World Vision
“Bottom row, please,” the optician said.
“N V S T Q D F Y,” Jonathan retorted.
“Not quite.”
She adjusted the lenses. For a moment, his vision spiraled and then everything became clear.
“Try again.”
“M U S T O B E Y,” he droned.
“Glad you finally see the world my way,” she cooed.
Here’s a little something about me. I’ve had to wear glasses since the age of 5. I also can’t stand contacts. Had to change the lenses of mine fairly recently and the thought of it ended up manifesting in this piece. I really like it.
Unforgettable
“Don’t forget to miss me while I’m away,” Stella said before heading out.
The moment the door closed, Alec tried to resist her suggestion, but how could he? Every word was a command, every command a fiery compulsion burning deep inside his mind. He would remember… and grovel… and yearn for more… programmed beyond repair.
I was feeling lonely again, go figure. Feelings like that have a way of insinuating my writings whether I like it or not. Not everything was bad as this got done.
Juicy
Quentin would have never considered detox juices if it weren’t for his girlfriend. Her favorite combinations included: celery, spinach, and avocado; ginger, carrots, and broccoli; apples, lettuce, and scopolamine… he loved them all, especially the last one.
After watching him empty yet another glass, she removed her panties and whispered:
“Time for another drink, slave.”
Detox juices are all the rage, nowadays. I tried a few, wasn’t particularly seduced by them but quenched my thirst for words this way.
The Connection
The Internet went out without warning and the sudden electronic silence made Percy shiver. Being offline was scary.
Impatiently, he waited for its return and, when it finally happened, he didn’t mind the flickering screen or the unknown female voice taking over his thoughts. As long as he was connected, nothing else mattered. Absolutely nothing.
I got really upset when my Internet connection crapped out on me, a situation that carried over the weekend. I tried to have a laugh out of it with this particular piece.
