“vow 2 u” by Dayzgone Bye

Submitted to Contest #105

I could hear her in the chaos, taking her breath. Guns drawn, not yet blazing, and I said, “Are you gonna be okay with this?” She looked at me. I wanted to say, Yeah, of course I’m talking to you. But she knew. She always knew. The first bullet fired, ripping through the air. “Are you okay?” she asked me. I glanced down. No. Nothing was all right — not the endless violence and not the war wagering and not the here she was in harm’s direction not two years after my vow to protect her against every kind of bad.  “I love you.” I sa...

“elf girl, sleep” by Dayzgone Bye

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” He looked at me and nodded once, waving his hand, gesturing for me to come inside. He gave me a smile and I gave it right back, touching my hair. It felt right, finally, hitting my shoulders in all the right places, resting comfortably down my back. I scooped a strand from my eyes and hid it behind my ear. The scent of honey and grape leaves, he reeked of an old photo album, the kind you never quite finish creating. I leaned in, touching the cotton fabric of his shirt, straightening his collar. “There.

"Do you love me?" She blinked a few times, ignorant to the fact th...

I could see her. She was standing right beside me, her sea foam eyes blinking against tears that only seemed to call when happiness arrived, never sadness.   I smiled and nodded vaguely toward her. "Happy?" I – how would she have put it? – let go of the reins.   Finally.   She reached over, touching my hand.

Author bio

To be honest, I don't have much to offer as far as an interesting bio is concerned. I'm not really, in the spirit of keeping things true, all that intriguing of a guy. I listen to music, play the piano. (As well as guitar, dobro, and a smidgen of harmonica.) I watch anime and write, and I'm grateful to have stumbled across an opportunity such as this one — the chance for writers to write, readers to read, and artists to share!
