  3. I couldn’t tell. He was new territory. I threaded carefully. For his landscape was littered with traps. Past loves planted them and he willingly set them off to protect what little he held on to. Heartbreak pillages the bounties of our being.

  4. I wonder if this is all a trap.
    If he’s tricking me, just to watch me suffer. If he wants me to feel the pain I made him feel before. I wonder if he wants to watch me become broken hearted.

  5. There was a trap inside of the well. You have to say walrus thirty six times to escape, if you say it more than this you fall even deeper in the well, and the well shrinks as it goes down further. Soon you find yourself in a dark abyss, stuck… in a well.

  6. don’t go in there it’s a trap! They saw loose leaves on the ground and the wind blew them off the 10 ft hole! If they had carried on waling then they would have both fallen in! But concentrating in this hole made them walk straight into the monster’s cave..

  7. I instinctively grab him in a hug, and the awkwardness drips off our bodies. This is more important–being there for him when he needs it most. “I’m sorry,” I whisper into his ear, and I’m not sure if I’m sorry for his friend’s disappearance or for breaking his heart. But he nods anyway, and I hold him tighter.

  8. We fell together, the fingers of my right hand intertwined with his left. I dimly wondered if this would be the last time I would see him.

  9. every single emotion is beautiful, even pain! just because they’re getting you stronger.

  10. I’m trapped by my thoughts, by my incessant need to over-think and over-analyze and rationalize. I’m tired, and blocked and I just want to write. I want to create new lives and stories, put them down on paper, on a screen, on anything, but I can’t.

  11. The evening sky glimmered far above, bruised violet and starlit red, wrapped tightly with fishing-line threads of cloud. He thought it looked like a dying god; some great, magnificent thing, bleeding to death in the twilight of the world.
    Kind of like me, was his next thought, as he weakly shrugged a pair of bony shoulders. The wires pulled tighter in response, scattering another layer of bloodied scales to the dirt floor. They lay in a pitiful mosaic around his feet, glittering like dying stars.
    He did not look at them. He was trying not to show the pain that seared along his freakish spine, burying itself between his temples like a parasite.
    Still, a being like him could bear the pain, the solitude, the shadows. The humiliation of being trapped was but a splinter. Yes, it would have been useless to keep him here, bound in the bowels of the earth, under any other circumstances.
    But his eyes were locked on the wounded sky.
    This, indeed, was the cruelest torture.
    His shoulders moved again, in the memory of stolen wings, and the wires cut deeper.

  12. a bear was caught in atrap on the Sherwood Forest. His son and daughter are now very lonely and someone will have to take care of them so that they don’t fall in another trap.

  13. hell is a pot of honey
    and we are all flies
    drowning in our own sins.

    the devil drew me in
    with her spread thighs,
    her monarch lips.

    i burn where i stand
    but on my tongue there’s
    something sticky, sweet.

  14. Traps are useful in the extreme, though they have a tendency to get you instead.

  17. A trap. She had known it from the start but why had she been stubborn enough to believe a lie? It couldn’t be any worse. No. she shouldn’t say that or else it would get worse. Trapped in this dark room with no air it was hard to believe that though. Who knew why? She was stuck.

  18. I was trapped in the room under her house. I sat quietly hoping Lisa will save me from this terrible day. I am a good person, I do not deserve to be the one that is punished. I could hear her footsteps through the ceiling, and I wondered why she was so happy.

  19. She knew it now. That this was a trap. She only wanted to help Walter. Sure she didn’t like him. Sure, she didnt want him in her life, but her mother loved him. He was her step dad, but she wouldn’t let him disappear like her father did. She owed her mother that.

  20. “It’s a trap!”

    “Stop saying that.”

    “IT’S A TRAP!”

    “You are not Admiral Ackbar!”

    “IT’S A TRAAAAP!”

    He kept bellowing it over and over as I served everyone a second helping of garlic mashed potatoes. Susan groaned very audibly before spooning large squares of butter into her spuds.

    “Honey,” said her father, “don’t you think that’s a bit too much fat and carbs?”

    “IT’S A TRAP!”

  22. “It’s a trap” she said. There is no hope now. None. Not after all this work that had been put into creating the perfect design. There was no hope that they would survive. And she was satisfied with that. It was flawless, a perfectly executed plan that could only end in one direction… Death.

  23. I felt lost in the woods when I was taking a walk one evening. I thought at some point before I became lost that I might turn around and go home but I didn’t because I liked the stillness of the night. A stillness that was quite alive in all of it’s glory.

  27. That old man infuriates me!. He sets these traps and I find them, Never ending circle. I cannot stand the thought of an animal being caught in one of those awful things. It is not like he needs the money or meat–he could probably buy and sell most of the people in this county. Onory old cout. One day we will have that conforntation I keep promising and it is gonna be a good one. But for now I’ll just keep releasing these traps and saving the little critters from a painful death

  28. “It’s a trap,” he said as he was looking at the hole on the floor. His companion didn’t believe him and it was already possessing him. The beauty of mystery was captivating him. Soon his companion jumped and never to be seen again.

  29. Campbell knew they’d set a trap for her, but she didn’t care. In fact, what she wanted most of all was to be caught by them, to be taken deep inside the hive and offered as tribute to their queen. From there she’d have the best chance of destroying them. Of this, she had no doubt, and so when they came, she feigned shock and dismay and put up some semblance of a fight. When it was over, she went willingly, secure in the knowledge that she’d have he revenge.

    He turned and surveyed the rest of his hostages as they lie prone on the floor covering their heads and silently making promises to a higher power that if they survived today they would immediately set their lives on a path of righteousness.

    “The next person to speak is leaving in a body bag.”

    After months of preparation, his first bank robbery was going according to plan. At least it was, until he hear the howl of sirens coming down the street. Someone must have tripped a silent alarm. His gaze shot back to the teller, then to the bank manager. He knew this might happen and he was prepared to do what was necessary to maintain his control of the situation. Someone’s prayers were not going to be answered today.

  31. Hatred’s a trap that’s permanent, you think as you stare at his blue eyes and at your fingers that tremble to tangle in them and rip each strand apart. To avoid thinking of cording your fingers through them as your lips meld together under your biting teeth.

    Sentiment’s a trap and it’ll always be.

    Jesus! Jesus! Can you hear me? Oh. Mah man! Jesus! Wanna get me out of here? Please? THank you? Maybe?

Who knew. all she knew now was that she was in trouble. and she had to find a way out before it was too late.

  39. A trap can be set up for someone to trap you or catch you in something. Most typically when I think of a trap though, I picture and animal trap. A big metal contraption with sharp teeth that grabs onto and unsuspecting animal and hurts or kills them, it just isn’t right.
