  3. iT was a bleak winter. More than the cold it carried with it an eerie feeling of loneliness and isolation. Roger thought about it for a moment before joining the ranks of the brave few who had the courage to venture out in this weather. While the snow ploughs piled the snow like indestructible banks, they also managed to cut off the few homes on that street from the life driving by.

  9. it was a bleak and dreary morning. the fog had rolled in from the ocean. no one had ventured out of their homes. the only sounds were the bleak and ominous cries of the gulls.

  11. A sunset scape a halter’s cape a damning billow freak. What comes what goes what may who knows With everything there is a price, a check a cheek. A lover’s peak a handler’s gaze and far ago a craze.

  14. The outlook that so many twenty somethings have on the future, or maybe just their current predicaments; is it a fair assessment? Probably not. Maybe we just need to look a little more into things beyond the physical self – and I don’t mean an interest in the pseudo New Age bullshit, I mean seriously introspection of the self.

    against the frosty fields
    laid bare to nature

  21. The canyon stretched out below his feet, its depths lost in the blizzard. It disappeared into the snow to the north and south. There was nowhere else to go, nothing else to do but turn around and face the hunter.

  22. the bird ate all the frogs in the pond. there were green ones and browns ones. He liked the browns ones the best. After he ate them then he flew away into the sun, where he melted. The resulting explosion vaporized Earth.

  24. shuddering, cold windows.
    A dozen cinder blocks in the woods, arranged in a circle.
    Grey things.
    The shape of your mouth.

  25. The world’s end is bleak. I am scared of all the death, destruction, and sorrow. The future is bleak. I can feel the darkness surround our atmosphere, choking out the stars and lamps and lightbulbs. The bleakness sets in like a giant fog over our Earth.

  28. Illicit, damned for the moment. No goodbyes, no solid air, no feelings left in her bones, or any that should would find from then on. They were hollow and rigid, probably from the lack of oxygen she felt pouring from her leadened lungs, heavy and subdued, misunderstood in so many ways.

  29. The day was greay and cold, she snuggled deeper in to her fur lined jacket and wondered at the bleakness of the landscape.

  38. she had no idea i was watching her.
    her long black hair she hid behind
    she was sad
    anyone could see that
    when she needed help
    her soft voice was barely audible
    i felt sorry for her
    it was pathetic really. but i wanted to feel what it was like to be so shy
    ive been loud my entire life
    the girl of the party
    everyone watching
    for once I wanted to know what it was like to be invisible
