Numb To The World

He stared out at the water from the shore yearning for something… anything. The night sky had done little to stir his heart. The gleaming light from the stars and moon cascaded across the surface of the water, but he could not see the beauty. Endless black was all he could see in the water. The blood stains on his dark pants seemed to light up in the night alongside the stars as if taunting him. I’m still here, it whispered to him. I will always be here. He suddenly ripped the clothes from his body to escape the blood and the taunting. He stood bare in front of the moon and the water, wondering if it could ever go back to the way it was. Splotches of dirt and blood stained his body from head to toe.

He began to slowly walk into the lake and tried to feel the sensation of the cool water on his body. The grime that had covered him had started to fall from his body as he went further into the dark water. The water brought comfort to his battered and scarred corpse.

Starting Up Once Again

I haven’t written too much in several months now and I’ve been feeling like I’m caught in a rut and I can’t find my way out. My friend thought it might be a good idea for me to blog and get my creative juices flowing again. I had nothing to lose, so I decided to go for it. My hope is that I will be posting a piece once a week at least. I would prefer two, but I’m going to start slow. There might be a week where I have a new piece every other day or there might be a week where I have to take off. This is just to get my ideas out there and find some people who enjoy my writing or can offer some constructive criticism to my style.

That’s basically everything I wanted to open up with. For those of you who do end up becoming readers of my blog, I hope you enjoy the pieces and comment on them. I want to hear what you have to say and any advice you may have. Check back soon for my first written piece. Ciao.
