February Drabble Challenge: "Love and Hate"
Well, it's Valentine's Day time, so let's get cliche. Write me a prose story in exactly 100 words tying into the theme of love or hate or Valentine's Day. Any genre, but horror has a special place in my heart. Winner gets a pair of George Washingtons, baby. Wanna win? Stick to prose using standard rules of grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I'll choose the winner in early March.

clandestine yet timely meetings

Beneath a heartbroken sky, Amy donned crimson. The forbidden affair kindled a flame within, dancing on the edge of infatuation and terror. Love, a velvet whisper, entwined with dark secrets. A cryptic note led her to the chapel, its pews breathing broken vows.

As she neared, shadows quivered, revealing a haunting silhouette. Eyes aflame, a phantom emerged – a scorned lover. Amy's heart raced, love turning to fear. Amidst red roses, the man spoke. Betrayal stained his heart, wrapping him in its bittersweet embrace.

In that cursed moment, love and hate met, a waltz under the February moon's cold gaze.

Thoughts held...
...thoughts held close, or at a distance, thoughts held or withheld. Your thoughts... as much as you're willing to share... in form of your choice, poetry or prose... no need to tag. I'll be there in the end to read and comment :)

Within labrynthine hallways buried deep in my mind, my thoughts weave an tapestry. Some are cradled close, cherished pieces that shape the edges of my inner world. They echo in the hush of night. They tell me about the people I once knew, and the people who still do.

There are thoughts that linger at a distance, like wisps on the periphery of my consciousness. Delicate and fleeting, they avoid me, their presence felt in only in silence. These thoughts could kill.

Then, there are thoughts withheld, unsaid words that die within, yearning for release. They fly in the spaces between my breaths, their wings brushing against my lips. These unspoken truths are what could've been, what should've been.

In this delicate dance of thoughts, a balance between concealment and what I gave. Like worn pages of a cherished book, some thoughts are ones I love, while others remain whispers waiting to be yelled. Maybe one day, I'll yell as loud as I can, into the mountains. I want to be loved. I want them to cherish me, hold me as tight as they can, and never let me go. But these wishes float away, every night and every day.

Maybe one day.

Tell me about winter
Poetry or prose. Tell me what winter looks or feels like to you.

Snowflakes

In the quiet embrace of winter's chill, a world adorned in a pristine blanket of snow, each flake a delicate masterpiece, I come alive. The air, numbingly perfect, carries the scent of pine and the promise of a silent sanctuary. Trees stand as guardians, their branches heavy with the weight of glistening crystals, sparkling under the moon's tender glow. Footprints leave a temporary mark on the once blank canvas. Cozy hearths call to me, casting warm glows on faces adorned with rosy hues, as the world outside is hushed in a serene lullaby of snowfall. Winter.
