“An empty bottle” by N Martin

“Everything is changing “ I stare into my glass, mumbling those words to myself. “How can I continue? Where do I go from here?” “What do I do now that you’re gone?” It was only yesterday you lay beside me. It was only yesterday I looked into your eyes as I rubbed your feet on the sofa. You would periodically look up to me, removing yourself from your book to smile softly at me, to show your ap...

“Distance” by N Martin

The idea was simple really.I knew what to get you instantly, like a flash of lightning. I’d had it all planned out, every tiny detail. It would have been perfect. I would have called you Christmas day, your birthday, to tell you your gift will be coming late. That you will get it later when I came to see you again in January. I would have built up your curiosity, the suspense. I would have wished you merry Christmas. I would have said happy birthday.I would have talked to you for as long as you wanted that day, be it ...

They just went to see the new romcom she was pestering him about, and he finally caved. Today was their second anniversary, just a couple they weren’t yet married.

“Red tears” by N Martin

A blood churning cry echoes through the night, the only light source coming from a half moon hidden by clouds, barely Illuminating the ocean below it and white sands of the rolling dunes behind. Jessica panics when she hears the first horrifying scream. A sharp, high-pitched screech causing her to look over her shoulder. The moon was not bright enough to light her way. She was blind, regretful, and soaking wet. In her intoxicated stupor she had stumbled a little too close to the crashing waves, eventually tripping over her own feet and fa...
