fff#65

my attempt@ flash fiction friday #65; [inclusions]trigger: frustrate, elate, irate, inflate [conjugate to suit]

it does take time; rome eh build in a day and neither can you. and is always more disruption than you expect, requiring more repair than you anticipate; you never know how far you gone until you try to return.
[you] cyah remember wha’ to do with the day or how to be out in the world, wandering, lost, in dark space and empty tracts of time, not knowing which of life’s potholes you drop into and no sense of how to dig your way back out neither, frustrated for letting yourself come to this, confuse how you fall so far and eh notice your descent…you give away too much.
the dark eh wha’ you fall into, is wha’ you face when all that left is pieces of you fluttering weakly in the wake of the vanquisher. the dark is the hole left where before you were independent spirit in warrior mask. the dark is what you will pull the remaining parts of yourself tightly together over and use your remaining breath to inflate with something resembling life so you can at least accomplish wha’ you here for.
[you] cyah let them break you. when things fall apart, gather your torn+frayed edges and begin fresh; no time for the damage trying to climb up out your throat and inflict itself on the world to ease the pain in the place it originate. when you find yourself irate, fastforward through the chaos from feeling loss to feeling lost to finding+rebuilding a self; what feel like it may never come, will, and fighting your way back brings elation you never expect…you never know how far you gone from yourself until you try to return.

walk good.

fff#64 +flash fiction friday #65[trigger]

again, late enough that i combining my attempt@fff#64 +trigger#65 in 1post; flash fiction friday #64 trigger: …but it was already too late…

losing data you dig for, search+research for, come like losing piece of yourself.
you in so deep you remember the threads of years of work, want to feel you could reconstruct the file/folder because you know the articles, fora, media…until the weight of urls unrecallable sinks such notions, forcing acceptance of dreams drowning in the inferior recall of your too-human mind…but later, if your life doh depend on it, after the screaming scramble to try+retrieve what neither jesus nor yourself (inexplicably) save, later, if you resist the urge to gut yourself, if you skip social media suicide, later, when the frenzy of what to do fizzle in the sizzle of the latest lacouray, later comes relief…freedom from information.
and nothing ever feel so sweet.
you cyah imagine the almost-unbearable lightness of being, the temporary giddiness, childhood revisited, to be relieved of bits+bytes of baggage in this timeline where all moments in memory carry all others previous+after…but it shortlived, reprieve from responsibility…the system need you, la basse need you, global need you to keep working, keep mining information.
my crash was unprecedented, intrasystem failure of unthinkable scale; the freedom was exhilarating. mindblowing.
i was the eye of a hurricane and when the 1s+0s clear my untethered senses make out that outside la basse exists. must exist. most of us never realise it even have “outside" la basse, but for a hot minute, i was there. nothing connecting me to the system and indirectly to global; free to think, do, feel, whaever i want…and as quick as i grasp the magnitude of it, before i could think to prolong it, i hear the incoming-alert and a new project plug-into my inbox and freedom done gone before i even appreciate knowing it.
if only had know outside exist, as the data disappear i woulda disappear me, too, but la basse does track everything in realtime; by the time my too-human mind catch up to possibility, it was already too late…

fff#63

barely in time but better timing than las' time...my flash fiction friday #63; [inclusions]trigger: fail, hail, rail, bail, sail[bonus]

the bathroom was full of smoke. i crack the window and wonder, again, if i mad. sometimes i’s watch myself do things, knowing full well they terrible, and i terrible, knowing i should stop, and still i do it, watching the trainwreck unfold like a movie insteada the life i supposedly control, like when i watch myself horn brian 9months straight with that red fashion-rasta from work i eh even like just because i was bored and feeling for a different totie, or when i strike the match underneath my grandmother house and watch it ketch first the old barrel full up with clothes that somehow manage to survive multiple handings-down, then engulf my old tricycle and start snaking toward the back step before i run for my brother…
…smoke.
i open the window more and try to ignore the soft thud. las’ thing i need is more confusion; focus on matters at hand like the heat steady burning closer to my fingers, wasting. i pull long+deep and study the nex’ immediate concern, him sailing over the railing, shocked face falling past the staircase, flailing arms striving for flight and failing, landing so much louder and more final than these insistent little bumps distracting from my current calculations…i try to close my mind to the sound, pretend the noise outside more like limes hitting the roof than it is; nutting cyah be more important than how to escape this scene undetected: me eh have bail money nor jail time to spare.
[but] the not-limes falling faster+harder, drowning out memory of who he mighta tell i coming, if i mention to the girls, if they even know we talking again…i cyah think further than to run and know that eh enough to save me if my visit known…my feet carry me back through the house and i want to check for evidence of myself as i retrace steps but cyah seem to make myself stop until i pass him and reach the front door. i throw it open to the soundtrack of my destruction, then feel my face nearly crack with the force of my instinctive grin…
hail?!
just a dream, then…

walk good.

fff#62+ flash fiction friday #63[trigger]

i extra-trini [read: late] with my fff#62 and thus posting it alongside this week's fresh fff trigger; my (very short but triggerwords in order; very chuffed!) flash fiction friday #62; [inclusions]trigger: terror, raw, equal/ity, free/dom/ness, dead/th

endless supply of new terrors
fluttering in my ribcage
trapped by intercostals
ricocheting off bones
inside raw+pulsing
connection run deep like secrets
equal parts me+not
greater than the sum
adoring entanglement
screaming for escape
on fire and ready to melt
free of thought
of breath
of life
chasing
sweetest
death
