"Migraine"

Losing your grip on reality isn't exactly the way you want to go, especially if what you want out of life is to fit in and be accepted into today's society. It's so easy to get latched onto one thing that drives you further into madness. You find yourself believing that people can change and things will get better, but you see people running the same cycles over and learning nothing. However, sometimes finding the madness within yourself can be the only way to maintain sanity here.

My head pounds as I sit before my computer, thinking about what to write next. The words usually flow naturally with me, but today, the words escaped me with my every thought. Every time I would find my brain pulling toward the subject, I would find another object floating around my mind to pull me away.
The way my head was pounding was making me feel nauseated. Not even the sanctuary of finding a place to sit and rest my feet was making my head feel any better. What was it that could possibly be my cure? Could it be resting my head on a pillow for a few minutes? Or perhaps taking a moment and venting about the issues plaguing my mind, relieving it of its clutter? I figured the latter would fit me best.
I stood from my desk and paced around my room a few times. No words escaped my mouth to provide any sort of outside entertainment. Instead, the internal fight was on. 
My mind raced with thoughts about work earlier that day. The words my boss would say to me, that I could never do anything right, that I was a good-for-nothing employee that he wished he could fire. Thankfully, the one higher than him on the food chain won't allow for him to fire anyone. In retrospect, it seems like a dumb idea. However, I was thankful the rule was in place.
I thought about quitting my job and going elsewhere. The only thing keeping me from doing so was that the store was the only place that would hire me on. Apparently, the workforce requires work experience. The thing they fail to realize is that, you can't get work experience if nobody will let you work. It was massively frustrating.
I thought some dark thoughts about the people in my life that I'd had massive crushes on. How I'd tell them how I feel and they would turn and never care about it again. It bothered me greatly that nobody would give me a chance. However, I respected their decision. Some might call me a push over, but if they say no they mean it.
I tried thinking about different things but my head refused to relax. In fact, I feel as though I made it worse. I began to feel nauseous. I could feel myself trying to dry heave, like something was fighting to come up my throat. I tried my hardest to fight it back, but the thoughts of it only made the feelings stronger. I grabbed a trash can and leaned over it.
It felt as though my guts were spilling all over the floor, my throat on fire as I felt a mass coming up my throat and leaving my mouth. I looked down to see what all was coming out, praying that the sight didn't make me feel any sicker.
I looked down in the trash can and saw nothing but blood. I could feel a little wire hanging from my mouth, a thin tube of some sort. I tried biting it and felt an incredibly sharp pain coming from my stomach. I tried pulling it out and the pain in my stomach only grew stronger. I tried swallowing it down but no luck.
It was getting hard to breath, but I eventually passed out. I never woke back up.

"Hooked"

T he summer can be the perfect time to get away, to unwind while kicking your feet into the cool water while the hot sun is beaming down on you. But what if the bright summer sky was hiding behind it something even darker? I had been waiting for today all week. They'd finally opened the stream up for fishing. I was a little upset at the fact they'd decided to raise prices, but I didn't care, it was a nice day outside and I wasn't about to waste it sitting inside when I could be fishing. With my tacklebox in hand and my fishing pole in the other, I made my way to my truck. I threw everything in the back seat. I was about to head to the driver's seat but hesitated when I thought about bringing my cooler. I had one in the back ready for fish, as well as housing some canisters of worms. But what if I brought one along for some drinks? After a few moments I decided it might not be the greatest idea. It would be too much to carry and I didn't trust anyone that...

"The Light"

  My day off from work was supposed to be a day for me to relax and unwind and rest. The past few days had been incredibly stressful, from hateful customers to managers that expected everyone to do their jobs for them, and everything in between. It was nice to finally have that down time to spend away from all that. I'd decided to spend my time, not to get things done around the house, but to play a new game I'd been hooked on lately. It was this puzzle game where every room is seemingly randomly generated, each with clean and clever puzzles. After booting up the game, I was presented a room with white padded tiles all over the walls. There were a few green, red, and blue squares. I guess my job was to manipulate those tiles somehow to get me from where I was no, up to the top of the level. I looked around the room and could barely make out an opening. I pressed a single button to get myself started when the light in my bedroom burnt out, leaving me shrouded in darkness...

"Baby Talk"

C ommunication is one of the strongest bonds we have as people. We use it to get our feelings across, whether they be disagreements or compliments, or even to complain about our days. But what happens when even the most talkative person won't even mutter a word? At one point in time, if you told me that our baby would grow up just like any normal one would, I would have absolutely believed you. But why is it that now our child has the ability to speak long before any normal kid should be able to? The one painful thing that comes from her being able to talk is that she doesn't really want to stop. It was cute when it first started, she'd make all these silly noises and attempt to make words out of them. Now she has learned speech so well that we're surprised she can't read yet. We wanted to send her off to a school for gifted kids so that she could learn with people nearly as smart as she is. As much as I'd enjoy this idea, however, the wife and I would a...
