  4. She was an instigator, she always had been. Dropping matches into teapots. Leaving spice jars untapped. Searing bright promises across plaster walls. She sang like a kettledrum with sequins in it.
    Every step she took brought flowers. Every name she touched burst into light. Every day she walked into was enraptured, left topsy-turvy and jubilant.
    Her eyes could instigate a revolution of the heart. Her name could change your life.

  7. To add fuel onto a burning fire. To create a situation overly influenced by your need to see the circumstance escalate

  8. Breathe.
    You need to start breathing.
    It starts with a simple action.

    Apologize to your crippled lungs.
    You should inhale more.
    You have tasted death.

    Apologize.
    Your heart needs a job.
    It needs to carry oxygen.

    Stop suffocating yourself.
    Your time is not done.
    Do what you need to.

    Just please.
    Breathe.
    Air is the best medicine for your broken heart.

  9. Breathe.

    It starts with a simple action.

    You have tasted death.

    Apologize.
    Your heart needs a job.
    Carrying oxygen.

  10. She doesn’t want to instigate the madness anymore. She wishes to forget it all and start anew, only instigating a friendship of fun, happiness, and love.

  11. she instigated the whole thing with no idea. it started with a question. a simple question.–as if there is such a thing. she asked the wrong person—or maybe the right person with the wrong access. the answers brought questions that there were no answers to. she instigated confusion.

  12. Insitgate. I instigate fights between people unknowingly for example I know what annoys other people, because I can read them fairly well. I instigate fights in order to come out on top. People say it’s an insecurity thing, but I think that I instigate these fights to have some type of power so people don’t betray me. I guess that is insecurity. Whatever.`

  13. Yes, I’m the one who pushed,
    but you’re the one who let it tip.

    I may be the devil’s advocate after all…
    but you, of course,
    listened.
    And that was your own mistake.
    The legs are responsible for the destination, not the twisted road.

  14. They had held four meetings, and had grown to over twenty in number. They agreed that in order to instigate the change they wanted, they would need support from a majority of the officers on board. They would work on friends first, then the younger, more impressionable men. Older officers would be too embedded in their careers to risk joining them, and would be of little value anyway. The female officers were an unknown. Many would be eager to join, but any one of them could bring the whole plan crashing down to crush them. Either way, they knew the outcome would change their lives forever.

  15. Did I want to start this? I’m not sure anymore. Something was clearly driving me on but it was clearly a two-way street. I am convinced of this. I’m not the only one responsible here, not by a long shot, this was planned, premeditated, by her as much as by me.

  16. She encouraged me to continue my good work. It had been 3 months. 3 months to go !

  17. The matters concerning the strange man holding the candlestick in the store captivated him. He no longer waited for information about him; he wanted to know more! And so he instigated a scheme amongst his friends, figuring they wouldn’t mind. That is, until they find out what he’s up to—what he’s really up to.

  18. By instigating this new life, I am feeling alive. The Earth is my planet and I need to save it for good.

  19. I have no idea what at my spelling this word means. I looked dow

  21. Instigate is an interesting word, in the back of my head i know what it means but at this moment at ..5.52am i can’t quite bring it forward, my third eye is itching and i am not sleepy, i may be a little tired but i’m not sure at all. Instigate the evaluation of the special tree.

  22. I do not have the power to instigate anything. Except maybe inconvenience. And unpleasant feelings. Mistakes. Bad behaviour. Arrest. Evil.

  23. She liked to start fights, to push people to the edge and test their limits. Oh, the joy, the power it sent rushing through her bones. She liked to cause feeling, to cause rise, to see where her words and actions could send her. Perhaps, she thought once, it was a type of insecurity. Perhaps, she thought once, she didn’t care much at all what type of anything it was but simply if she could do it.

  24. He fought, and he snarled, and he screamed at them. He wrenched at the bonds holding him to the ground and scrabbled for anything to loosen them and find freedom. He glared at them with a fiery rage in his eyes, and dared them to spit on him in disgust.

  25. An egg dropped on the floor.

    He stood staring at the yolky rivulets.

    Anyone who knew Al would recognize, from the way he stood lazily, from the long, extended way he enunciated “Oops,” that he had let his fingers slip.

    And well, the kitchen sort-of blew up after that.

    Marlene, who, it seemed, had been waiting just for such an “oops,” swung her hand – holding the pan – with onions and oil and paprika – and hit Al on the head with it. And then they were down, each grabbing at the pan, letting loose minced curses, covered in diced onions and spice.

  26. Instigate. Here’s a snapshot of last night’s dream: They took my hand and led me up the staircase which ran like broken teeth to the first floor balcony. The whole house was covered in these flaking green slats of wood, as if the whole place had seen too many seasons. They led me inside, and my breath was knocked out of me by the smell of smoke. Dozens and dozens of young people, crowded around small tables, drinking and smoking. I can’t remember if there was music. They led me through the throng to another staircase – a carpeted one – and pulled me up to the top floor. It was nicer up here. Softer carpet, quieter aesthetics, candles and soft couches. And it was empty. But I could still faintly here the people downstairs. I went to the far window and looked down. There was an outdoor swimming pool beyond the balcony just below us. Three people were swimming, and one was floating face down. I didn’t like this place. I turned, and everyone was peeling off their clothes. I closed my eyes, shook my head, and begged for the dream to change.
    Eventually I faded away from the party and noticed that I had moved, far away, to the interval of a stage show.

  27. Don’t try to instigate drama in any given situation. Don’t try to be sneaky and go behind other peoples’ backs. Be kind and courteous. Good things come to those who are down to earth and do not try too hard to be well-liked. Naturalness is key in this world that is forever trying to change us and shape us into something we are not…

  28. I’ve always been the one to lean in first, to say those words that we both have been thinking for weeks. I thought I’d be the first to kiss her, but the breath caught in my throat choked me through my desperate, “Can I just…?” And then I was melting, drifting, floating up and away from myself, into a land without air, but who needs air when you can have her lips on yours, the softest, most perfect suffocation?

  29. In order to get what we want in life, we need to instigate the things that are going to get us there. Before we can do that, we need to instigate a process that allows us to see where we are.

  30. Picking a fight with myself. My past comes up from behind, throws its arms around my neck, knocks me to the ground. My future throws some kicks to the guts, one in the face for good measure. Tired and bleeding, I don’t have the fight in me now to stand, barely to breathe. I lay limp until they give up.

    Minute two… Time passes. I look up, my eyes are red and full of sweat and tears. The sky is hazy, bloodshot. Time continues to pass. I feel my lungs, breathe in. I can be here, now. I can be here without their vengeance. I can be here without regret. I can be here, now.

  31. instigator, movers and shakers, give them a call, startbusters, breakthrough when you need to get through a break end starts.

  32. We instigate our feelings in hopes to develop something more. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it does not. We don’t beat ourselves up for instigating these things when it fails, we welcome it. Because in the end, someone has to.

  33. Instigation can be a form of enjoyment. One with superior intellect can quite easily instigate hilarious arguments between people who are none the wiser. The instigating king, has the last laugh.

  34. I didn’t mean to instigate anything. But one moment, Riley is on her feet, and the next, she’s on the floor. I don’t exactly understand what happened until I see the red start to leak from her left nostril. She tries to act tough, like it’s not there, snorting the blood up into her septum like she’s doing a line of rusty cocaine. But the ex-Marine standing over her, rubbing his now bruised knuckles, knows exactly what he’s done – and just what kind of Hell he’s in for now.
