Electricity.

We're connected always by

the red string of fate.

Uninspired Poetry 10: The Film Edition - part 2

Bend It Like Beckham
Bend it like Beckham!
Mum thinks she's a lesbian.
Turns out she isn't.

Pirates of the Caribbean
Some enchanted coins.
Some enchanted skeletons.
Where has the rum gone?

Atonement
Young girl tells a lie.
Keira wears fancy dresses.
Tube floods and she dies.

Taken

This is an old flash fiction piece that I wrote and entered into a competition, which I completely forgot about until having a clear out of my word documents last night.

Taken

Her bare feet brush the patchwork of grass and soil beneath her: a slender figure swaying in the breeze, a dark shadow against the fiery orange of the setting sky. Later they will hear the angst riddled guitars that screech through her headphones and blame these unknown beings for taking her too soon.  Much too late, they will uncover the scars that her body bares while He sheds crocodile tears beside her grave.

Uninspired Poetry 9: The Film Edition

The Mummy
Corny one-liners.
Evil man snaked in the face.
Flesh eating beetles.

Scream 4
Webcam murderers.
Courtney Cox’s pillow face.
Dim bints run in heels.

Mean Girls
Oh my God; so fetch!
The limit does not exist.

Bitch hit by a bus.

Inglorious Bastards
"I want me some scalps."
Brad Pitt does a bad accent.

Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein!

I’m poor 

at twenty-five.
Washing my hair over
the kitchen-sink with DIY fringe.
Classic.

The days canter by.
Fuck-Fuck-Fuck-Fuck-Fuck-Fuck-Fuck
now that I’m older.

Sammy the Gravedigger

His teeth stung as they punctured her skin.

Samantha had always thought she knew exactly how this moment would go. The Hollywood-handsome stranger would swoop in; place one paper white finger under her chin, gently lifting it to expose her neck, while his other hand found a home on the small of her back. Then he would then lean in and drink her blood from an exposed vein in her neck. There may have involved some swooning on Samantha’s behalf, but she hadn’t made up her mind about that.

Unfortunately Samantha discovered that the harsh reality was; allowing an undead stranger to attach himself to her neck and extract blood from her was horrifically painful. Samantha was stood in an uncomfortable position for a prolonged period of time and the act itself was somewhat awkward and clumsy, especially when said handsome stranger couldn’t find a vein. In short, it was the least romantic thing Samantha had ever endured. Losing her virginity crashed in at a close second.

When Isaac eventually lifted his head, they stood in awkward silence before he cleared his throat, averted his eyes and muttered, ‘thanks.’
