For Izzy's out of standard prompt on monsters at Real Toads.
I will take
your life in trickles and half ass mockeries
You’ll stand
only when flies light on my eyelids to feed and propagateThese slivers of pain cost me nothing, but will drain your emotional pocket book
My life lessons will grant permanent creases in your polyester future
Stand up,
stand up
Physical
pain pales with the heat from the sunStand up, stand up
But I am standing, low stool, dry rope
The backhand
labeled “Mothers Love” always finds purchase
Bruises the
color of ochre jelly gone rancid and crystallineCarbon fiber character is not enough to mute the rabid cats
And the belly of the beast becomes a favorite resort destination
Stand up,
stand up
Physical
pain a sorely needed loverStand up, stand up
But I am standing, low stool, dry hope
oh, damnation Corey. that is wicked... ~
ReplyDeleteDifficult to stand up in the face of such hatred and contempt. This is uncomfortably real, Corey.
ReplyDeleteAnd NO. Wire. Hangers. EVER!!!!!!
ReplyDelete"These slivers of pain cost me nothing, but will drain your emotional pocket book" I never heard it put so well, and believe me, I've lived it.
There is no worse monster than that. Wowzers!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, great write.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now this is seriously scary.

Please mommy dearest no more!! "Bruises the color of ochre jelly gone rancid and crystalline"....scary. You always delight even when it is horror.
ReplyDeleteYikes! Horror, totally undercut by polyester creases! Ha.
ReplyDeleteYes my emotional pocket book is drained also. Well put.
ReplyDeletehey leave my polyester future alone! or am i being a pollyanna?
ReplyDeletelove this, Corey. been missing your voice.
Really chilling--you definitely remind us the real, most terrifying monsters are simply other people. I like the line Shay quoted, and also the half-ass mockeries, trickles, and the belly of the beast looking surprisingly vacation worthy. A fine, hair-curling write, Corey.
ReplyDelete"Christina....bring me the axe!" was my favorite movie line for years. Like what you have done here, Rowley, and I love that the prompt got you to write something--I m still shamefully blocked--. Loved the line about life lessons leaving permanent creases on polyester furniture. Well done bucko and viva la
ReplyDeletePowerful.
ReplyDeleteLove this:
"Bruises the color of ochre jelly gone rancid"
Great use of that color!
Love the line "these slivers of pain cost me nothing...." So true of venomous mothers!
ReplyDeletePowerful - hair raising most likely because this is often all too real!
