Pillow Monologue
Pallow
I rested my forearms on the marble stone, anxiously staring at the quartz clock ticking. I could feel the coldness rising from elbows and out my undercut finger nails. Waiting, for the promised Kabuli Pallow I had been waiting days for. I was tired from all the stress of year 11 and was going to clear my mind after dinner at danny’s place, who invited me over for the first time.
My mum came closer to me as my head tilted. Observing the bowl which was supposed to be a plate, the smell was familiar but yet not the one I wanted.
I took one whiff and something was not right all all. Our eyes met together as I scrunched up my face in recoil.
I scanned bowel and shrugged my shoulder. It was not want I wanted. Instead it was leftovers from last night, shorwa.

The food stood dejected. I closed my eyes and clenched my teeth as I smiled at Jack. Opening my eyes, I wearily glanced at his half empty plate. “Ugh” I blasted, but then quickly reacted with a series cough, attempting nto play it off.
“Are going to eat that?” he ambiguously questioned, snapping me out of trance
“All yours” I replied as I shoved the plate away.
As i got home I could hear my stomach breath, growling heavily and i went straight to the fridge.
Gets home late at night. Mum is still up showing his ripped pants, while everyone is asleep. His stomach growls because he is hungry. He goes straight for the fridge to have some Challow which he earlier threw away out of disgust.
He digs in, insert descriptive passage of the food in a very positive, optimistic manner. He finishes the plate without a single grain left. He looks up from the table at his mum over the other side of the kitchen, under the light, sowing. The teenager cries.

There are still great wonders to be discovered. We find them not just in the lack void of the unknown but in the white noise of everyday life – in the things we barely notice, the things we almost forget such as

    Except this time her eyes are wide open as if, the last thing she laid those rheumy eyes on imprinted itself on her psyche, terrorizing her. Clearly, her breath still smells like dog shit, by how paramedics lean away from her and curl their noses; or, maybe it’s her carpets. All those years of pet stains from Houdini, that…

    Ordinarily, the sun’s light captured everything in sight like a mother hugging a child and giving it warmth. From the dark oak bed, I rose because of the unpleasant bites of mosquitoes. The Civil War is always on my mind. After a most successful battle yesterday when our soldiers all left home, relief and happiness came to mind, for there was a chance that we would win. Consequently, that would explain the surge of energy running through my body after waking up. Starting off with breakfast, I walked to my kitchen, the wood underneath my feet start to creak. The closer I walked to the kitchen, the warmer and cozier the atmosphere became. My servant, Julia, prepared breakfast for me today similar to many other days, I always wonder what will breakfast will be. Fresh eggs from my brown feathered hens were soft surrounded by creamy goat cheese, and well-cooked toast was on the plate this morning. Enjoying the meal is a morning ritual,…

    “Mom, the floors that used to be white are now covered in grime.” “Well, it is somewhere to wait in your current situation, isn’t it?” She asked. “The walls hold photos of the place when it looked brand new in the fifties,” I said, “And it smells awful, like wet dog and mothballs.” “Maybe the food will be good,” she says in a cheery voice, “Call me when you leave.”…

    Once a drastic change occurs in an individual’s life, they often find it difficult to relocate or recreate their state and situation before the alteration, thus, repeatedly struggle with what presents them in substitution. Red Woolen Misconceptions I am numb. The shrieks from the small children bounding around like molecules in a heated solution cut through the air, and despite this joyous sound, I am numb. My child will never be able to make that sound. My hand instinctively moves to caress my now flat stomach, a habit developed over the past six months as it grew.…

    Step by wicked step, my boots sank further and further into the thick, red-tinged land as if the devil himself were dragging my body straight into the depths of hell. The rhythmic squelching stabbed through my rubber soles, radiating pain throughout my soul as it seared everything in its path. Squelch, squelch, squish. My tempo was interrupted by those cursed boots refusing to budge from the stubborn terrain. As if taunting me, the earth unhooked my feet from the damned soil…

    The next night it happened again. Putting the warm dishes away in the cupboard, she turned and saw the child's grey eyes approving her movements. In the next room was the man, his chin sunk in the open collar of his favorite wool shirt. He was dozing after her good supper. The shirt was the grey of the child's trusting gaze. She began yelping without tears, retching in between. The man woke in alarm and carried her in his arms to bed. The boy followed them up the stairs, saying, "It's all right, Mommy," but this made her scream. "Mommy is sick," the father said, "go and wait for me in your room."…

    About a year ago, I came home from work one night and walked into the kitchen to where my mother was standing. There was a feeling of uneasiness and the panic began to clench my stomach. She looked so sad, so stressed; maybe it was the frizzy hair, the bags beneath her eyes, the way her back slouched in a low negative curve, or her eyes. Her eyes looked at me before she turned them away, but in that fragment of a second, it’s almost like I could look inside her narrow eyes and search until I would come upon this thing. This thing has no name, but it scares her. She wouldn’t exactly explain to me what it was but I felt the sudden movements of uncertainty with the way she shifted her body and tilted her gaze away from mine. It’s almost like I started to feel scared too.…
