Chapter Two of the Deviant Art Odyssey

Her seatmate's skin was gray traced with golden designs, his hair wafted around his head as though underwater, and his eyes did not blink as he studied her. "Who are you?" she asked, but before he could answer the vinyl underneath her blistered and disintegrated and a city flared up around them, towers beaming into the dark as neon rainbows swiveled into place just above eye level. "Tokyo," she realized. "So many mortals," the gray man mused. "Is it even possible to save them all?" He reached out to touch the head of a passing child, fingers shining with an ominous light, and she threw herself in his way. Before her eyes cou

What Do You Do Then? by lethelen, literature

Literature

What Do You Do Then?

What if I don't? I know I'm supposed to I know it'd be smarter to I know it's what you've always wanted for me. But what if I don't? I don't think it would be that bad. I've never wanted this I've never loved this I don't have anything to prove to anybody. And if I didn't? It'd be harder. It'd be more work, more effort, more hours lost and you would never understand. What if what you want isn't what's best for you but it's still what you want?

The Heart Remembers by lethelen, literature

Literature

The Heart Remembers

Flying high reaching beyond you I am greater and greater and greater still. My heart is so full of beauty I no longer hurt for you my head so full of words even your name is being slowly obliterated. I will forget who you were to me. What you meant to me. I will forget what we said to each other I will forget your eyes, your smile, the twist in your gaze that made you seem endless when it was really just a blind corner, shallow and deceptive. But I will never forget what it felt like when you hurt me. The mind is easily reset; the uneraseable memories are in the heart.

Degrees of Separation by lethelen, literature

Degrees of Separation

It never mattered to me not the way it mattered to you. I was following you with my eyes with my words, with my thoughts, and you brushed me away unable to care unable to reciprocate unable to explain why. Which is the greater fault? You were not honest with yourself and so you were not honest with me. Do you know what that day was like? Being told by someone else? Do you know how betrayed I felt not that you had finally come clean but that I had to hear it through the grapevine? That's when I knew I was nothing to you.

Equals

You're beautiful. You know it; I know it and the girls orbiting you know it, too. You're the Disney Prince sharing yourself like private sunlight doled out to the poor hopefuls starving for your smile. But you didn't recognize me at first last night and now I know why. You haven't seen the new me so let me introduce you. First of all, you need to know that I am beautiful, too. I figured that out just recently but now that I know, I'm getting prettier every day. Second, I should tell you that I am smart. I've found what my heart wants most and I'm going to get it. Last, I am bright, too. You glow like the stars but I burn

Recognize Me by lethelen, literature

Literature

Recognize Me

I did not understand that look. So often you and I look at each other so often I have seen your eyes in every mood, every light. I would recognize them anywhere. But I did not understand that look. It was both inside and outside, light and dark, like you were communing with yourself but still seeing me still speaking with your eyes. And I wonder what it means that I have seen this strange contrariness. You considered me, I think and also something else I cannot guess at compared them or mixed them or both together and I begin to think that that moment was the first time I saw past your eyes the first time your eyes were ope

Nevermore by lethelen, literature

Literature

Nevermore

I miss you. I miss talking to you. I miss being with you. I miss looking for reasons to see you, to text you, to ask you to lunch. I miss your smile your laugh and the way getting your texts made me feel. But we cannot exist together so we must find a way to exist apart touching only at the edges, no longer close but still lingering on the outskirts of each other's lives wondering if we'll get invited back in wondering if that would be best. Because truthfully, I don't miss you as much as I thought I would. I miss you like I miss a friend I don't share as much with now as I used to. I miss you like I miss a familiar routi

Maturity by lethelen, literature

Literature

Maturity

Can you reach for something bigger than yourself? Can you dream even the wildest thing? Can you plan a plan that can never, ever possibly work? Can you? Can you still? A child can. A pre-teen, maybe. But have you 'matured'? Have you become the next generation of 'the grown-ups'? Have you seen something beautiful lately? Have you viewed the world upside-down? Have you seen the bright blue of the sky and dreamed of flying? Of course you haven't. There is no time for all of that now. Those things belong to a past of carefree, younger days. These days, you need to make money and eat, and pay the rent. Who has time for dreams?

Version by lethelen, literature

Literature

Version

You can't stand me because you don't know who you are but I know myself. You have failed, but I have won everything you ever wanted. You can't stand me because I am the bright darkness the hiding seek-er the sunny night the contradiction. You can't stand me- I am the doubt, the warning, the instinct. I am the dream you have forgotten but cannot let go. I am all the music, everywhere. You can't stand me because I talk like you, walk like you- I look like you, but I am not you. I am the version of yourself you didn't have the courage to be. And you can't stand me because you can't stand yourself.

Just Narrowly Escaped a Heart Attack

0 min read

Yeah, you know that movie with the cannibal in it, the Hannible Lector guy?  I hven't actaully seen it, but apparently there's a part of the movie where he saws through some guys' skull and eats his brain?  I used the same kind of saw just now, and was encouraged to actually put my hand against the blade.  *this was the bit with the near-heart attack, in case you were wondering*  I didn't do it, of couirse- saw+on button+putting your hand against the blade=no, for me- but I saw it done and the blade doesn't actually cut you. Yeah, right. So I'm still not sure on whether or not I'm going to try that any time soon, since I'm torn between 'liv

Still Writing, But With Unnecessary Roadblocks

0 min read

Suffice it to say my access to a computer has become a little sketchy and irregular, not to mention DeviantArt has been giving me grief (not the system, the glitches therin) so I'm trying to post steadily!  Bear with me, here- I'm still writing, I promise- it's just in longhand.  Plus I keep getting inspired for other stories and I'm like 'No!  Gotta focus on this one!  Gotta focus on this one!'

Review of Naruto, Chapter 480

0 min read

*SPOILER ALERT*    So I just finished reading Chapter 480 of Naruto- suffice it to say I am no longer a Sasuke fan.  I'll still hope that, in the final epic battle between him and Naruto (you know that's where this is heading) Naruto finds some way to save him.  But until that happens, no, no more Sasuke allegiance here.  Even SasuxSaku is going to be a stretch now, though I suppose I will just have to pretend in my mind that the Sasuke I see in those pictures is post-Naruto salvation.  That way I can be okay with it.    But that was just so, so wrong!  I mean, AAGGHH!  I can't stand that he did that!  She TRUSTED you, Sasuke!  Here he sp
