Contrary to Blessed

Processed with VSCOcam with g3 preset

Tongues bit in times of conflict allowing the conflict to inflict its suspects. Rather than undoing the mess, idle acts sit by neither hot nor cold. No other idol before me, don’t worry there’s no connection between

Fictional Memoirs: You Universal

Posted on April 3, 2014 by Jacob Virtue under Fabrication, Murklins

20140403-205955.jpg

You want what you don’t have. Your exaggerated perception of others feeds your pity party. Although meant to uplift and brighten your mood, thinking about it makes you envy their every move. Life on the west coast makes you “ooo” and life on the east coast makes you “awe.” You compare yourself to others and

Joseph: Stalking Myself

Posted on February 23, 2014 by Jacob Virtue under Murklins

Fictional Memoirs: She

Posted on December 1, 2013 by Jacob Virtue under Murklins

She moves in her own way. A drift to astray and sometimes near when she needs air. Her feet hurt from walking all day. Her dark brown eyes wonder from the green lake on her left past the thin white and grey leopard print trees onto the rugged path in front and behind her. Though looking “up ahead” she imagines

Fictional Memoirs: He

Posted on November 25, 2013 by Jacob Virtue under Murklins

Style is everything. A balled up receipt pressed on his thigh and made a small indention in his left pocket. Adjusting in the carpeted seat, he pulled out his key. The teal green 98 Honda Civic rumbled as he turned the slightly bent key for the third time.  He had been utilizing the copy since he lost the first set.
