Faithless Aurora
[On] She just sat there as if paralyzed by a thunderstrike. Eyes wide open, lips parted, fingers entangled in my hair. “Or maybe i’m wrong.”, i said, shifting my gaze away from her and into the distance of the night. “Maybe love isn’t the most important thing, even though we like to believe it is.”,…

Warm withdrawal
[Off] The next day, somewhere around noon, i approached her desk and told her: “I just handed in my resignation.” “What?”, she shouted at the top of her lungs. Everybody around was looking at her as if she just committed a murder. She grabbed me by the arm, pulling me towards the office exit. “We’re…

Soundless subsistence
[Off] “I need to take a break.”, i depressingly uttered, as i was sitting on the ground at work. People were looking at me like i was some kind of attention-seeking beggar, but i didn’t care. A hand holding a can of soda popped right in front of me. It was cold to the touch.…

Oath in the shadows
[On] I woke up in the middle of the night. He was still sleeping. I carefully removed myself from between his arms and went to the bathroom. Coming back, i realized that i couldn’t make any loud noises or turn on any light sources in the living room, which was pretty annoying. So i figured,…

Dreamland chainsaw
[On] “I guess for some it’s hard to admit they love someone. Becoming vulnerable, letting the other know they have a degree of power over you. It’s frightening. Leaping into the air ten feet high, out of your comfort zone, as if you sprouted wings in the blink of an eye, not knowing if your…

Don’t touch!
[On] Dragging him behind me, his feet felt heavy, his movement imbibed with fear. I wanted to snag him over me on the sofa, but as i fell, my grip came undone. He just stood there. Stiff. “What’s wrong?”, i asked with concern. His gaze was pinned to the floor, ignoring completely the fact that…

Onward affection
[On] What day was it again today? I don’t want to remember, even if someone told me. I’d rather stay here, pinned down to the floor, watching as the ceiling changes seasons. She is gone. There. Across my balcony. Closer than two colliding quarks, farther than infinity. And i was the one who chased her…

Edging kiss
[Off] We had reached the entrance to her apartment, still holding hands. “Hey, wait a moment.”, i vocalized. As she turned to me, i nabbed her closer, pressing my lips against hers until i felt the need to see the light again. She didn’t flinch, nor did she try to flee when the length of…

Inter(lewd)ed
[Off] “We need to talk. Tomorrow after work. Meet me at the entrance to the park.”, is all i said to T. over the phone that evening. The next day, T. waltzed happily towards me, as i was sitting on a bench closest to the park entrance. Closing in, she did a pirouette that ended…

Noctilucent blue
[On] “Can i spend the night?”, he asked, as he was washing the dishes for me. It was a simple question, yet i couldn’t give an answer. Something inside me didn’t feel right. “Well?”, looking over to me. “I don’t know.”, i replied. He turned the faucet off. “What’s wrong? And don’t tell me it’s…
