Hello. Nobody can hear you, what do you think you’re doing? Trying to see if anybody can hear me. … Nobody can hear me, I know. I got that. Where do you think they are? You’re asking me? Might as well. Not close to the front, that’s where. Where do you think we are? InContinue reading “Cory’s Story: conversations but as pies”

January 14th, 2022/breaking the 4th wall
Today’s Prompt: Write about a challenge you faced and overcame. This prompt feels incredibly vague to me, and I wasn’t sure what direction to go with it. Did you know that literally every story with a plot, is about a character facing a challenge and overcoming it? Unfortunately, “every story with a plot” doesn’t fitContinue reading “January 14th, 2022/breaking the 4th wall”
January 13th, 2022/independent of dawn-dead dreams
Today’s Prompt: What does your ideal day look like? My ideal day doesn’t have a face, so I don’t know what it looks like. /end snark Honestly, that was my only idea about this prompt. I don’t know what my ideal day looks like, physical form or no. So here’s a poem about some non-idealContinue reading “January 13th, 2022/independent of dawn-dead dreams”
Cory’s Story: for all the lonely alters
The evidence of pain pulsed across the body, like paint stains. Cory came to, skin stinging, surrounded by shards of metal scattered across rocks. Dull red rocks. He groaned. And stopped groaning, from the shock of the body’s young, girlish voice. Cory pushed himself up, blinking against glimmering sunlight, shoving aside sharp rocks so theyContinue reading “Cory’s Story: for all the lonely alters”
January 12th, 2022/hidden and confusing faces
Today’s Prompt: What emoji(s) do you like to use? uh…🎉👻🌈🌺🌸🌼 yeah I like these emojis. Notice anything? NONE OF THEM ARE NORMAL FACES. Oh I also like this:), the smiley emoticon. That’s probably the closest to faces I get. I don’t know if it’s just a me thing, or maybe a slightly autistic thing, orContinue reading “January 12th, 2022/hidden and confusing faces”
January 11th, 2022/courage rain
Today’s Prompt: What does it mean to live boldly? I live as bold as a raindrop. I gather my self in the troposphere until I accumulate bigger than my dust-fears, and I yield to earth’s gravity and I plummet ever so courageously. ***2nd poem*** This potion comes in three parts: One, the thumb thimbles toContinue reading “January 11th, 2022/courage rain”
January 10th, 2022/blood magic
Today’s Prompt: What are 5 things you’re grateful for today? (I was feeling rather uninspired by today’s prompt, so here is a scene I wrote that reminds me why I’m grateful to be alive. Interpretations/thoughts always welcome!) I trudge through these night plains. Clouds of insects guide my path. Dizzyingly, they flit about the fields,Continue reading “January 10th, 2022/blood magic”
January 9th, 2022/ink to the bees
Today’s Prompt: What do people incorrectly assume about you? (my train of thought upon seeing this prompt: “I don’t know what people assume about me, it’s in their heads.” “Ooh, what if you knew what was in people’s heads?” “Ooh let’s write a poem about telepathy.” So here we are.) Thoughts don’t have edges theContinue reading “January 9th, 2022/ink to the bees”
January 8th, 2022/my mix of 6 writing-why’s list
Today’s Prompt: What do you like most about your writing? Oh we’re about to brag about ourselves, aren’t we? Eek. In an effort to make this more engaging for you, how about a list? I am a writer and a reader. I love to write because everything my reader self craves I can do myContinue reading “January 8th, 2022/my mix of 6 writing-why’s list”
Cory’s Story: a little’s life logic
(ps, “a little” in a dissociative system refers to a child-aged alter) *** I’m smart. Are you proud of me? I always thought of you as very intelligent. But yes, I suppose I’m extra proud of you. I figured it out. Figured what out? Everyone around here is sad and mopey, but not me. ThatContinue reading “Cory’s Story: a little’s life logic”
