  16. Bleak. Bleak is boring. It has no interest. It is used for a person with no personality and that is boring. Also used in the weather. It is a bleak day. I hate bleak days. I wish every day was sunny and made me smile. Bleak days put me in a bad mood.

  18. Midwinter was always the grimmest time for my mother. She’d start in on the gin at 11am most days. I would hate work and school and often break up with whichever girl I was with. I hated it, it sucked.

  19. The outlook wasn’t a great one, but he was confident that he would make the best out of the situation. It could be worse, right? He tried to steel his nerves and convince himself of that. I mean it’s not like they were going to torture him by slicing his abdomen open and removing his intestines with iron hooks or anything. What’s that? They are? Bummer.

  22. understanding that you are nothing in the universe. A small tiny absent minded speck walking about, stumbling about lol. Writing about words like bleak. your future is bleak because you spend all your time writing about bleak. Bleak is the user of the internet for hours at a time, bleak is the fate of the human race in the face of religion. bleak details us as human beings and we understand that bleak is nothing near to our dreams. bleak.

  27. it was a bleak house with red awnings and white walls and the water when it dripped sounded like the screams of hollow children. there are a lot of bleak houses in this neighbourhood. designed to mask their true bleakness, as if a red awning could ever mask such a thing.

  28. outcast
    panorama horizon
    dim lit backdrop
    silhouetted trees
    single entity
    pair of eyes
    stare.
    beautiful nonsense
    callous thoughts
    past undone
    undone

  30. That’s all she could think of to describe her current situation. Although, I suppose anyone else would of felt the same way had they been lying in a gutter filled with their own blood, a dirty syringe sticking out of their arm, and a few cigarette burns decorating her chest. Then again, maybe today was just another day.

  31. “How would you describe it?”
    “Bleak”
    “You describe everything as bleak though. There’s a lot of bleakness in your descriptions. To you the only thing that isn’t bleak is your descriptions of things that are bleak. There’s a lot of colour and vivid imagery in your descriptions of the bleak”
    “I’m a paradox”

  35. I’m thinking of a strikinly cold crisp winter morning. An animal, cat or dog, it doesn’t matter, rubs up against me as I make it to the kitchen for my only addiction.

  36. the weather outside was bleak. the rain like shaking water through a sieve. the wind brushing past the trees making leaves hit the ground. her emotion was heavily influenced by the weather so her outlook was bleak. putting on her winter coat and warm bootiesshe shuffeled by the door not wanting to go outside. struggling to think of any reason why she shouldnt just go and get back in bed she recieved a text. it said; don’t be scared to live life to its fulliest. she opened the door and took that first step. the weather was still dreery but that light inside her flickered a little brighter than before.

  37. In the bleak, mid-winter sun, I find myself squinting to relieve my eyes from the burden of the glare…and I’m reminded of all that should have been, could have been, I wish would have been, but was not brave enough to make happen, and it’s staring me in the face…brightly and painfully.
