Poetry

Featured by: LadyofGaerdon

Multi-layered mythology in less than fifty words.

The author employs impeccable rhythm and warm,

brittle longing to imbue each word with the

power of hundreds.

Per the suggester: "There's usually something

sharp in the criticisms teens find for the world,

but not often do adults go back to those years

and refine the edges of young observations. This

short, well expressed poem does just that."

Prose

Suggested by: saevuswinds

Featured by: LiliWrites

:thumb282822335:

The suggester writes: "A Dream in the Desert"

opens up several questions, and puts in just

enough detail and loads of imagery to let

you figure what happened all on your own.</sub>

AdvertisementsShe was only six when the funeral homes started sending us advertisements, all competing with each other to be the best, to win her business. To win our business, more like; six is hardly old enough to understand what's going on. It's not old enough to understand why everyone is covering their mouths with their hands and failing to hold back tears when you walk into the room, or old enough to understand why people begin to outright sob when you start talking about what you want to be when you grow up. Once it was a doctor, before that it was a fairy princess, but right now it's a policewoman.
And of course all the children have heard about the funeral homes. Cold, nasty, make their business in knowing when people are going to die. Not how, as far as anyone can tell, just...when. A lot of kids have had relatives—great-aunts, great-uncles, maybe great-grandparents—start getting advertisements, maybe been shown them to know what to look out for, but not Anita. She

A quaint and somewhat creepy story that

really plays with the reader's mind as

to what's going on in the plot until the ending.

From the Suggester: "Strings is a perfect
