Blame it on the Boogie, Disco Night Mayhem

 



August 24, 2021

Music surrounded me, drifting out from the stage at the club like a vibrational positive pulse. It shook through me, and I could feel the sensation of a magical energy pulsing through the night, bringing with it endless possibilities. He was here, and I could feel it; I could imagine myself standing right here with him, but would he accept me? My life had been plagued by differences since birth, and as I grew and learned, I only became more so, not just out of rebellion, but genuine inner truth and self acceptance. This was the night for our encounter, I could feel it, everything had been leading up to this moment, and just then our eyes met. He was on the other side of the room, and magnetically I could feel the pull drawing us together as he approached me with a smile. "Do you like my club?," he asked me. I smiled shyly back, and he grasped my hand in his, and led me over to the concession area. "Would you like something?," he asked me. Again, I smiled shyly. I wasn't certain my voice could be heard clearly in the loud club, so I shook my head 'No'. He looked me over with a smile, and asked, "Would you like to dance?" He motioned towards the center of the room, where everyone was dancing, and outstretched his hand toward me. I smiled, and nodded 'Yes,' and took his hand. We had been dancing quite awhile before he leaned in and asked, "Are you able to speak? I noticed the scar on your neck, but I didn't want to offend you, I like you very much." It was difficult for me to whisper, but leaning so close, I decided to attempt to softly reply, "I can speak and sing, it is just difficult to raise my voice." "Let's go somewhere, where we can talk," he said, pulling me towards the door out into the night. You could still hear the echoes of the music reverberating outside the building. I watched as two bats flew past the street light, and turned my gaze to the full moon and star filled sky. I felt him wrap his arms around me. "I sing too," He told me, "My guitar is in my car over there," he continued as he pulled me off toward the vehicle. He held the car door for me to get in. Soon, we were seated side by side with the radio on. He had put his arm about me. "I feel like I have known you my whole life," He said to me, breaking the silence. "That is not possible," I responded, "I am a time travelling vampire," and then, I bit him, knowing that this time we could have eternity together...
...The End.

Glory of the Ghastly Ghost

  6-30-2022 By: LC Harrison Glory had always supported my every crazy whim, that no-one else ever would, and I had gravely betrayed her. The most terrible truth of it all is that she has no idea of that truth. Glory still believes everything is as it always was, and that makes my challenge even greater.  This morning was like any other, I prepared Glory’s tea and breakfast to take in the sitting room. She loved looking at our shady big cherry tree. Not every day is early spring with pink blossoms as today, but that is no matter. Glory knows time and seasons pass; it is a deeper realization that means we must stay isolated. I tell her it is my temper, my moods, and my peculiarities, but in truth she knows I am keeping a secret.  It was a spring day like today of the irrevocable deed, that has made my life a continuous hell. We were at breakfast, looking out at the tree, and I was reading my mail as always. Glory mentioned a mutual friend of ours, that I have not seen since a rainy day t

  September 16, 2021 By: LC Harrison I wasn't sure I wanted to know the answer, but out of my mouth came the words, "How did you know?," I asked her, as I thought I had been careful to conceal such a coveted secret. I knew she often knew and could see through me, but this I thought she could not have known. Surely, it couldn't be that obvious. Doubts crossed my mind and insecurities began to fill my spirit; it was at this moment she replied, "I felt it, but questioned; still, it felt true to me. I am right then; it is true?" I felt reassured to know that it wasn't completely obvious, that no-one had betrayed me, it was just her usual knowing; still, I thought to myself, what should my response and reaction be? She stared at me, her third eye closed, which always made it easier to be around her, and sometimes she would cover it with her hair or a bright pink or violet silk scarf. I shouldn't be so insecure around her; we are both unlike any others, bu
