  5. Deep Dark Chilling & Freaky.
    Yum, I just wish that your narrative was a bit fleshier. Longer isn’t always better though. You freeze-frame images, emotions. . . . Thanks

    1. Some of my pieces are longer. “Misery” and “Anything Else” are recent examples. And, I do write fiction. There’s different depths I like to take. Freeze frames, as you said, then more involved, into stories, essays, discussions, and books. 😊

      1. So I see. You make an enjoyable read. Your commentary on “13 Reasons . . . ” is pretty brave considering the subject matter. I have personal experience of 11 suicides, 3 of them in front of me. I’m not brave enough to put finger to keyboard though. Well done. p

  10. I know what you mean! Sometimes the thought of one of my most painful experiences comes out of nowhere and brings me right back to that place, no matter how I thought I’d moved on or gotten past it.

  12. “creep up the back
    of your neck like cold,
    dead fingers that haunt you.”

    Giving me some Lestat vibes with this piece! Gives me the shivers! Brilliant! ❤

  14. Amazing verses. It makes me think how some moments are like mysterious creatures that blind you and magnify those distant past. Such a chilling and beautiful poem.

  19. Again, no one else can do what you do with so few words and such pressing subject matters:

    “creep up the back
    of your neck like cold,
    dead fingers that haunt you.”

    This gave me chills, Sarah.
