JUWC - few word stories.

Published on April 21, 2008 By SanChonino In Writing

Oh, you know how it is. Gotta get my submission in for the JUWC.

Went for a walk down to the beach on Saturday, sat there overlooking my beloved Mediterranean, and this crap showed up. Oh well. Nothing ever turns out as good as we want.

Where she treads, chaos reigns.

Waves envelop,

foamy nothingness -

I drown.

Solos, somos nada.

Juntos, todo.

Unámonos.

(Translation: Alone, we are nothing. Together, everything. Let us come together.) (Now you see why I did that one in Spanish - much more succinct.)

Eagerness becomes love, which begets recrimination.

He grasps for happiness and fails.

I think, therefore I am useless.

Don't you know what you are?

So there you go. Sucktacular, I know.

I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading
I try to forget you as you forgot me
This time there is nothing left for you to take, this is goodbye

Summer is miles and miles away
And no one would ask me to stay

And I should contemplate this change
To ease the pain
And I should step out of the rain
Turn away

Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the stages
Of the rapture born within this loss
Thoughts of death inside, tear me apart from the core of my soul

Summer is miles and miles away
And no one would ask me to stay

And I should contemplate this change
To ease the pain
And I should step out of the rain
Turn away

At times the dark's fading slowly
But it never sustains
Would someone watch over me
In my time of need

Opeth, "In My Time of Need"

I know they are, Mark. That's why I said they sucked.

Thanks for reinforcing my self-hate.

The Spanish one was marvelous, and your first one really had me wondering. Good work, I say.

Thanks for reinforcing my self-hate.

Being a huge fan of self-hate I loved your stories.

I think, therefore I am useless.

I want that on a t-shirt. It will sell big-time.
