only recently to be honest
that artists have an ability
Now I know artists have always had abilities

That artists have the ability

they see the soul.
Bubbles.
The toddler loved to blow bubbles in his bath water, and as he splashed around, blowing bubbles and squeezing his rubber duck, he wondered where his mother was. Normally she stood, lingering over him, constatnly babbling in that way of hers.
"Aiden!" Right on schedule, the deeply red headed woman entered the room, carrying a yellow fabric he knew well. Suddenly, a frown enveloped his lips. "What?" she asked.
"No." Ah, No, the shining star among his new list of words. Aiden gripped the sides, turning to his mother again. "No."
"Yes." She replied, smiling, unplugging the drain.
"No!" Aiden cried, reaching for the stopper, only to

My Watch Doesn't Tell Time
When I imagined falling down into Tartarus, I imagined a few moments of falling and then crash landing. I envisioned Annabeth falling far away from me and hitting my head, hard. I saw myself passing out, waking up to monsters attempting to kill Annabeth.
On all accounts I was wrong.
Annabeth leaned against my chest, boredom in her face. “How long have we been falling?” she asked quietly, her eyebrows furrowed with the pain in her ankle.
I smirked, wrapping my arms around her further. “I don’t know. My watch doesn’t tell time.” I cracked up as she slapped me.

Two sides of the equation
the dark of night and

mixed together for a single right

And still the question remains
how

can be so horrendous and
awful.
The power in human hands
their power to create and

Can’t we just pretend these clouds

Can’t we just pretend that
we aren’t screwed up and
turn our lives around?
Can’t we just pretend that

we aren’t pretending?

April Story - The Book Tree
I once knew of a book tree. Its letters were soft and small. One day the tree called out to me, and so I went. I spoke with the book tree and it said,
"A story in a story
A letter on a page
A song inside of lyrics
A dance upon a stage."
I understood not what the book three said - it was awfully hard to hear from the ground. "Pull me up!" I yelled to the book tree, my hand cupped around my mouth. Its branches, long and curly, descended at my will. I grasped an old Dickens, and I thought, What a thrill. The book tree lifted me high into the air among its letter leaves. P's and Q's and A's were the first to stand out to me.
"Hello, Book Tree,
I take her there, the Book Thief,
And oh all the people she sees.
Her papa and her brother,
Her mama and her other
Me
And a boy. A boy with lemon hair.
"Rudy."
Her arms open wide.
A kiss, Saumsench?
He smirks and holds her hands
A frown is on his lips.
You grew old, Saumsench,
he whispers.
He runs a finger of her lips
Through her silver strands
His voice chokes.
I missed you, Liesel.
Her hands tremble and
her voice cracks.
"I missed you, too.
Kiss me, Rudy."
She grips his collar.
"Kiss me, Saukerl."
A simple statement,
"Please, Rudy."
"Kiss me, Rudy."
Always, Saumsench.
He moves closer
Anytime, Liesel.
And he kisses her and

Who can name them all? I'm a fan of whoevers works are in my hands.
have you ever been so emotionally attached to your own characters that just a single thought of them gives you the craziest and most exciting bubbles and you realize that them and their story are the most amazing things ever and you just lean over to yourself and you're like I created that
my mom abandoned me in a completely unstable state reading novels that rip out my heart and damage my soul why would she do this
also I was bored so hi
