Her taut skin tore, exposing her crushed soul.
She wasn't a goddess. She was vulnerable.
By losing the rolls, she'd shed her armor against a world that always saw the truth she couldn't.
The hole hadn't been in her stomach; it had been in her heart.

"The goal is simple," said the CEO of the premier e-hypermarket. "To keep consumers busy with their next dopamine hit, we keep vendors & delivery companies on brand under their benefactor, Lord Hermes Market. Tell 'em again how much more they'll sell if they only ship it faster."
"Look at the stars. The great kings of the past-."
"Don't quote The Lion King to your teenager, dad."
"Right. Sorry."
"This is great. Just like this."
Dad tucked his hands behind his head with an elated smile.

The dominos stood tensely erect like soldiers awaiting orders. The gleeful wait was short. Click, click they fell to spell the letters F and U. #GWstorieseverywhere
The sweet breath of memories mix with the pungent smell of sewage. I walk the same thin line next to the river. The excited crisscrossing patter of my akita's feet is silent now. I can hear him barking.

He lurked in the darkened suburbs. He had always disappointed his family, but they were smiling now. The smirking doppelganger drew the curtains. #GWstorieseverywhere

This infatuation that has me trembling and sprawled naked on the floor,
A hungry desire to be song and wrapped in biblichor,
This aching, slippery glory where my name is on every tongue,
Because I won't admit, that no one ever stays young. #vss365
There’s a smaller
Version of me
And it dwells
Within my shell…
And an even
Smaller version
Nesting in that shell
As well
As I nest into
#Infinity
The World
Rings like a bell

Ate them mushrooms
Cuz this high’s
A living Hell…
