The Sample Snatcher

You go in with just one mission Get in, get out Grab what you need And you’re done But then you see it There at the end of the aisle A little red booth With the woman serving There’s a crowd this time She pulls the tray from the oven There are only a few pieces You spot the one you want You scout out your competition There’s the tall skinny one, He was at the last booth And the little kid, too The chubby one comes running As fast as he can He swipes that little sample Right from your reach He runs away Laughing all the way Quite content With his little snack, You watch him go And think to yourself Next time, sample sna

Gone is the Life

Feet pounding with the unsteady rhythm of fatigue, the woman ran. She ran until she could breathe no more, yet still she continued to push herself well past her limit. The bucket she carried swung back and forth like a rabid animal at her side as she moved, water splashing out every step. Even in the frigid weather, heavy drops of sweat ran down her face, dripping into her eyes and causing her to stumble. Grasping at trees to keep her up, she desperately tried to catch her breath as she continued on, chest heaving. Forests provided security from sight, but these attackers didn’t need their vision to find her. She kept running, a seeming

The World As It Is

In a cold, dark prison cell a once young and beautiful woman sat staring out the single window she’d been granted. She looked at the leafless branches on the trees outside and the gray grass of the dying fields around her lonely prison. She could see the now familiar feeling of death and despair in everything she looked at. She remembered a day when the world around her held an air of magic and perfection, a day when she was the definition of grace and beauty, but in more recent times she was finding it harder and harder to remember those happy days. She was only one of many, but she felt as if she were the one and only to be confined t

The Sum of Infinity by SeaPlume, literature

Literature

The Sum of Infinity

I don't know if I'll ever tell my children about you. (I don't know if I'll even have descendants.) A family was never on my to-do list, until you came along. You made me wonder if I wanted kids, just so I could say to them "You know, the day your dad and I met…" because I thought we could last forever, and I'm still not sure if we have. Our friendship endures, even as I fall asleep picturing her arms around you, and I wonder if you'll ever come back to me but spend every day noticing the reasons I'm glad you left and hoping you'll return. Never intending to fall in

Death is Only a Beginning by Contradictory55, literature

Literature

Death is Only a Beginning

Death is only a beginning for those still living the ones left behind are the ones who need the funeral and the body like a physical reminder of the existence of one who was so special. Broken hearts perhaps memories will fade yet still he's left reminders in the words left behind his emotion, his proof his footprint on the world may steadily fade when he has gone away but we will still be here where he once was and we will be the reminders of the impact a single person can have on the world composed of individuals connected by him and his life he has touched us left a mark and we will keep this mark until we join him.

Breathe by writeacrossme, literature

Literature

Breathe

I’ve known how to breathe all my life, at least that’s what I’ve been told. No one taught me no one showed me how I just opened my mouth and breathe in, breathe out. If I never had to learn how to live why does it sometimes feel so goddamn hard to fill my lungs and let go of everything like I’ve been born to do? Why did no one tell me about the earth and how it lives too, about how when I press my ear to the dirt I can hear it wheezing and crying all at once? Someone once told me that, someone once said that the Earth is alive and it inhales children’s footsteps and exhales the trees whispers and sighs the so

The Monarch's Goodbye by Sean-M-Hollows, literature

Literature

The Monarch's Goodbye

To the ties you're bound to From the words that guide you, All men will bow down. To the ties you cut From the lies they strut, All men will hunt your crown. Once destined Born to a legend, You must always keep your fame. Now hardened Grown like a garden, You must never forget your name. One to fight Never to flight, You'll become our hero yet. Known as a savage Holding no advantage, You've become our enemy met. Seen for prodigy Called to monarchy, Long live the king! Now you're dust Your sword to rust, Angels still willing to sing.

My Bio

I'm doing commissions (of sorts), if you're interested in a critique on a specific piece of writing please read the rules in my donations box and then let me know what you'd like me to critique!

Hi! It's me again. Welcome to my humble abode

It's not much, but it's something. I was formerly on here as Cranberry413, so if you remember that name, that's me! You're welcome to swing by from that account and let me know you're from there :)

I just wanted to start over fresh, so that's why I'm here with a new account! I'm hoping to transfer some stuff over from the old one soon, but in the meantime you can (hopefully) enjoy what little I have on here so far.

This account was originally going to be for just for writing buuuutttt I forgot how much I like photography and drawing and stuff so I figured I'd keep it as it's always been. Take a look through my gallery if you so please :)

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to leave me a comment on anything you find interesting, or just say hi down below. I always love talking to new people! :D

Stuff about me? I'm glad you find me that intriguing...

I like photography and writing, sometimes drawing if it turns out right... That's probably obvious.

I love to sing, but I don't want anyone ripping their ears off from the horror of it. So I don't sing publicly.

I can be a total spaz.

Sometimes I make no sense. Hopefully you're not the one I'm talking to when that happens.

Feel free to talk to me, I probably won't bite

Ask me something! I love questions. ask.fm/AmericanLass
