Dream: Barbie

7/23/23 Barbie, like the doll, was walking through a meadow with a few scattered trees next to a reflective, motionless,pristine, and undisturbed lake. Or perhaps it was too small for a lake. A pond? Her boyfriend, Ken, was there. As well as her three younger sisters. They

Dream: Red Eye

Visage

1/25/23, watching a playthrough of Visage. It’s a horror game that so far as I know has nothing to do with this freewrite. “It has to be a Figment.” Abel whispers to himself, “There is no way that thing is human.” His eyes follow the figure jumping

The Mote in the Eye

I found this in my notebook. I’m not sure how old it is, but I go through notebooks pretty fast, so I reckon it can’t be more than a year old. I think it had something to do with how when I was young I didn’t understand

Prayer

Peace to my mind. Comfort to my soul. Softens the stress. Lightens the load. - I don't know about you, But I get answers when I pray. Some people think that's not true. That I simply meditate. - Or they might say, That's it's a placebo. Even if that's the

Kylie late to the party

This is another short story I failed to write. I wrote this on the same day that I wrote Vyre the Barista. Kylie giggles uncontrollably, making faces at her reflection in the holographic display of a mirror, the only source of light in the flooded alleyway, filthy dark water splashing
