath and nodded. “Okay. That makes sense.” All was well. Except that it wasn’t. All was not well at all.
               You may have no experience with babies. In which case I would like to inform you that a kitchen floor is absolutely no place to leave one. Josh had hardly touched cloth to wall when a piercing wail made his hands shoot to the sides of his head to shield his ears. Pots clanged into the sink as Derek did the same and both scanned the room for the source of the unbearable noise. Halfway across the room from where they’d left her was the child, her hand caught in a cupboard door and an unholy screech echoing from her tiny lungs. Both men sprang into action, tripping over each other as they gently eased her fingers from the crack between cupboard and door. “Is she ok?”
“No she’s not okay!” Derek cooed softly at the child as he picked it up and rocked it. “She could have lost a finger, I thought we had babyproof things on those doors?”
“We do!” Joshes pulse rapidly began to rise again when he thought of what his sister might do to them if she learned about this. “They must not be installed correctly. Hold on, let me get the instructions, I’ll uninstall and reinstall them.”
“I mean, is that really important right now?” The baby’s shrieking had subsided to gentle hiccups. “We just have to watch her. Make sure she doesn’t go anywhere she’s not supposed to.” Josh shook his head.
“That would be like leaving faulty virus protection on a computer and telling someone to avoid sites where viruses are common. The program is faulty, we have to reinstall it.”
“Yes but fixing the computer’s components is more important than making sure the malware protection is properly installed.” Derek’s lips pursed as they entered into an ages long debate. “The health of the machine is your first concern. Hardware before software.” Joshes eyes flared.
“But if your software is up to date you have a better chance of not damaging the hardware!” The argument continued to escalate, and in their fervour neither man noticed a soft yawn like the coo of a dove and gentle snoring as the child nestled into Derek’s chest and closed her eyes. Calm rhythmic breaths warmed his shirt as they argued pointlessly about the hardware or software, of the child who could care less.

Short Story Sunday: T.O 1
Thor x Reader
Prompts:
93. "You’re crazy! You’re out of your mind!”  98."Where are your pants?” 42. "If I die I’m going to come back and haunt you.”

Requested by: @narutoro
Tumblr media
“Where are your pants?” I yelled as I walked into Thor and Hulks room on Sakaar. I put my hands over my eyes. “Hulk... Big guy... can you please put on some pants?” Hulk laughed.
“You can look now Lady Y/N” Thor called out. I removed my hands from my eyes. “Thank you Thor.” I stared pointedly at Thor. “I know that look on your face. What are you planning?” 
Thor pointed to the quinjet and explained his plan. I stood there shocked. “You’re crazy! You’re out of your mind!”
Thor just stared at me. “So... are you in?” I thought for a moment. “Of course I am you big loaf.” I smiled while patting him on the shoulder. “But I have to let you know. If I die I’m going to come back and haunt you.” 
He chuckled. “Naturally.”
