Enter the agreement without hesitation;

Fall pray of your hearts desire,

concealed within the veil of lust,

crash, unbridled into the harsh crust of failure

***

Open yourself to the possibilities of life’s pleasures,

only to be bedazzled by its twists and contrivances.

Sense the future, feel the pain,

Jealous cravings, possibilities for betrayal around every corner.

***

Echoes or past torments still ringing load,

fears of hurt still tender and pronounced,

no words to take solace in,

no trust to soak your soul.

***

Then, as fears become reality,

realisation of knowledge well earned, embraced,

the end comes swiftly,

consuming your time together in one brutal motion.

***

Step taken back,

deeds past left standing for time to erode;

Look upon your adventure with solemn glee,

nostalgia, alls that remains,

***

Dreams of smiles now long forgotten,

pleasures now consigned to history,

a joint fate once so clear, smothered by life’s intolerance,

fallen duo, moved on, to greener pastures.

***

Time ticks, worlds turn and perspective found at last.

What was a path so clear, is now muddied, and misled.

The soul you thought you were now gone and replaced by who you truly are.

The picture of character, so mislabelled, nobility gone, but not deceased…

***

For rarely is your better self reflected in your better half…

DARKLY

100 word flash fiction

Darkly, he fell to the floor, face wet, hands bloodied. How had this happened? Why had this been done? The world shattered around him, shards still penetrating his tough exterior.

Standing over the body, the result of a violent exchange, he turned towards the light of the world which shone through the window, sunlight piercing his soul, a forlorn reminder that a life had been taken, and he had committed the most unfprgivable sin.

The darkness of greed and anger had taken him for but a moment, and now for eternity, his sins will forever mark him; a murderer.

The first four chapters of “Union Jack” are now online. This will be the first in an anthology of short stories, dealing with the rise of a right wing political leadership in the U.K.

This segment of the story deals with rise of the leader. Each story will build up the whole, each told from a slightly different perspective.

This will be a short series based on a sub plot from one of my much larger projects, but I thought that it would be interesting to see at least a little of it in print, as it were.

Anyway, barring the title, the body text is indeed 500 words.
