Ficlets

I Am Rage

I…am…rage. This mortal dream has begun to bore me. How dare they insult my divinity with the indignity wrought upon what they think is me.

It is not me, but the impertinence still burns and fuels the fires of my still defended soul. Oh yes, try as they may to rob, abuse, transfuse and stupefy, my soul is mine! And they…will…pay.

With deep breaths I restore calm to this level of my existence. I stare at the white ceiling. I can turn just enough to see the white walls. I cannot see it, but I know the floor is white. White sheets caress my back. White sheets drape my front.

Red flows out of me. Red flows into me. Red is everywhere, if you can but see it. I can see the red behind the walls, within the ceiling and running through the floors. I will bring forth the red.

But not now. For now I sleep. Revenge can wait. Revenge always wait. I should know; he got revenge on me. He said he loved me. He said he would protect me. Then he put me in here, gave me to them, the soul stealers.

Amazing writing…especially love the colors paragraphs…the simple sentences add a really powerful tone to it. I love it, especially the ‘bring forth the red’ line.

You had me at, “his mortal dream has begun to bore me” BTW – only true criticism I can offer is that I like the way this ficlet is formatted. It’s formatted for a friendly and engaging read. Some of your earlier stuff was eloquently written, but suffered from “ran together” words. You are a talented writer, and I only offer that advice to encourage your talent….

I was just reading your “About the Author” section – loved the words “Shadows on a Dungeon Wall” – inspiring and thought provoking, given the context in which you wrote the phrase…

Somehow I get the feeling you’re going to write a lot of ficlets here, and this site is going to turn into something very incredibly cool…

Keep writing!
