The trainees of the boxing studio built a circle for the presentation.
Joe straightened himself up, aimed carefully, and took a long swing at the punching ball.
With a pang of pain, everything turned black.
He had not expected the ball to punch back. -
The loose floorboard...
Blessing to the mice who found a new home, safe from the neighbour's cat.
Curse to the burglar, who stumbled and fell, waking up the house and ending up in prison.
I've been meaning to fix it for ages.

I sit by the window and watch the day change #colour.
Winter grey transforms to late-afternoon gold that taints the remaining clouds orange, which turns to pink, and then to red.
As the sun sinks, it leaves a turquoise streak below dark umbra blue as the curtain falls.

He stared at the key hanging on the wall.
It was an old metal key, tarnished and worn, yet it had seen times that preceded his birthdate several generations.
If only the key to his heart was like this one. Solid. Lasting.
He would hand it to her.

Once I #arrive, I will start anew.
Once I am balanced, my dreams will come true.
Just wait until the time arrives.
Once I am there, I will thrive.
And so she spent day and days
for this moment to take place,
missing out on life. -

All dressed and ready to go, I took one last look at the bathroom.
The bathtub was dry and shiny, the white towel still in my hand, as I wanted to hang it for drying before I left.
I wished I was as unstained as that towel.

He stood and stared in horror at his beloved armchair.
Where he had spent cosy hours for years while reading his favourite books or watching the telly, the leather began to peel away on its own, exposing blood, and a skeleton.
Then he fell, as the ground opened.

The Difference Between Fear And Love
You think our encounter was a #mistake because all the stuff comes to the light, that was hidden in the darkest corners of our hearts.
I think it's a blessing because, in each other's presence, our light becomes so bright that it melts away this darkness.

She sat at the Café, and glanced at a picture of a woman with a coffee who eats a slice of ham.
It reminded her of her childhood, when the butcher always offered her a slice of veal sausage for free.
A little act of kindness that changed her view of the world.

They dreamed of travelling the #country along the Route 66, of desert dust and sea spray.
Life had different plans, had them explore its depths in the mundane experience of everyday life. They made it special - filled every single moment with love.
Until one lost faith.

There was a room at the dancing school with a dance floor, blue walls and a big window.
It never got used. Nobody knew why. In front of the window, a pair of black stilettos. A still life.
Except for when the full moon shone through the window...

He berated her, threatened her, and defamed her.
But no matter how much he clamoured about, she would not be provoked.
In the end, it was her calmness, that put a fine #point on his madness.

He stood in his Godzilla costume, hoping no one would notice.
It must have been fifty monsters, standing by the glade with champagne flutes, and listening to Mozart on an old gramophone.
He'd better not tell Momma. She'd just say it was all a dream, again.

I move through the day and concentrate on every task as if my life depended on it. Your smell still lingers with me - a spicy and sweet perfume. I could not shower it off.
But my #lipstick on the collar of your shirt will stay with you even longer.

She stared at the silver couch with the two silver, fish-shaped cushions. A poignant feeling overcame her. She felt like those fish - trying to look pretty while in truth being utterly out of place.
-
It's been raining for days and days.
Raindrops danced through the air, collected on the clover, and lined up on branches.
When finally the sun came out, they sparkled like jewels.
-
His hat pulled deep into his face, his contrabass strung on his back, he walked towards the village.
The white church steeple made an interesting contrast to his black silhouette.
Nobody noticed how his reflection took up its instrument and played a polka when he walked past a big puddle.

It was not an easy door to open.
When she did, #boundless possibilities became, the threshold a #liminal space between #illusion and potential. Arctic desert morphed to #tundra upon new #sentiments that #burnt away the shackles.
A pang of pain, an old #acquaintance, told her, it was not quite yet time to #celebrate.

When I #glance|d at the snow globe with the #fox & the hare #cozy|ing, #water filled my eyes. This #impression! I had my act together, the loose ends rolled up to a neat ball of thread, but some events #traumatize a person. I closed my eyes, confident I'd solve my mind's #puzzle.

The crows tell their tales. Leaves #crunch under feet on #dozy afternoons. #Spirit soars as Winter's bride passes by one last time. Silver, with a #train of golden leaves. #Floral reminiscence. #Fulcrum of season's turn, before the #grove goes to sleep. #Cure for a weary heart.

When the white hare appeared, snow began to fall. It sizzled, when the white flakes got near the couch on the field, that was burning like bridges. The #maize was already harvested, most of it to be used as #fodder for cattle. ...

… The air by the apple trees was redolent of #cider. When the #ground under her feet brought back #tact, she realised she had #misplace|d the matter. It didn't belong in the head. Only the heart could heal it.

The day started golden before #gray clouds moved in. Wind lifted leaves and sand fine like #powder. #Entwined in a dance, they twirled through the streets and #garbled the view. When his arms slid around her, she felt a surge like #fireworks. It was those #stolen moments that maintained her #resilience.

It was a day in #early #November. Somewhere, she heard a crow #lament, mirroring her #constitution. Picking shades from the #kaleidoscope on the pallet, she painted light into the grey, letting the darkness #contract and #fold.

When your world turns black, see through the illusion, so the thorn in your side won't become your gravestone. Take the thrill of the pain to wake up from the graveyard. Don't dread the darkness. Be the light. It's #Halloween, and the veils are thin tonight.

I tell my engineer husband
"If you put legs on a computer
and programmed it to jump off a cliff
it will do exactly that."
It does whatever its creator tells it.
No free will, no independent thought.
Stupid bloody #machine. -
She sees the dragon and does not blink. The monster stares at her, opens its mouth, and breathes fire.
For a moment, panic rises inside, like the flames that surround her. She can feel the migration of atoms in her body, changing her, but not causing harm. One cannot deny the sigil has worked. No esoteric cult did this, but merely an open heart filled with love.
The flames ebb away, and the dragon smiles.

We #close the door to the #whirlwind of the world, to exchange views over tea and scones, grasping for this space that is ours, and ours alone. After the #sun sets, we look at a now #clear sky, #replete with #stars.

#Shorn of everything I thought I knew, I raise my #head to the #infinite sky. A sinking sun causes it to #blush. By the wayside, #aster's purple intensifies before the day goes to #rest. The echo of the #crunch fades while I let go of #opinion.

I screamed to see it gone, but the pain persisted. With it, a #deluge of emotions surged through my body until I cried a #serenade. A #frame of relief to #outfit me, before everything melted down to a #soup of agony, its weight about to #squash me. The room started to #spin, then all was #black.

With #scathing tongue, you #carve your memory on my soul. White #laundry on the line, #sapphire sky turns black.
They say hard knocks #forge you. But how can I love my #neighbour if I can't love myself?
Remembering how life once was #colourful, I spread my wings and stop #falling.---

Casting #shred by shred of whom I used to be into the cauldron, I let it #bubble with a bit of spice. Full moon rises when I root deep into #rock bottom, my #net spread wide while I #lift my head to the #blueberry sky.
