I felt her presence. Se...@warrencbennett 249 words<br /><br />I felt her presence. Serene and holy, perfection at the moment of creation. I had to lower my eyes to keep from seeing her directly. The goodness and joy inside of her made my skin crawl. <br /><br />I could feel her take my hands in hers. She burned and I almost pulled my hands away. I still couldn’t look up.<br /><br />“Why are you here?” Death rattling around in my throat and pushing through burnt lips.<br /><br />“You are dying.”<br /><br />I tried to nod but my head just wiggled a bit. I could feel it, the demon coming out from inside. Taking control. I would soon not be me and I deserved such an end.<br /><br />I opened my eyes and looked at her for a moment. Just seeing her powerful form hurt me in such a way but I didn't look away.<br /><br />“Perhaps we should start again.” <br /><br />“My fate is deserved.” I sighed. Regret flowing through me.<br /><br />She didn't try to console me or tell me how good I really am. She just took me in her arms and held me as my spirit fled my body. I could feel the flames around me consuming my soul. She stayed cool and calm.<br /><br />Moments later I opened my eyes<br /><br />“You are a lucky man Mr. Benjamin. Don't try to talk. You survived unscathed but you inhaled a large amount of smoke.<br /><br />I nodded. The doctor some more and let me be. I survived? The image of an angel burned brightly than faded away.deejrandomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805418493995688709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-26303817642947460582014-07-17T19:46:48.800-06:002014-07-17T19:46:48.800-06:00Arthur braided his wife's white hair and liste...Arthur braided his wife's white hair and listened to her shallow breath. She looked at him and gave him a weak smile.<br /><br />“You are as beautiful now as ever,” he said.<br /><br />Jean squeezed his hand. Arthur squeezed back.<br /><br />She closed her eyes and breathed her last. Arthur blinked back tears, lost in memories of happiness and sorrow.<br /><br />“I'm lost without you,” he whispered.<br /><br />She didn't move.<br /><br />“End game” said Arthur.<br /><br />Arthur and Jean blinked as the room came back into focus.

How hard is that?” ...“Just walk over and say hello. How hard is that?” Kelsey rolled her eyes, buffing the bar with a rag.<br /> <br />Jace swallowed, his gaze locked on the sexiest, most elegantly dressed man he’d ever seen sitting at a table nearby, nose in a book. <br />“But he’s so…”<br /><br />“Classy? Suave? Sophisticated?” Kelsey offered, putting a hand on her hip.<br /><br />“Yes…and out of my league.” He sighed, looking down at his rumpled jeans and scuffed up sneakers. <br /><br />Kelsey groaned. “Oh stop. Who cares if you’re not all dressed up. This IS a coffee bar! Maybe he came straight from work or maybe he’s waiting for—“<br /><br />“Someone? Like a date? Perfect.” <br /><br />“Not necessarily,” she backpedaled. “He could be meeting his boss? Sister? Or mother!?”<br /><br />“Right.” This time Jace rolled his eyes. <br /><br />“Okay, that’s enough.” Kelsey came around and pulled him off the stool with an amazing amount of strength. “Now go.” On “go” she gave him a hefty shove. <br /><br />And suddenly he was careening haphazardly toward Elegant Man’s table.<br /><br />Elegant Man had only a moment to look up and jump back before Jace landed belly first on the table, sending the man’s coffee cascading across the floor. <br /><br />Jace’s face went hot as he got up, tripping over apologies. Kelsey ran over to make sure he was okay before cleaning up the mess. <br /><br />A hand covered his and he realized it was Elegant Man’s. <br /><br />“Perhaps, we should start again?” <br /><br />Jace smiled at the concern in the man’s eyes. “Yes please.”<br /><br />247 Words<br />@HunterFrostMM<br />Hunter Frosthttp://www.hunterfrost.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-69553393480446945222014-07-17T19:22:15.485-06:002014-07-17T19:22:15.485-06:00I hit the forest, determined to put as much distan...I hit the forest, determined to put as much distance between me and the mighty morphing tree people as possible before sunset. The trees shuddered and sighed as I passed, and more than one shifted into human form to protest my departure.<br /><br />“Fuck off. Better yet, <i>leave.</i>”<br /><br />I needed a trail. A way home.<br /><br />The gentle terrain made for an easy hike and the anger burning through me drove my steps. Five klicks, maybe more, and I stopped to take a breath. The trees were finally silent, except for the occasional breeze whispering through.<br /><br />“I don’t suppose I can take this as a sign I’m home?”<br /><br />Adrius, the last man-tree I wanted or needed to see, answered my question.<br /><br />“You left a trail a sapling could follow.”<br /><br />“I wasn’t going for discreet.” I crossed my arms. “Just away from you.”<br /><br />He winced, his mouth tightening at the corners.<br /><br />“I should have told you, I know.”<br /><br />“Queen? A freaking <i>queen</i>?” I shouldered my way past him, adding an extra body check for good measure. “Buddy, you should have led with that bit of intel.”<br /><br />The air whooshed out of him as my elbow connected with his kidney.<br /><br />“Circe, wait—” His hand wrapped hard around my wrist stopped me more than the plea. “Perhaps we should start again.”<br /><br />“Or we could just skip to the end.” I gave my best fuck-you salute and tugged free. “Goodbye. And, if Karma works in this ass backwards world, I’d watch out for root rot.”<br /><br />@caramichaels<br />250 WIP wordsCara Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956521710750982258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-1494950454981245212014-07-17T17:34:23.498-06:002014-07-17T17:34:23.498-06:00That is a HARD moment to write.
