Through the Looking Glass
You're Alice through the glass
again -
mercurial,
and hidden from your brothers -
Jacob, sloe eyed
with words that stuck
to the roof of his mouth
and dirty palms,
his feet terrified of running.
Michael - drowning,
thick with dreams
and the burden
of a mother's troubled love,
his voice unable
to find its way home.
You wanted to stay a child,
and chase rabbits
through the garden
and wear a crown
to tea parties
like the other girls you knew.
Not play house
with strangers
and bury what you couldn't feel
deep enough to lose you.
Dear Sir/Madam,
It has come to our attention
this is the twenty-third rejection
of work you have submitted to our site.
We don't wish to be alarming
and we hope this sounds disarming,
but your use of metaphor is somewhat trite.
We somewhat like the concept
(the execution is inept)
besides, your work just does not meet our theme.
You need to have more adjectives
and words like gloam and mucilage,
and phrases that go along in kind.
Please keep the imagery obscure -
the reader never should be sure
just what it is the author has in mind.
Pick a structure we all can stand -
we find your rhythm rather bland
and no deep meaning can

Do you want to see...
Will you be my test subject?
He he, I must dissect.
Open every little thing
and just find out about it
I want to see everything
I want to see the brain
But hark!
I am not mad
I am the opposite
even if madness overwhelms me at times
I am not mad
I might act out
I might look at you
no, stare at you
immensely
I might scare you at times
I might even cause you to run away from me.
But it is no use
I will find you eventually
and convince you that I am NOT mad
All I want to do is dissect
Do you want to join me?
It'll be fun
We''l find a test subject
we'll open his body
it's as easy as ripping a piece of paper.
We'll see how
After the incident I began to feel- strange
My chest burned
My mind deranged
My well being...
But I cannot let this harm my cool!
My reputation will be ruined!
I'm always the coolest between us
The calmest
The one who doesn't resort to violence when the other irritates you
My head is pounding faster and faster
The little devil is growing
it has become even more devious, deranged
he's been in my way so many times
But in a way, I say that it has helped my a little
That day
That one day when Crona was harmed
That scar began to burn
It took over
The black blood
No!
The madness made me fight.
It caused harm
not jus
Nikolai Lebinov was not a bad man. Like all people, he just had bad habits. He was quick to anger, smoked far too much, and his love for vodka was a little over-the-top. Yet, somehow, he managed to be the perfect warrior, surpassing all in the ways of espionage. Clawing his way up the ranks of the secret K.G.B. for nearly a decade, he was born into the world fighting. Fighting for his life, fighting for his government, fighting for his country; all he did was fight.
In fact, that's what he was doing this very moment. Running down the dank, concrete corridors of an underground Vietnamese drug-rink in the middle of California, the sting of his
It's not easy to make yourself stop shaking, is it?
I didn't mean to do this, I swear.
My hands had a mind of their own, honest.
And they were asking for this, weren't they?
They wanted to die, right?
They wouldn't stop whining, no sir.
So I did a good thing, yes?
Yes, that's right.
Now all I need is to get rid of the evidence.
I'm not insane, right?
Poison
Stein's POV
Every word that comes from her mouth is disgraceful, ignorant and just down right unintelligent. How you can even be effected by her words is beyond me. And yet, here you are, standing in the middle of this barren hallway. Red faced as hot tears leak from your green eyes.. Your wonderfully beautiful green eyes. I frown sadly as I stare at you, the back of your hand covering your open sobbing mouth, while your other hand grips the front of your shirt, probably to try and regain control of yourself. I watch as the tears continue to stream down your face, showing no signs of stopping any time soon. After a few more momen
