Spark

It's there!I can feel it!In my fingers, each little fingerAlive with a light, a bright warm lightInternally.What is this feeling?This feelingOf light, soft light, gentle light, a strength I never knew...What is it?Light. OrLoss. OrFire?A spark.A spark in my fingertips, running up my arms, a spark in my core. In my heart. In my heart.

Submitted to Contest #29

"BROOOOOO!" James shouted. "That was so lit!"Sean shook water out of his eyes, face gleaming. "It was?""You're like- a total natural bro!"Sean blushed. "Aw, bro, it's really all your doing.

I've never told you

This may seem stereotypical. Or maybe ironic. I'm not sure.The biggest secret I've never told the people I love is how much I love them. I have all these amazing friends. I love them all so much. They make me smile and laugh, we play games together, we act together, we watch movies together. We have fun together. Being with my friends is one of the best experiences ever.But whenever the time comes to tell them this I freeze up.How do you tell someone that you appreciate their grounding presence? That you appreciate their energy, their smiles...

Around scene five even I felt when the audience suddenly realized that things were not going to turn out well. That drop in the stomach. The silence. Dread. A ruined potato town, followed by an eye gouging scene, followed by an endgame reverence that probably hit most people a bit two close to home, and topped off with the bad guy eating yam fries when we'd just watched potatoes we'd thought...
