  <title>Leave Me A Note's Stories</title>
  <subtitle>In my ficlets I try giving you a message most people wouldn't understand. So don't get confused, it's actually pretty easy. I'm not going to tell you, it's your job to figure it out. Go ahead, tell me what you think I'm trying to say. Chances are, you might not know.

I love it when: people stand up for themselves or others.

I love: the rain, writing, music, art, and photography.

yay! I've written 100 ficlets!</subtitle>

    <link type="text/html" href="http://ficlets.com/stories/42325" rel="alternate"/>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I lay on the soft, cold grass as it swirls around me brushing up against my body. The grass seems almost moist, it makes me feel alive.&lt;br /&gt;I hear the rustling of the leaves from the wind in the trees. What sweet music it is.&lt;br /&gt;I look up at the night sky covered in clouds. It might rain, but I will stay if it does.&lt;br /&gt;The lights from the city are a long way off, and I cannot see them. But the moon and stars are bright enough for me.&lt;br /&gt;The wolf howls softly a tune of sorrow. I let it sink in.&lt;br /&gt;I feel the wind brush against my face as the wind snaps and howls fiercly, just like the wolf and his tune.&lt;br /&gt;Everything is beating to the perfect rhythm, to the perfect pace.&lt;br /&gt;My heart pounds deeply in my chest and I feel like never before. So at peace it&amp;#8217;s crazy.&lt;br /&gt;But as the leaves rustle, the wind and the wolf howl, and the grass sways to-and-fro, I lose myself and let it all go.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title type="text">That Beautiful Mess of You</title>
    <link type="text/html" href="http://ficlets.com/stories/42323" rel="alternate"/>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Papers sprawled on the floor cover the carpet. You scratch your head in confusion. &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t know. I just don&amp;#8217;t know.&amp;#8221; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#8220;Know about what?&amp;#8221; I ask.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#8220;Everything.&amp;#8221; &lt;br /&gt;At that I pondered and escaped deeply into my mind. I didn&amp;#8217;t know either. But somehow in someway I did know. You start to speak, and it takes me back to reality. I look up at you and see you in a way I&amp;#8217;ve never seen you before. It was like slow motion but even better. I couldn&amp;#8217;t hear you but the words you say that emerge from your mouth and reflect off your lips, blow me away with a fire that cannot be desired as they are just words alone just like you and I fighting for our lives mentally, physically, gruesomely, and cleanly in a beautiful mess.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It almost hurts to close my eyes and make a wish for all the things I&amp;#8217;ll never get for all the things I&amp;#8217;ll never do and waste this wish on me and you. &lt;br /&gt;To wish to know how many days before I die, to know how many chances I&amp;#8217;ll get before I fly. &lt;br /&gt;To wish to live, to hear, to see, and talk, to move my crippled legs and walk.&lt;br /&gt;To wish to know when life begins, to remember the places where I have been.&lt;br /&gt;To wish on a shooting star for something wonderful and completely bizarre.&lt;br /&gt;To wish to know the mysteries of life, to live in love and not live in strife.&lt;br /&gt;To wish to know myself and who I am and may be, and to finally wish to be loved and be set free.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;The wind whistled past my ears as I ran, my fingers sliding across the fence quickly. The cold sensation of the fence gave me goose bumps throughout my body. I felt free.&lt;br /&gt;I smiled as the sun blanketed me with warmth. I felt loved.&lt;br /&gt;My bare feet stepped quickly into the deep yellow grass, pounding on the surface of the Earth. I felt fast.&lt;br /&gt;Through my ears I could hear the whispers from the grass and the wind. I felt accompanied.&lt;br /&gt;Through my eyes I saw a world so lovely and so alive. I felt blessed.&lt;br /&gt;My lungs full of air and my heart beating to the perfect pace. I felt oh so alive.&lt;br /&gt;The elements of the Earth took hold of me. It flowed through me. My mind emptied from all my troubles. And for once, I didn&amp;#8217;t feel alone, but connected with the Earth.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

I&amp;#8217;ll let a bullet into my head with nothing done and nothing said as I say my final goodbyes you look at me and ask me why. I&amp;#8217;ll say I needed you I loved you but you never loved me back that this is not a lie but a hard-cover fact that you were caught up in your lovely life and never thought of me as to say &amp;#8216;hello&amp;#8217; but now its too late. You had your chance and I hope you regret it that life is done and nothing can change it.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

I want to say how horrible you may be and that you trap all the elders and never let them free. That when you smile you scare all the people in sight, while others look around and think of your wonderous might. That you leave with an excuse even when you don&amp;#8217;t need it.That you cry and you whine to all that can hear it. So listen closely because I want to be heard, that you are nothing and nothing is a word.&lt;/p&gt;</content>
