The Plague of You

~ Alyss.Hattigan

Days and weeks after you’ve been gone there are still signs of you. Nothing good, of course, that would be a false sense of hope. No. Everything you’ve left behind is a mess for me to clean up. Why couldn’t you have done something useful for once?

The clean up began weeks ago, I thought I was done. How wrong I was. Everywhere I look there’s a small piece of you there. Disgusting. How can someone who had only been around for a few months leave such a mess behind? Why has life cursed me with beings like you?

Everyday is like my own personal hell. Thanks to you. Eventually I will be able to clean up the last of your mess, and I will celebrate. That day could not come soon enough. My hell will be of my own creation after that. I can return to the comforts of my personal hell den. I look forward to that day.

I'm not sure what there is to say. I'm an aspiring novelist looking to eventually publish a book. My goal for this year is to write flash fiction or a short story everyday. Intense, I know, but if I want to improve my writing skills then that's what I need to do. I attended a panel at OryCon in 2018 of authors that pretty much said if you want to be a writer, if you are a writer, make time for it and make it happen. So that's what I'm doing. My writing changes day to day but almost always fantasy fiction. From time to time I will write 18+ shorts, in which case I will notate beforehand. I hope you enjoy what I have to present, and if you don't, tell me what you don't like so I can improve my writing.
