Tightrope-Walkers

10 May, 202011 May, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

“Life is a gift, treasure it”.  So said my mother the day before she took her own life.  Living is like walking on a thin line whilst trying to cross over to the other side of a mountain range… Needless to say, it is a daunting task. And as such, it is impossible to stand … Continue reading Tightrope-Walkers

Another World

9 May, 202010 May, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

I lay on the ground, staring up at the green sky above, a horned butterfly sitting perched on my nose, twitching and playing around. I smile in a daze “Haha, how cute…”. As I now become fully conscious, I realize that something is wrong, very wrong. I sho the butterfly away with a hasty motion … Continue reading Another World

Sunny Afternoon

8 May, 202010 May, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

I sit rested on a blanket spread wide on the damp grass, slowly lifting my right arm to wipe the sweat of my brow. I chuckle a bit as I heed notice to the sun above. The ball of fire looks down on me, smiling, a bit like the one in the children's cartoon "Teletubbies". … Continue reading Sunny Afternoon

I have been working as a high-paid manager at an accounting firm for about a year now, but while it is to my satisfaction that money no longer appears to be a problem, my state of mind is in its worst shape ever. Truth to be told I am not satisfied with this job, it … Continue reading Envy

The Leaf’s Journey

6 May, 20202 April, 2021 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

The old proverb: “With age comes wisdom”, appears to have some truth to it, at the very least to an old and brown leaf such as I. Never could I have imagined there being such a vast world out there, beyond the place of my birth, and away from my mother-tree. I was once green and … Continue reading The Leaf’s Journey

The Unfortunate Monster

5 May, 20203 June, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

Once upon a time in a quaint old hut, a shriek could be heard, beckoning the coming of new life on earth. The creature being a disfigured mess of limbs and claws, slimy due to the nature of his gestation. The young creature examines his surrounding eagerly, seeking comfort, seeking love. As none is to … Continue reading The Unfortunate Monster

Addicted to Being Human Their happiness is everything to me, even though it may be built upon a castle of lies and deceit. My daughter and wife are probably looking for me at this very moment, confused as to why I suddenly ran away, afraid even… But I cannot tell them, for that would be … Continue reading Featured Fiction Shorts
