Lacking Inspiration for a Creative Artist

Writing Sparkle1 Comment

The desk around me is littered with stationary debris. The isolation created by half-walls isn’t lost on me.  I feel uninvited as I sit here, a squatter at someone else’s desk, casting about for inspiration. However, I find nothing under the dim lighting beyond the impression of stormy clouds nor can I find anything in… Continue reading Lacking Inspiration for a Creative Artist

Coffee & Inevitability

The hot liquid rolls through my mouth punctuating its presences with a sharp pungent taste that makes that first sip shocking.

I’ve been back to the bookstore’s exterior a number of times… Continue reading Z is not the end of the alphabet! – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Yearning I’ll always question how it ended. Olivia blindfolded me. It was soft and silky. Glitter guided me. I followed unresisting to the front of the bookstore blindfolded as if I might see something I shouldn’t or perhaps remember the way back. Heightened senses made the worn carpet feel like grass. The air smelled rich… Continue reading Yearning – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

X-Factor Everything felt like a dream. Only the park bench beneath me felt real. I sat waiting for the sign on the bookstore to read open. I sat day after day. The sign never changed. The door remained locked. The possibilities of what was going on inside was endless. Glitter’s smile and Olivia’s hug of… Continue reading X-Factor – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories
