    • IDK, the world doesn’t care about any of us. It just keep rolling along. Don’t you think it is up to us to care about feelings? About the feelings of others, about how we relate to the world, all life, and the people who inhabit it? In this sense, you are not a “glitch” but an integral part of everything around you.

      I realize this is one part of a larger story (Chapter 17) and I have not as yet read all the chapters, so my comment may be way off base. If so forgive me. But I personally think we all are like stones cast on calm water and the ripples we leave affect the world around us. So, we are all “glitches”. Besides, Amethyste as a crystal is a warm calming stone so those feelings may be some warmth cast into this cold, cold, cold world.

      Thanks for your chapter, hope I didn’t over step.

    • Only a human cares about other human feelings. We make our own distracted universe. But it is isolated.

    • We are made the way we are supposed to be. I understand though

    • I get it beautiful poetess if they didn’t think that there would be no reason for constant reinforcement reminds me of me with my schizophrenia great write just be you you can’t be anyone else ❤️

    • That’s kind of weird isn’t it. It’s like they’re trying to convince you of something before you ask. lol

    • Powerful and poignant.

    • We are born into circumstances. You control how those circumstances affect you. They may burden you. They may show you the right path for
      you. Some people live a glorious life while others struggle to survive. So far, I have survived! I have been broken and I have pieced myself back together. I have taken many wrong roads. I have been very lost at times. Be yourself always.

    Rubik's Cube Requiem for Lost Love

    Held as grenade  coloured fingerprints  from a love crime scene, Darling, Night Arrived without you  Turning memory until wrist snapped, one man solved the cube in three seconds but for others, decades play dice with never-ending seasons  Red was the seductive flame of her dress kindle...

    • you are a master writer so full of passion makes me long to know you ❤️

    • Raw and unforgettable, this poem is an unfiltered outpouring of a messy, deeply-felt heartbreak.

      Grief, love, and memory twist together like the cube itself, and the striking imagery -from the “petrol pirouette” to the painful truth that “yellow bleeding into orange doesn’t always promise a sunset” perfectly captures that internal chaos.

      The frustration of the Rubik’s Cube beautifully reflects the struggle to reconcile a beautiful memory with the painful reality of loss and betrayal.

      I love it. It’s brilliant and beautifully written.

      • Wow RomaJ ,you have a job as the editor of my never to be published poetry collection. Not that I have any desire to be published. It’s enough to know my words have touched the soul of one across the Atlantic. It was a task to compress my train-crash love life into one poem. Diolch.

    The Art

    The sun was high in the sky, beating down on my back as I laced up my sneakers. That was when I looked up as he walked past me, wearing skintight track shorts. The kind that left nothing to...

    • Haha. Got to love those flirtatious moments. I also agree it needed the profanity. Not that I’m big on censorship anyway.

      Great ink

    • Holiday romances in far off destinations make the world go round and generally a much happier place .. if only briefly .. two weeks would be tops for me now .. Hell, it doesn’t even need to be a faraway place these days .. anywhere beyond the garden gate would be just fine .. I dunno whether todays offering is a product of a wickedly well primed imagination .. or whether these events genuinely happened .. either way, it doesn’t matter, I applaud your frankness & originality .. Kind regards, Neville

    • A sizzling, playful scene full of tension and wit. The narrator’s boldness and the flirtatious back-and-forth make this a fun, electric read.

    • Tremendous work. Powerful.

    • Passionately penned, Fia. Always love your storytelling my friend, excellent write. Appreciate you, cuz.

    • Hoi hoi
      You know that I am a fan of your for DUP’s ago.
      And I won’t/don’t want to bagatelize (or what’s it spelled) the other one walking away, but how about envying the back pockets?

      I lured à very lovely person in writing such a poem (lyrics) and it dried up very well.
      Maybe it’ll be a possibility to retaliate???

      Other than that à lovely write. What’s this with this à all the time?
      You’re the sharp person. I’m not your fan for nothing!
      Warmest greetings from Gus

    • The brave and bold flirting is fun to read, although this old fuddy-duddy was always too shy to carry on that way. Nice that she told him right out that she was married. Sexual attraction is part of us and I don’t think you can make it go away. (I certainly haven’t stopped noticing the girls. Heh-Heh!)

    • Oh, that was excellent. How nice to read something that is what it is and does not have to apologize for it. I could absolutely see this entire encounter,

    • Very nice interaction, did this really happen?
      If so, did you make the call? So many questions attached to this
      creative piece. Thank you

    • Oh this was seduction writing at its finest. The dialogue grabbed me and held me there like the best encounter with a woman I have ever had. This really rocked big time. You have the dialogue down perfectly. My attention was riveted. And there were surprises around every turn in the dialogue. The suspense of what would happen next had me completely enthralled., Great storytelling. You had me stimulated beyond belief just by the dialogue alone with no graphic depictions just the prospect of the bedroom affair.
