Instead he kissed her. There was no fireworks. But bombs going off. Big explosions in the distant and a faint, but unmistakable smell of dynamite. Imagined body parts getting torn into fragments.
She couldn't help but hold onto him. That close it was easy to forget cousins and uncles and the dull homework involving numbers that refused to do what they were supposed to do.
He said; let's go somewhere.
She felt a magnetic pull. And a throbbing.
He led her into the woods. It was getting dark fast. The sound of the people laughing and screaming on the rides was starting to fade out.
They walked until almost all the light was gone. His hand was like a mold on hers. But she did start wondering where they were going.
Almost, he said and turned around, but the shadows were so dark she couldn't see his face.

ReplyDeleteYou left me hanging on that one. Something so simple and so powerful in this piece, I'm curious as to where it went from there. I love your work. I don't know what I'd do with myself if you stopped writing.

I was at the Red Lion this past weekend with the Husband and I admit to looking for pink Crocs more than once.

You are all too kind.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ella, catch me next time at the Red Lion. It would have been a trip to meet you IRL. Don't wear the crocs too often. Look for Converse sneakers instead.
Most things in life are fun til they aren't, lol..You are quite the wordsmith Miss Kim...Keep writing...Peace.
ReplyDeleteHey. I hope you don't mind me commenting out of the blue, but I found your blog via Dennis Cooper's. Just thought I'd drop a note saying that I've really been enjoying some of the writing on here. Looking forward to reading more. Take care. Thomas
