Extinct language.I fill myself with dead tongues,
rising through my gut and singing
streaming in a dancing line from my mouth.
Perhaps fictional tongues,
words wrapped in a world to never
exist.
Kings and elves
fantasy of the highest order.
Speak.
The words of long dead men
imagined men
A history vibrating through
the patterns of my mouth
a slow dance of my butchered inflection.
To know my words echo
the sentiments
of ages now come to pass.
Extinct language. by dextroannie

_{Every language, whether it came
to be organically or creatively,
is unique, and each contains its
own history and stories, just
waiting for us to discover them.}

I thought I knew my death.I thought I knew my death. He grabbed my heart one day and squeezed tightly, banded fear wrapping its way around my body and terrorizing the air from my lungs. "Not..Like..This.." I would gasp, thinking that there must be some better way out. I would start to beg but it would soon be over. He'd release me and my body would give up. There would be nothing left to say.
I thought I knew my death. She would slip into the shadows some months before I thought my time was up. She would slowly take my memories for my own, replacing them with child's talk and nonsensical things. "Oh please, won't somebody help me." It would be a rhetoric, although I wouldn't know that then.
I thought I knew my death. He would seep into my skin and beneath my bones. Disease would spread through my veins, shutting me down. My very soul would ache, because cancerous ways could do cancerous things. He would wrap himself around my very voice, my heart, my tissue and my being. "Take me home." I w
I thought I knew my death by Kaz-D

<sub>Suggester: "This flash fiction
piece by Kaz-D takes an old
phrase and reshapes it, makes
it into something beautiful."

My Paper Mache PersonLiving with you it felt like I could shatter at any moment. Even though I was the one who chose to stay I couldn't stand to watch you break over and over again. You were like the paper Mache people I made as a kid, too heavy to support your own weight. The funny thing is I never did learn my lesson and I would try again and again unable to make them perfect just like I could never fix you. Maybe its because we're both broken inside the same way mom was when brother never took his first breaths. It probably would have been better if we had never met. But, I wouldn't want to forget. Me and you we both filled our bodies with poison until we couldn't move surrounded by either vomit or decay. I'm not telling you this so you can forgive me. I knew what I was getting into when I made you laugh at the thought of hanging yourself with a shoelace but so did you. Go find someone who knows where to put the pieces and doesn't have to hold you up because I've already run away. I wondered if you thou
My Paper Mache Person by dandiliondrifter
_{Suggester: "This piece revolves
around a metaphor and an
enticing style. It delivers a
truth a lot of us need to hear."}
