OW: a Brief Acrostic

Over-doing and under-thinking
Works about as well as you’d think…


6 Word Short Story: Think Again

Non-voter: I thought it couldn’t happen.


Possession

Cold eyes, glassy and staring,
Slide slowly across,
Like a security camera,
Emotionless and remote.
They stop with chilling abruptness
Like a gasp, never heard,
A beam that freezes you in place.
The frayed lace stirs slowly
As the head follows.
Target acquired.


6 Word Short Story: Insomnia

Sometimes, sleep is a 4-letter word.


The Trials & Errors

A step
Stumbles.
A decision
Crumbles.

Which way?
What next?
Or worse, how?

But stumbles
Recover.
New decisions
Hold firm.

Methods and mayhem –
Trials and errors:
Adventures
Well earned.


Trapped in Warm Blankets

A chill wind creeps in,
Trapping the warm blankets with
Long icy fingers.


6 Word Short Story: Almost Inevitable

            “You’ve changed.”
            “Of course – I’m alive.”


Fog

A dense, heavy cloud
Consuming both earth and sky
In a haze of gray


An Old Friend

A door to a world,
Both thrilling and comforting,
Through weathered pages


6 Word Short Story: One Little Word, A World of Difference

Til death do us part again.
