Glasses Remain

His glasses were all that now remained, his body probably washed away by the tide as he had walked into it like a child to the bosom of it's mother.

The glasses glistened in the sunshine, as it sparkled like a beacon as they lay on the crisp, moist, sand as he had left them there with the pile of clothes down by the beach, naked as has he entered.

He could no longer go on with life, it had no meaning to him, so he decided this was the best way, by the sea which has always been Peter's favourite place as a child growing up.

Peter had been a misfit, someone who didn't seem to fit in, the geek as they called him, the one they pointed at and laughed and who never had a girlfriend. He was only nineteen, the whole world was it his feet, but now all that remained were his glasses and the footprints left by him, as he had walked down to the beach.

Peter was now gone.

The Evil Step Mother’s Point of View - Cinderella

 ‘I hate you, you old bag’ she screamed as she threw the bowl across the room. I had made her favourite dish soup, which I had spent ages cooking in the kitchen. Her father had told me that it was going to be hard to be accepted as her new mother, but this was much harder than I had imaged. ‘Mum we have tried, I offered to give her my new dress’ said Gemma. ‘I said that I would take her to the ball with us’ said Louisa. ‘What can we do? She calls us UGLY sisters, it’s so cruel cried Pamela.    I hugged my three daughters closely, I wanted Cinderalla to accept us as we had with her. But she hated us, calling me a ‘wicked stepmother’ and slamming doors. She would cry and portray us as ogres. With the arrival of the Prince inviting us to go to the ball, I even tried to invite her but she was spoilt and rude. ‘I don’t want to go, you old bag, GET LOST’ she shouted. ‘I will get there myself’ she stormed off as usual to her room. ‘I miss my mum, you marrie...

Is It?

http://www.creativewritingink.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/victor-duenas-teixeira-423539.jpg Is it her soul which evaporates from her, into a smoke, puff huff and it disappears? Is it some magic trick performance that vanishes into a smoke, puff huff and it relishes into nothing. Is it a wish from a some dandelions from her hands into a smoke, puff huff and they disappear? Is it something burning some twigs holding into smoke, puff and huff that fade away like a sphere of smoke? Whatever it is in her hands, she holds the power and control to erase, puff and huff and watch that steam go into the wind and to perish and become distinct and embrace the new beginnings of her life.

Patrick vs David

‘I can see the water underneath me. Whoops, ha ha, Patrick you are useless,’ said David. ‘Shut up! David, leave me alone,’ said Patrick, ‘stop talking, it is a continuous buzzing,’ he screams internally within himself.    David was always there, like a wasp stinging into his brain, the constant ‘chatter’ was there. He wanted to switch it off but he could not. ‘Have you tried mindfulness?’ asked Professor Lofney, with his glasses that he wore at end the of his long nose that looked like a twig. He crossed his legs and sat in the chair. He looked like a regal King and had a touch of superiority with his tone that was pretentious. Patrick winced at the word mindfulness, he had tried that but it never Worked. It was the new craze that applied around a method to sit down, breathe, concentrate on the here and now.    David would not let him sit still, he would regularly interrupt him take him away from the moment.
