Gunslinger of ManhattanI'm a gunslinger. Gun at my side and ammo in my mouth, I take on the world. I come from the West, where the mountains rise like giants and the wind is sweeter than honey. The city is no match for me! With pearly-whites and shine on my gun, I take on the world.Gunslinger of Manhattan4 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
I've never hurt a soul. What good is a gunslinger then? Even with a gun and bullets, I stride down this metropolitan, shamed as all can be. My boots click the pavement like a sad metronome, knocked out of shape from previous escapades. The city-slickers look at me with their black suits and ties, trying to find some meaning in my existence.
Some things don't need a reason to exist, an

Jensen had never been all that good at handling his alcohol. This was one thing that was known as a universal truth. So it was rather important that when he did decide to drink, someone stuck with him, at least until he passed out. That way he didn't do anything to get himself arrested, hurt, or killed. However, one thing none of the Losers could stop him from doing, regardless of his state of sobriety, was keep him from saying something stupid.
This was also known as a universal truth.
And about as futile as trying to stop a force of nature.
So when he did get drunk off his ass, it would usually end with a story that the Losers could

BANG BANG BANG BANG. "HELLO?" Yartek continued to smash the phone against the brickwork. Some rather expensive technology started to crack and splinter under the strain.
Yartek didn't care. It wasn't his phone.
"I KNOW you can hear me!" he bellowed, his squeaky, girly voice echoing down the phone line. "I can hear you giggling."
"That's better."
"What do I want? You know what I want? I want back in!"
"Yeah, I want to be in Doctor Who again."
"Of course you can do it, you're the producer."
"Sod off! You brought the MACRA back!"
"I don't care if they've got a good union. Screw the Macra."

Of suburbia and shopping malls
Is just a mask
A silly facade for a lonely town
Of lonely songs and lonely faces
Where thoughts of joy are
Smothered
By the soft pillows of despair
Acertainty that there is no hope
That it will never
Be better
In the land of lost faiths
And dreams forgotten
Like a scrapyard of human minds
Where happy thoughts rust in heaps
And shattered bits of memories gather dust

Our sin is great, and we suffer shame; but only perfect and final repetance can make us whole; and we are poor creatures who have learned our human weakness, and we know that if we were in those hard straits again our hearts would fail again, and we should sin as befor.

Who ghosted our dear little Caliegh away-
We searched through the fields with growing dread,
And there in the orchard, we found her dead.
We hung him that night from an apple bough,
And cast his ashes before the plow.
Our Caliegh we buried in quiet state,
Cursing the man who brought her to her fate.
And while the wind sighed over her grave
They prayed for the lord her soul to save-
But deep in the field, neath furrowed loam
Something stirred in the ash and bone.

Little child, little child, come hear an old man
Who's tired to the bone.

with Envy and Vanity one ominous night.
They bludgeoned him down with their immoral fists,
pinned him to the ground, and grabbed hold of his wrists.
As young Romance struggled against their gold grips
Rage sent a haymaker straight to his lips;
Sexism kicked at him while he was down,
his sorrowful screams echoing throughout town.
Moral Depravity pulled out his hair
while Impartiality did nothing but stare.
His group of assailants continued to grow
but in the end, Birth Control dealt the last blow:
he plunged a dull knife into Romance's heart
and threw his dead body in an old shopping cart.

We hid in our bunker
Drinking gin, getting drunker
As we blocked the demise of Society

We had nothing to fear

Jensen stepped out of the shower, wrapped a towel around himself, and walked to the beat up old dresser to find something to wear. He was slightly scared to go downstairs and face Cougar, not knowing exactly what their relationship was becoming. But what scared him even more than that, was having to face Clay. He knew for a fact that Clay was as straight as a two by four, so unless Cougar was lying to him about kissing Clay, he might have to do some apologizing. On the other hand, if Cougar was telling the truth about the fact that Clay happened to enjoy the kiss… well…Jensen really d

“Oof!”
I did a face plant into the floor and lay there dramatically. I could hear Ginny sigh.
“Itai…” I muttered.
“S-sorry!” Tetsuki stuttered.
I looked up at him slowly. My head hurt and I liked to over dramatize things.
“You said you’d go easy on me!” I complained.
“I’m sorry!” he repeated.
Tetsuki held out his hand to help me up. I reluctantly took it and bowed. I quickly went back to my spot next to Ginny and sat down with a huff.
“What’s with you?” she asked.
“I thought I would be better at this. We practiced all summer.”

“Aleshi! Slow down! We’re not late! We’re an hour early for class!” Ginny shouted behind me.
I grinned. She couldn’t keep up.
“I know, but I want to explore the classroom and get good good seats!” I responded.
I heard her sigh and giggled silently to myself. We barely had to dodge anyone, seeing as how we were an hour early, so running through the small hallway was easy.
I skidded to a halt in front of the classroom door and caught my breath. I straightened up then noticed Ginny’s reiatsu wasn’t there… I looked around then shrugged it off. Maybe she got lost?

Your bedsheets left wrinkles in my skin
That I trace slowly with the tip of my finger

I watch you sleep, golden lashes brushing round cheeks
The morning sun filters through the curtains
(it looks like a halo around your head.)
A brief flash of my closet romantic
I unplug the alarm clock
(no need for reality to interrupt.)
I know you're not really asleep
That half smile, faintly dancing on your lips gives you away
(i know you too well.)
I let you pretend anyway,
It's all part of the game we play.

And let the darkness into your soul?
And, surrendering consciousness,
Sink down

No, a braver man you'll never find,
But i can not face what's in the mind
When all pretense of control is gone.
And like the gripping siren's song,
All reigns on the steed of thought are wrung
From the hand of the rider who, flung
Off the back of his horse is lost.
To wander the maze of twisted deeds and plots,
Till from the Nightmare's labrynth of pain,
He is jerked free to breathe fresh air again.
And live in fear
Of when he might chance to hear,
