story with no name, beginning.


Dread fills my stomach and fear starts to strangle my insides. As I fall faster and faster, hurdling towards the hard, rock strewn ground. I let out a terrified scream, even though I know I can do this, and have done this before, it still scares the bejeezus out of me. I spread my arms out and close my eyes, willing myself to grow wings, feathers, talons, and a beak. I am a falcon, it occurs to me, as I'm trying to get used to my new form, that I've never flown as a falcon before. . . 

Ok, yeah you get the idea, I'm a Shape Shifter. And a complete dumbass. A complete dumbass Shape Shifter with an unfortunate habit of unintentionally getting into life threatening situations. Oh also, just a little side note here, my name's Alex, and I'm a magical, 1/4 elvin, mildly depressed teen, from everywhere I've ever been. This is my life story, little warning here, unless you like unfair circumstances, angry mobs of elves, odd transformations, mid-air life contemplation, and flashbacks, I recommend you avert your eyes and go find something better to read,(literally anything other than this)

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
