Nothing is Ever Easy

There was no humor left as Joe stood between the two trashed vehicles. Previously in a colossal marathon of drinks the night before, Joe and Steve decided to pull a joke on their friend Mark who was newly married into money and lived in a large house with a circular driveway. The next evening Joe sneaked up to Mark’s car and didn’t trigger the alarm as he opened the door. It was an expensive foreign job and Mark didn’t know how to drive it. Steve sneaked in what was Mark’s wife’s car and started it up easily. Joe meant to reverse into the street when the front of the car smashed into the other one with a huge oomph! Mark had just started forward when the two collided. Dogs started barking at the noise, and the newlyweds came running out of the house hearing the crash. All the supposed fun of the joke had turned into a disaster.

Joe felt shivers down his spine as he grabbed his girlfriend’s arm. They thought it would be something fun to do, the Halloween cave tour, but not expecting anything real. Some of the skulls were the size of children! It was all too real and sorrowful. They backed up out of the cave and left the area. The vision haunted them both for many nights. The Halloween cave tour was canceled after one night while forensic teams investigated the site.

W3 – Sleep

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Sleep

Evades

Toss and turn

Pillows, blankets

Fly in discontent

This malady drives me

To curse every softness bit

Meditation try off putting

Again rising to walk back and forth

While frustration finds success in no sleep.

“Sleep evades, toss and turn, pillows, blankets fly”

I’m not sure if this is in correct form

W3 Prompt #78: Wea’ve Written Weekly

Insomnia

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

I think I’m just going to give up on sleep

Let all those mangy thoughts that keep

Dancing around in my mind and reap

Havoc, like some odd nightmare, they creep.

The clock glows one-thirty, then three

I nod off and hope to wake and see

At least six or seven

That would be heaven

But no, it seems to be stuck at four

Why can’t I stay asleep any more?

Guess I’ll get up, and open the door

To the fridge for cold water, watch it pour

Could it be thirst was keeping me awake?

I’m back in bed, open a book that will take

Me into a different world where it seems

That sleep is the hoped-for fantasy dream.

Simply Six Minutes

It was respected, and named, “the old one”. It had grown there starting as a sapling, hundreds of years ago. The monks who planted it let it take over a few feet of the outside wall and then tried to trim it back. No matter how they tried it seemed impervious to any blade. Because of this all persons living in the area thought it was a sacred tree. Some people even set up small shrines by its roots. The monks have long since left the structure for new accommodations nearby. The tree remains.
