The Cop and The Prosecutor by kaleidofish, literature

Literature

The Cop and The Prosecutor

Professionalism didn't afford them the freedom to know each other beyond their roles. He was the Cop; she was the Prosecutor. Together, they formed a two-pronged force of law and order that worked outside of the usual channels. Some called them the clean-up crew, the janitors that would cover up and bury any bad incident necessary. Their clients were typically pretty boy celebrities trying to get off scot-free for DUIs, politicians caught in prostitution ring scandals, and, on occasion, businessmen who wanted to crush their competitors. The Prosecutor's skills lied in shifting the blame to unsuspecting third parties. As the daughter of the c

Literature

freedom.

freedom is as freedom does bound in an intricate belt system that loops under the arms and restricts the knees it goes through the valleys that dip low and runs close to the "whoopsie don't look or touch there" space masquerading this co-creation as a masterpiece when it's a fistful of petals and desecration with the colors squeezed out to accelerate the pale yellow that functions as flesh beneath the bone the binds are too tight grip the rubber harder between the teeth bitter material imprinted on the tongue flakes off when the molar grinds too much the binds are too tight chafe the rope wound around the wrists rough strands scratching o

Literature

decided to become an artist

"I've decided to become an artist" but that's not something you decide to try + strive for. it's supposed to spark ALIVE in you not struggle and writhe in you like some broken snake all out of slither and choked up with withered leather. meandering in the crook of the cranny, you can't uncover creativity from the spaces that don't {exist} hodge-podge a collage with your fingers half-glued to the table bent over with a fork in the leg to activate null-spiration perspiration when you recoil from the burn that subsides when you rinse out your eyes. unfinished dreams bounce out of a throat filled with tinsel taffeta wratheta take your pick of

Body of Art

Your lofty goals have made you complacent with meek eyes to the sky rather than to the foreground inspiration's hard to come by but you've found a source in this listless girl Irreplaceable gifts full of fingerprints... huddled inside of the secondary compartment; touched more than seen. touched more than felt. I liked you far better, that time before we stripped our shadows bare - nothing more than a pile of clothes crumpled in the corner - something except not anymore. We skipped the hand holding and the merry wish-making, preferring to cover ourselves in shiney-eyed artistic uncertainty. (I can tell loads of stories about th

Literature

Hong Kong

Steph had her back to him, as if to block Geoff out entirely. He wished he hadn't said anything; he should've kept on talking about the weather, instead of admitting he had taken the offer. The painful sob that escaped her broke the silence in the room. Geoff reached for her shoulder. "Leave me alone," she said, refusing to turn around. "Listen to me." It was ironic how the darkest moment of his life was taking place in the brightest room in his house. "I had to take the job. We need the money." Geoff tried to reason with her. "You have to trust me." "Don't you dare tell me what we need. We don't exist." Her words cut through him. He

One a Day at 10 AM

Life as she knew it was over. One risky night rendered her dreams of stardom aflame. She'd been fighting so hard to get out of the Podunk town she'd grown up in, and now the test in the trash bin would tether her to the world of PTA meetings, frumpy clothes, and dull hair. Escape wasn't an option anymore. It had been her boss' fault. He had to talk to her about misplaced papers alone, after work. She kissed him first. If it hadn't have been for the look he gave her, she wouldn't have ever done anything more than that. She wasn't that kind of girl... except she was and the stupid pills didn't work the right way. One a day at 10 AM. She happ

Literature

Beyond the Train Tracks

Jack's mother warned him to never go beyond the train tracks. He asked her why. "That's where the welfare trash lives," she said. "They're not good people." He wrinkled up his nose. "Trash? What makes them stink?" "Because they're free loaders who accept hand-outs instead of working for a living," she answered as she scraped bits of meat loaf off of her son's plate and into the trash. "Don't you dare go over there." Jack didn't listen to her. He figured if they stunk, that meant they were cool enough to get away with not taking a bath. His mom never let him go anywhere without one. He had to meet these people! Instead of going straight ho

Lion Heart by Concora, literature

Literature

Lion Heart

It is building up deep within her fragile body like a heaving monsoon forming over the dry, cracked, heavy heat of an African savannah; an unforgiving and all-consuming storm desperately willing to drown out its less than fleeting welcome. Flickering with ceaseless coils of skin-searing energy like a grey-faced fugitive's adrenaline stricken heartbeat, it is not a bringer of life, but a threat to it—and even the most reckless are hardwired to take flight in the face of such a colossal and uncompromising foe. Beyond these white-washed walls, the world would have her believe that she is brave, a lioness, an exception confronted

Thrill by monstroooo, literature

Literature

Thrill

She felt it every time. The rush. The adrenaline. The thrill. It was an accidental discovery. She hadn't meant to... it just sort of worked itself out. There she was, cramped up on the tube with everyone else, when Jane noticed the neck of the girl in front of her. It was beautiful. Such clean, soft skin, lightly peppered with hairs, snaking down to the secrets held underneath her pinkish collar. No-one was looking. And they were all packed in so close together. So she just gave it a little lick. Just a light brush with the tongue. A dab. She barely even made contact - just the faintest of pecks. And it was beautiful. The lady barely ev

The Barrow Rider by DamonWakes, literature

Literature

The Barrow Rider

The thing had eyes like embers, arms like ash boughs, and it carried itself in a wheelbarrow. Liam had heard it before he'd seen it: that one creaking wheel echoing plaintively through the trees. Then had come the eyes, twin sparks that did not shine so much as suck away the dark. Then the arms, lanky and rotting, drawing the rusting chariot ahead. Reach, squeal, stop. Reach, squeal, stop. Caught momentarily in the glare of the campfire, its image was the only thing he could see as he turned and fled into the darkness. Fear became his compass, the needle swinging wildly as he couldn't tell which direction to make his escape in. Without his f

0 min read

Figured I should finally update my journal because I haven't updated it since my "Fine, Fine, Fine" story got a Daily Deviation. My aim this year is to get more involved with Lit things around DA. I'm also using this space to practice my writing, since lately my writing's been limited to business things at work, roleplaying, and VN writing. I miss traditional story writing! Thanks for visiting. This journal entry is likely to stay here for a long while. The best places to stay updated on me are listed below. ~~~ Other places to find me: http://www.ouroborosconnect.net - My website (my VN making devblog is there too!) http://www.twitter.c

0 min read

I'm still speechless. Thank you so much, everyone, for all of your favorites, comments, and watches. I'm going to personally respond to everyone that's left a comment as soon as I'm finished writing this entry. It's crazy to scroll down a huge list of beautiful DD artwork and then see words - YOUR words, right there amongst every one else's awesomeness. I can't believe this...especially because I'm so new to the site, haven't gotten myself involved very much yet, and so many other things. I mean, look at how plain my DA page looks. You can tell I'm new to all of this. Seriously, *thank you* everyone. I never would have guessed that I'd ever
