There is something undeniably disturbing about the first time the full effect of the world sinks in. The awkward discomfort during the first encounter with someone who is unnecessarily rude. The anxious twisting of intestines after getting caught in a lie. The stone-heavy guilt pitted in the stomach after seeing a neglected child. Every time the world gets uncomfortably vivid, you become slightly more damaged. This constant traumatizing of one's perception leads to some bizarre shit. Despite ...

Every strong woman stumbles Making her way through the hedge maze Of men holding her back, staring at her rack They don't cut any slack when getting her into the sack She pours out her heart, a seeping womb of Feminine empathy towards those who just don't give a fuck. They suck the life from her tits From her collagen lips And her hourglass hips Which all could look better If she only tried harder to please To get on her knees To isolate her womanly disease All for men, she bleeds, she cries ...

Short Story / Pattengill
Version 1

The sun was bleeding all over the damn place. This wasn’t right. What had happened to the gray clouds that had canopied the tiny snow-globe that Pattengill Wallace had worked so hard to enclose himself in? It had only been a week since he’d been home, and sunshine never had invoked any sense of inspiration, nor was it conducive for the self-pity and wallowing shame Patten had practically trademarked. No, this wouldn’t do. All that clean, reflective ice that sheeted the ground would turn into...

Love it! The whole bit about the eyebrows was hilarious, it definitely gave a vivid picture. Your description of the the characters was dead-on. I wish I had more to criticize. It was a fun, fresh story with an original, yet believable plot. Your wordplay at the beginning was fun, but maybe a little thick in some places, making the sentences long. Kudos!

I don't have much knowledge about scripts, but from what I read I am a little confused. I think it is the start of something that is much more complex and deep, but from this small section it is hard to see where it is going (or even where it comes from)
Wow--this is incredibly powerful imagery. I like the repeated image of the tree a lot. Your use of vocabulary flows well enough that even without a rhyme scheme, it rolls off the tongue effortlessly. I wish I had some constructive feedback for you, but I am just pretty much in awe of your writing right now.
Absolutely amazing. This paints one of the most (grotesquely) vivid pictures I've seen out of poetry in a long time. The flow is really nice as well! Kudos, I'd love to read more!
Non-fiction / Six Word Memoir
That six-word piece almost made me cry. I know the feeling, it just happened to me recently as well. I think every single digital-age writer can relate to this...
