“The bleeding manuscript” by A.J Blink

Submitted to Contest #46

Damnable manuscripts, they should know all the reasons to remain unnoticed and yet, they spar with all the effrontery only afforded a royal dogma. Why they would try to flaunt their angles unexpectedly, I am fretful to consider, and yet, just now, one of them is saving me, once again, after such a long time. Before now, I refused to retract my indifference. They're mine after all and sadly, I've seen their ruinous hands.But not today.Today, I'll allow for a fair share of perseverance needed to unseat my...

“Let's paint...BLACK” by A.J Blink

Submitted to Contest #45

It's brighter from that side. Sometimes I hate to think to blink repeatedly. Maybe I'm distant or maybe bleakness went a little too far. Like a rare breed, I could scatter myself around the earth. But I like it better when I am behind closed doors. I like it better when it's only me in this earth, left standing, left painting with all the colors of me.But that color isn't so many. In reality, it's just one. In my imagination, it's a thousand. They laugh at my one-sided masterpiece and grumble over the s...

“My ocean, my sun, my moon” by A.J Blink

Submitted to Contest #45

I live in an ocean and it has all the colors of the sun and moon. Sometimes, it's gaping and shallow, and at other times, it's discreet and telling. Don't snort. You see my ocean, it's as bluntly encompassing as your eyes can see. I hate it but I just want to love it too. It's my ocean after all.Do you recall me saying that with my ocean, you can paint all the tints of the sun? That's the most common occurrence around. The locals even have a tale for every color. My ocean, I'm sure has to be the first there is as hot as ...

“Goodbyes when you remember” by A.J Blink

Submitted to Contest #44

Dear man, I looked up at the skies today and I could only think of running to your side. That luminous body would not retract from mocking at me from up there, and picking at my insecurities. Then I spent a lost hour tinkering over matters like this and that.Hopefully, I'll get around figuring out the best way to say goodbye. It's never easy. Why would everyone even expect me to start moving on from it? I can barely send you off and yet I'm expected to start moving forward?In my dream, and as usual, I walked to yo...

“The Sixth thorn” by A.J Blink

Submitted to Contest #44

It was a cold austere November evening when Lady Rosaline Roberts decided she was better off without happy endings. The clock advertently chimed six overhead her just at that moment the resolution positioned, and her fate was sealed, or so it seemed. Still, a little fire stoked relentlessly in the core of her indifference, apparent by the glare her eyes would emit and the sharp breath she would draw when someone, jokingly smears her with the endowment “sixth thorn.” It was a name she never would consider getting accustome...

Author bio

I love a mystery, any day, any time. It builds apprehension and causes you to sit at the edge of your chair. That's why, relativley, my choice of movies follow that soothe. I find myself twisting all the conjectures in my head and enjoying the suspense that goes with it. It's no wonder I'm a mystery writer. It gets way easy twisting stories up in my head, hoping it's what I imagine and watching things happen in a blink! You guessed right. That's exactly why I call myself Blink. Welcome into my world. You Blink, I'm gone!
