literature

Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.

Adam, Eve and the psychedelic apple
« You’re a good girl » he said. And the first time he said it, she was so. An A+ student, traveling exotics places two times a years, doing surf and all other kind of cool stuffs. A pretty long blond curly hair spending her time enjoying the facts she was young and adventurous.

Rachel walked down to the dining hall filled with costumers settling down for their supper for the night, my father was seated in the right side of the room with a small group of people. A man, tall, dark haired. He was dressed in loose-fitting shirt and trousers, he was with a woman a bit shorter than him, dressed in a dark misty brown dress. her hair tied up in a tight bun in the back of her head. and another man, almost equally as tall. Dressed the same, with pepper grey hair.

A Night With No Stars
Finally, my time had arrived. I’d been planning this for two and a half years, testing every theme, planning every detail, tasting every dish, agonizing over the perfect music. This would be the evening that I’d finally get to see it all together. All I could do now was hope that it was going to look like the night of my dreams. After all the time I spent getting myself ready, I was prepared to experience it all with fresh eyes, right next to the people I cherished most that were already waiting inside.

The shadows of us
It’s 2 AM and my breathing is starting to pick up. Am I panicking? Am I fighting for too much right now? Maybe the world around me is caving in, I can hear my heartbeat, and I don’t doubt that wherever you are, you can hear it too. You’re outside, you’re across the house, you’re in the other room, you’re across the counter. You inch closer and closer, my breathing gets deeper, suddenly there is a pit in my stomach. Am I going to puke, maybe it’s from the alcohol?

Amber and Mary Jane
There she sat, her long brown hair cascading down, her jacket caped over her short shorts, fishnet stockings hugging her legs, and her sturdy black combat boots. A No Smoking sign sat on the table beside her, but she disregarded it, holding a joint between her fingers, purposely keeping the words out of her view. If others could comprehend the torment she had endured over the past year—the unimaginable loss of her entire family, her beloved husband and three precious children—they would withhold judgment about her recent behavior. They would remember the kind-hearted person and devoted mother she truly was.

Rain 1.0
Willia m's POV I walked through the pathway in the middle of Central park, I swung my cane forward and backward, while nodding at the people walking by. I check my pocket watch one last time before agreeing with myself that it will no longer work, I let out a soft sigh and turn to look into the pond in the middle of the park and I gave the near by people a small smile. I find it a comfort that they don't know who I am, a passerby, a stranger whom could take away all of their dignity at once, someone who could give them anything their hearts desire in an instant... But they will never know this. I give them a nod before turning and making my way out of the park and into a near by coffee shop, I walk over to the counter and order my usual double double, as I am waiting for my drink I walk over to a table and pull out my phone to scroll through my social media. "Ding" The door opens, leaving the bell to make its noise of the usual costumers walking in and out. "Can I get a large French Vanilla?" a soft voice rang out, it sounded familiar yet new to me. From centuries ago, filled with authority yet sounds so filled with caution as if she was unsure of herself. I looked up from my phone and nearly choked of the air that I breathed, "Rachel?" I asked quietly to myself. It couldn't be her, she had been deceased for centuries. I watch the woman stand against the counter one hand resting with her hand on her chin, her elbow on the counter. Her other hand tapping lightly on the counter as she spoke to the barista, I quickly bring my phone up and take a picture of the woman. Quietly hoping to myself that I would meet the woman again in the future, "Double Double!" the Barista shouted I got up and made my way over to the counter to grab my drink. After taking it I look at the woman, whom had her eyes on me as well. I smiled and nodded slightly before turning and walking away out of the coffee shop making my way back to my apartment.

a better fate
The urgency in their voice was new. They were used to having panic, a whole generation permanently fucked by their parents. Now it was just getting worse. It was like the more and more kids were going missing every week. Now it was their turn.

A Bride’s End
I can just hold in this jittering feeling as I stand, gazing at the rectangular mirror in the far left of the room. My luminous reflection stares back at me, painting a portrait of a cheerful yet anxious bride in the silvery gleam. I twirl around in my dress, relishing my time alone for a little longer.

The Neighbor
It’s 9:30 on a Friday morning and I’m going through my usual routine. Wake up, feed Luna (my kitten), brush my teeth, complete my morning skincare routine, shower, get dressed in the most rad rocker chic ensemble, make breakfast, and leave for work. I managed to do this without flaw countless times for the last 6 months but for some god forsaken reason unbeknownst to me I can’t put my eyeliner on without my mirror vibrating. “Uuuuggghhh!!! I’m going to murder that boy!” I yell as I pound on the wall for him to turn his music down. I finish my makeup and stomp over to my neighbors house. I bang on the door, “Julius!? You better open this door!! I’ve had it up to my ears with you!” I scream. The door swings open and I stop my rant to take in the 6’4 tattooed GOD that stood before me. He looked at me up and down and I did the same to him admiring his wet blonde curls and his glistening tan skin. I shook myself back to reality and asked him to turn his music down. “Julius do you mind just letting me make it through my routine first? Love the music, truly, but please just keep it down?” He turned his music down and looked at me up and down. “Yeah. I’ll keep it down...if you do something for me in return.” A smirk appeared upon his face and there was lust in his eyes. He leaned in and pulled me close to him. He whispered in my ear, “I know you want me Lila. I know you want...it.” He says as he places my hand at the opening of his towel. “Ju-I-I need to leave” I stuttered trying to pull away. “Lila it’s the first Friday of the month. You’re off.” He says guiding my hand. I start to panic a bit and he pulls me into his chest. Gosh he smells good. I kiss his chest softly and wrap my arms around his neck. He leans in for a kiss and I happily take it. Things get a bit crazy and I somehow ended up with a broken finger. Here we are at the hospital waiting for a doctor. “Uh...I’m so sorry about you finger Lila.” Julius says. What happened you ask? Ha! Well! We got hot and heavy and he picked me up to do a cool move that involved the couch but he slipped on the wet floor and his fallen towel and I broke his fall thus breaking my pinky finger. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. I mean, other than that time I was caught picking my boogers at work but that’s a whole different story. I actually kinda liked Julius but then this crazy thing happens. Ugh what the heck?! I go to say something but I’m harshly interrupted by a dying dog. “Julius?! Julius baby?! Oh god are you okay?!” Baby?! What?! I stare at him as he went pale and hugged the ginger girl. “Minnie this is my neighbor Lila she helped me with the moving and stuff.” He says with his head down. “Oh sweetheart thank goodness you were there to help my fiancé! I’m glad you both are okay!” She says hugging me. Fiancé?! But he just-! We were just about to-! Ugh! What in the fu-?! “Lila Montesella? You’re good to go hun. The doctor wants you to go to the pharmacy on your way out. Be easy sweets.” says the gum chewing nurse from the Bronx. I brush by Julius and he grabs me by the arm. “Lila can we just-?” I grab his shirt by the collar and pull him down to my face (I’m literally 5’3 but whatevs) I look him in the eyes and say “Keep. Your damn. Music. DOWN!” I walk out to the parking lot and call an Uber as I, again for some reason unbeknownst to me, cry about my neighbor. Stupid neighbors. Stupid boys.
