Hook :)
"Wait, come back, this isn't mine!" I screamed after the mailman as he ran the other way with a look of sheer terror on his face. Looking back, I guess it wasn't my finest moment, standing there in my underwear and a t-shirt, fresh out of the shower with a towel still wrapped around my head, but I can't imagine that would send the mailman running away screaming.
Opening
The woeful tune echoed against the walls and into little Marie's heart. Marie gave in to the music and listened to the melody as it entranced her: bone by bone. With the fascinations of a wise woman thrice her age, Marie listened to every beat and note as if they were the last she would ever hear.
not Dark ENERGY, but Dark MATTER
I awoke in stages, a luxury I wasn’t afforded before our escape to what we’d thought a safe haven. The Dark Matter I alone had detected in unmistakable detail shattered all semblance of normalcy, affecting immediate displacement. Not only had I seen its valid name-imprint, Dark Matter, on the scatterscreen at my workplace, I’d witnessed its awful power in person!
Sandlewood smoldering in candlestand.
Sophia brushed her teeth,
washed yesterday out of her hair,
Another Sunday she rushed to the bus stop.
A little girl crossing the road with Hershey’s ice-cream cone melting down till her elbows and dripping.
Sophia took the bus to her work.
Remembering how she used to play in the park, sand-filled her shoes.
When the moon chased her, she couldn’t tie her shoelaces.
Skyscrapers melted down bending to her faded childhood.
Sophia saw an innocent, naive, carefree girl crossing the road.
Just like her.
Sophia wished she could turn back the clock
and skip today’s laundry
Just go and enjoy Hershey’s ice-cream.
The Intro to Amnesia
It was ironically beautiful weather for such a morbid event. The bright blue sky contrasted harshly against the black smoke that trickled from the burning pyre up into the atmosphere. Nature seemed to take pleasure in taunting us with what would normally be a perfect day by ruining it with a funeral.
Recommendations?
Thank you very much @Polaroid for joining me into this challenge!
Now it's my turn...
I've been reading @Danceinsilence's Stange Holidays and Strange Facts About U.S. History lately, and there's a lot to learn about in these books. Check it out!
Also, I've also checked @Samina's poems and spoken words, and I recommend you to also check it out.
Thank you very much!
