you have to melt the wax first
and then dip the wicks

Fiction Friday #141
This week’s Fiction Friday assignment was to “Pick a book of fiction you’d never read (e.g., if you read sci-fi, pick a romance).

my mind in a fog
i hear the barking
of a far away dog

with rifle in tow

yet i do not notice
because from all around
comes the incessant barking
of an aged red hound
i cannot find the direction
from which it is coming
and i do not even notice
how quickly my feet are numbing
i trek across my land
looking for the tracks
that will lead me to this beast
when i notice the pain in my back

all my life
people within me
have made me do things
i normally would not do
and i try
every day now
to ease all the pains
that live in my heart
these people stay
they will not leave me alone
but now i plan to kill them
and with their end comes mine

life is full of possibilities
but there are inabilities
people have created
causing lives to be wasted

late that night
when the last spark died
i looked right at her
inside i died
late that night
when the fireworks were done
i looked back
at what i had done
we were so close
one time before
i cannot believe
we are no more
