" segue to nowhere "

---

i write and write and write, and do nothing but edit through all of the unecessary words and wording, until i render the naked sentence open. it sits on the page unashamed and calm. fiction is always false, so why try to dress it up?

"one day i went to the ocean, and sat among it's vastness. the sun beamed a pale golden hue, and the smell of salts, papaya, and far away islands lingered in the light breeze."

"one day i went to her house and had my heart broken into even pieces. i told myself i would be fine, and remembered that she only cried a little."

"one day nothing happened at all, and i was proud of the fact that i had done nothing at all to change that fact."

"one day i cut my hand open on accident; the blood slowly seeping out from my palm in a thin crimson trickle. i had forgotten to buy band-aids that month"

"one day the night came and never left. i am a few friends sat all month long, singing songs and laughing together, in the loving caress of the nocturnal glaze."

and all at once, you run out of things to say...
