Reality
Reality
There are times
when the walls close in
and there’s nowhere left to hide
from the awful realness of life.
When nothing looks more appealing
than the deep amber relief
and the sweet oblivion that waits
at the bottom of the bottle.
Then I seek the solace
of your arms
and there find my reprieve
from the horrors of the world
Where once again,
the monsters of reality are tamed
and I see all the promise
of happily ever after
reflected in your eyes.

Out the Window
For the FFfAW photo prompt above
Out the Window
The rain had been falling all morning, causing condensation on the inside of the car window. Julia tried to look out it, but just couldn’t. She knew where they were going. She didn’t need to see it. Soon they entered the little pocket of urban gardens and backyard pools that once she had called home.
Julia wiped a bit of the moisture from the passenger’s window and peered out. She knew all too well the ugliness that lurked just beneath the peaceful facade. The lies, lust, and greed permeated the very air clinging to the window. Silver Hollow, home of beautiful houses, manicured lawns and well tended gardens. And the most grisly double murder in the history of the county. The murder of her parents.
They turned down the lane. Plop, plop plop, the rain fell like fat tears and Julia watched out the window.

Kraken – Multi prompt micro fiction
The tempestuous sea roiled with heavy waves. The ship, her grace and bearings lost, surrendered to the wild pitch and yaw. Jack stood braced against the mast for stability. He had sent Helen below for safety before the storm had intensified.
As he tried desperately to batten down the remaining open hatches, he glimpsed something through the pouring rain. Jack paused and watched, the rolling waves were interrupted by a suspiciously bland circle. As he watched in horror, a huge maelstrom formed, lined with triangular protrusions. What the?!? Were those TEETH???
The Kraken opened it’s huge maw and swallowed the little boat whole. A suitable way to retaliate for the intrusion into it’s sacred waters.
Based on the following prompts:
RDP grace
FOWC stability
WOTD tempestuous
DAP retaliate
Till next time ~Peace ~JPP
