Jelly
'How cliche,' she thought and rolled her eyes in self derision; but it was true never the less, that every time he looked at her she felt her legs turn to jelly. It was hard to focus and stand up straight. She hated to think of her reaction if he ever actually touched her. She was certain it would be more like water than jelly.
Impassive
Masses of shaggy blond hair obscured bright blue eyes; set in a face that seemed to be cut from stone. Intensely focused on a computer screen, his fingers flew like lightning as rows upon rows of coding filled the monitor, bypassing all of the buildings security. A grim smile flitted across his otherwise impassive face as he initiated his program.
Sirens began wailing as all security protocols were negated and doors began opening. Standing slowly, he calmly packed up his equipment and walked out of the building and into the night; as others more accustomed to confrontation, flooded the building.

Stand
I stand on the edge of the abyss; staring off into the blackness of the night and the darkness of my own soul. I can not see the future and the past is lost in the mists of time.
Shadows and dreams swirl around me; morphing and twisting, first beautiful then horrifying, tantalizing and repellent. I raise my hand to touch the future and there is nothing there, nothing to feel. I look in vain for anything to latch onto, anything to save me.
One wrong step and I fall to the enticing darkness; yet a shift the the right brings bliss; a dance along the razor edge of life. Is the price to high to pay for such darkness, or can I attain that promised joy?

Bright Lights
Bright lights burst overhead. Red, white, and every other color you could imagine. The heat is fading with the setting sun. Rock music blares in the background, and families and friends mill about the large grassy fields. There is an abundance of food and laughter flows as freely as soda and beer. Snap lights glow in the gathering darkness, children running wild in the night. A yearly celebration of freedom.

Gravel
The gravel crunched quietly under his feet, this would make for an interesting time of it. After all, stealth was to be desired when you were an assassin. He shifted his weight and the pebbles ground under his foot. He was pretty sure that he had not been heard; but it was imperative to be sure.
Circles
Follow in the circles I dance, round and round we go.
No beginning and no end, we circle for eternity.
Spin about and once again follow in my rounds.

Toast
She bit into her toast pondering over what had happened; the secrets, the lies, what she had been forced to do. she didn't like what she had done, but it had been necessary for all concerned that she kill him without delay. she could not fathom him being let loose again to wreak havoc.
Belong
Where do I belong? Where do I fit in, in this world? Where is there acceptance and friendship.
Shane shook his head, clearing his thoughts away. Now was the time to smile, now was the time to be like the other lemmings. Now was the time to not be himself. Now was the time to lie.

Want
"What is it you want? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy?" Her tone was sarcastic.
"All of the above, I am a fool, and I'll take what I can get."
"All of the above, I am a fool, and I'll take what I can get."
Muse
"I am waiting for the muse to move me."
"You know, I could grow old and die, waiting for you to finish this, or at least make a start.".
His eyes brightened, "Thanks Tony, that was it!"
"What was?"
Paint quickly flowed onto the canvas. "voila!"
"Oh, ha ha, Mark, very funny."
"I thought it was." Turning the painting to the light one could see a man that had been killed with a paintbrush.

Hover
The butterfly hovered over the drowsing girl on the ground; and made as if to land. Gently brushing her cheek it alighted on her soft warm skin and walked across her flesh.
The girl giggled and the butterfly took off.
"Hey momma, I just got a butterfly kiss."

Deny
"Would you deny me? Would you send me away?"
"Yes I would; if it meant keeping you safe."
"Even if it meant that I had nothing more to live for? If you were to go; if you were to die, then I would cease to be. You who shape who I am are more important to me than my own life."
"Go home, I do not want you here."
"Yes I would; if it meant keeping you safe."

Viewing
Kim looked up at David as if viewing him for the first time. She was utterly confused. She had been surprised when he had pulled the power to her computer but was shocked when he had kissed her.
David smiled his quirky little smile, his hand resting gently on Kim's shoulder, breaking into a grin openly when Kim's mouth opened and closed a few times without making a sound. This was one of the first time that he had ever seen his friend speechless.
Kim raised a hand to her lips, as if to assure herself that what she had felt was real. She had never expected anything like this from David, after all he was handsome, he fit in more with the others than with her, and at times Kim did not know why he stuck around, why he was not repulsed.
In a flash, everything in the world was gone except for him, there was nothing except his bright eyes looking down on her. David watched her for a few minutes, trying to gauge her reaction. He sighed a little in relief when she smiled at him.
Gently moving her hand away from her mouth David leaned in for another kiss.

Care
Kim shrugged, "Why should I care?" She chewed her gum, staring at the computer screen in front of her.
“Don't you care about anything anymore?” David was getting frustrated, it would be near impossible to get through to her at this point.
“Again, can you give me a reason why I should? Anytime I care about anything it is perverted, or destroyed, turned against me.” Kim continued to type away at her keyboard. She as putting the finishing touches on a new program.
Kim continued before David could try to reason with her. “All my life I have been looked down on, despised, made fun of. Why do you think I live in my computer, why do you think that I am what I am. Simply put, I have ceased to care. About people, about anything at all.”
David placed a hand on her shoulder, and she shrugged out from under it. “Why are you here David? Really?”
David sighed and looked around, There was no way that he was getting through to her, without doing something drastic.
“Kim...”
“Just go away David, it's better this way.”
“No.”
David reached around and yanked the power cord from the wall. When Kim looked up at him in shock, he kissed her.

Suspend
Suspended... I never thought that I would hear that word, after all there was no trace, how could they have known it was me. I bet she just picked someone, anyone to blame it on, and she happened to pick me. I know she had her suspicions about the powder incident, but she had no lasting effects, I mean how was I supposed to know she was allergic to Maple pollen. And honestly, do they really think this is going to stop me. I can do anything from anywhere as long as I have a computer available. I can hack any system, I can change anything I want. Hell I might just give her straight F's for the rest of her school career.
The could not have known, and this will never appear on my record at any time.

Solo
Dime qué haría de mis días,
quien soñaría si no estas.
Cómo podría respirar el aire, lejos de ti.
Cuando no estas aquí.
Solo por ti, caminaría
en la infinidad.
Afrontaría
contigo la eternidad.
Solo por tí...
The seductively gentle voice washed over her, pulling her into it's depths, hypnotizing her. She would follow that voice into the fire's of hell itself.
Alastrina craned her neck to get a glimpse of the singer, but he was in shadows, the only thing visible was the flash of his smile, as his lips poured forth the soul snaring melody. There was a crush of bodies around the stage, and there was no getting through it.
Alastrina felt as if she had heard this voice before, as if it echoed in her soul, begging her to remember a past life. The translation slowly came to her.
Tell me what I would do
With my days
Who could dream
If you weren't there
How could I
Breathe the
Air, far from you
When you're not here
Only for you
I would walk
Into infinity
I would face
Eternity with you
Only for you
She had to find him, his voice called to her.
Remember.
(The song featured above is Solo por Ti, by Josh Groban. MMM that man can sing.
by the way, I don't know where this one came from or where it is going.)

Cathedral
Whispers echoed through the ancient cathedral, ghosts of ages past and promises of the future.
Amara ran her fingers over the worn stonework and gazed up in wonder at the impossibly high ceilings, they defied gravity. The pews were of dark stained and scarred wood, the cushions were threadbare and deteriorating.
Amara jumped ever so slightly when the bells tolled out the hours, it was twilight. Nervous, Amara backed up, she had no idea that anyone was here, it had looked abandoned from the front.
Stepping back Amara let out a small scream as she stepped out onto nothing. Wide eyed, Amara pinwheeled her arms, trying to regain her balance when a hand came out of no where and grabbed her wrist.
Amara felt herself pulled forward, away from the gaping darkness below her; into a solid chest.
Gasping she had wrapped her arms around the person before her, trying to steady herself. When she had control over herself she looked up, and into the most piercing green eyes she had ever seen. The smile matched the twinkle of amusement in the handsome face before her.
"That was a close one," the stranger said, pulling Amara away from the stairs.

Convertible
The convertible flew down the highway faster than was safe, faster than she could see. She couldn't see anyway, her tears were coming to thick to be able to make out much of the road through the windshield. She was fleeing, trying to escape the pain of all that was behind her, she didn't know if she could get far enough away to make a difference, to be able to put it all behind her.
Addled
It was not just the kiss, but the fair ride that had left her feeling addled and dizzy. Samantha brought her mind into focus upon the man in front of her, smiling.
"Um, what was I saying?" She asked still bemused.
Ben grinned, moving closer to her again, "I believe you were saying this." His lips descended again to hers, stealing her breath and spinning her thought away into the world of absolute sensation.
Sam pulled back, gulping for breath and flashed another smile. Taking Ben by the hand she towed him towards another ride.
Ben raised his eyebrows in surprise, he knew Sam was not usually a romantic type of person, so her choice of rides surprised him, "The Tunnel of Love?"
Samantha winked at him, "Well, you started it, I just want to get the most out of it." She pulled him into the darkness, moving close to him, ready to be addled again.
