Plum blossoms
I stand in silence, listening to the moving leaves above me. A shower of plum blossom petals dance in the early morning breeze…

Heartbreak
“Maybe I should kiss you to ease the tension?” Those were the last words I spoke before she broke my heart…

I only enlisted to impress the ladies…

Recession
The front gate wasn’t so much open as barely held in place by its rusting hinges…

Roles
“That’s not fair!” The little young voice is filled with a mix of annoyance and disappointment…

When everything goes wrong
Sometimes the best way to fix things is to give up and start over.

I’m trying to keep a regular (life permitting) publishing schedule, polishing and re-working my #Writing towards my first book.

Husky (5/?) 🧵
– But I gave you your life back. You’re still here, you’re healthy and have a chance to live a long and wonderful life instead of watching it pass from a hospital bed. What else do you want?
– I want to live it in my own way, without the ghost of my twin sister trying to do it for me!
She could feel the voice going back to a deep corner of her mind. It wouldn’t stay there long, but at least for now she could live her own life, for a while.
Husky (4/?) 🧵
– You never loved me, you were always telling me how to be and what to do. Trying to turn me into you.
– Of course I love you. Would I have given you my heart if I didn’t?
– Curse that stupid transplant! Fuck those stupid doctors! Fuck you for having that stupid accident just when I needed a heart!
