"Then play, please," Jonny said. He sang:
Let it be deep and wide.
Dig my grave with a Silver Spade
in the forest under trees fully grown
getting rid of the evidence of my existence.
Tell my wife I died from doing something noble
like getting a cat out of a tree
Or saving the sheriffs in the middle of a prison break.
Let it be deep and wide.
Dig my grave with a silver Spade
Neglect to put up a tombstone
Soon enough the plants will lend assistance.
Tell the townsfolk that I caught the rebel
the one who thought he was the number one cookie
Tell them the stories they won't forsake
Let it be deep and wide.
Let it be deep and wide.
I want to hide.
In a rage, she puts her finger through her hair. Paul, who was waiting for a reaction, goes on. The sound of his voice vibrates the walls and the metal pots and pans sing out.
Paul sees her teeth chattering, watching as she squashes down another cigarette butt on the last ones she's put out as she lights another one sticking out of her mouth, dragging down half before taking a breath. She coughs.
John slapped her on the shoulder lightly, ignoring her usual coughing fits, and said, "That one there. He is an agoraphobe. I can tell by the way he is watching people and then looking away when they make eye contact."
Marry, after taking a sip of her water, turned to John, "We should get out of here. I'm not feeling well."
John had hardly paid any attention to her nor did he care about what she was feeling. He was here to enjoy his day off with or without her.
A twisted ankle, that is what she wanted for him, Paul. That would be a good start. That fuck job was singing the song that she wrote for her dying uncle and now he was singing a song he stole, claiming it as his own.
She nudged John in the rib cage, making up bend his torso in an arch. "If we don't get out of here ..."
"Look, baby," John said cutting her short, "It's my day off. I need some R-and-R. Leave if you don't like this place."
"Your a dick."
"Whatever. Bye." He dismissed her with a wave of his hand and with the other called over the waitress for another drink.
Marry sat quietly, feeling the eyes of Paul penetrating beneath her dress, waiting for John to take a sip of his whiskey. As he did, she said, "That is the man on stage that I've been cheating on you with."

twenty-four-hour short story - You gotta be quick to get this one posted in time. He posts the contest on Sunday (usually) and ends it about 48 hours later. This contest has a 2000 word limit.
Finish the Story Contest - The contest begins on Wednesday (usually) and ends 5 days later. This contest will test your write skills with something a little different each week. Plenty of time to write something around the 500 word mark.
Steem Monsters Common Card Fantasy Story Contest! - Coming out roughly every week. If you enjoy card games like Magic, Yugio, and others like it, you might like this game. Write a fictional tale about the card they present in the contest and your entry just might be the one they choose to showcase.
Tell A Story To Me, And Win 5 SBD! Writing Contest - Kind of random when it comes out but don't worry. You will have two weeks to complete your work of art from the given prompt. Have fun!
Haiku - These are coming out every couple days or so. If you struggle with rhymes, no worries. Haikus don't have to rhyme. All you need to make a haiku is five syllables on the first, seven syllables in the second line, and again back to five syllables for the last line. So easy it makes me think I'm being super productive. LOL
Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku Contest - By reading the title, you should be able to guess how this haiku contest works. You're given an image and you write. I've really enjoyed this contest because there are people here who've actually gone to classes to learn how to write haiku's; so if you want, you also can learn how to write quality haikus from reading the comments and critiques they and others give.
Micro-Fiction Writing Contest - This is a fun challenge. You get two-hundred and fifty words to tell a story or vignettes. Here is a great post that will explain the difference between the two concepts. Here is another post explanation of what a story is. Good luck, Brave Story Writer!
Vocab-Ability 1x1 - What happens is you are given a list of roots and the words they can be found in. You create a sentence using those words and post in the comment section of the post. Your upvote for your creative work will come soon. One of the best ways to increase your vocabulary is by doing these 10-15 minute exercises almost daily. What craziness will you create?
