A Place Far Away

22 November, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

The contents of the sack scrambles and jumps around at my back as I walk down the damp cobblestone road. It was raining tremendously last night, never have I heard nor seen its likeness before. It seemed to me like a sign, and that is why I chose today to begin my journey. The sun … Continue reading A Place Far Away

The Living Forest

21 November, 202022 November, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

The wind carries with it the sound of malicious laughter, and eyes seem to watch me as I journey throughout the cold and eerie woods. For many hours I have walked... and yet it seem although it have yielded no results. So very strange I think to myself, someone like me, a great navigator, actually … Continue reading The Living Forest

Shelter (Draft)

20 November, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

Upon the summit of a great hill rests a tree of many years, an ancient creature of bark and sap who dutifully watches the lives of human pass beneath its benevolent gaze. Shielded from the world by the roots of this tree lay a human boy of few years. The shine of life given off … Continue reading Shelter (Draft)

Under The Moon

19 November, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

I sit on a rock outside my hut, gazing up at the moonless vault of heaven. Waiting for oh so very long, but to no avail, fore she comes not. Tears starting to form in my eyes as the realization dawns, hitting me hard and causing me to slip down from the wet rock and … Continue reading Under The Moon

Addicted To Being Human (Draft)

18 November, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

She knows not what I am... and I have not intent of telling her. Her happiness is everything to me, even though it may be built upon a castle of lies and deceit. The door creaks as I force it open, sweat streaming down my swollen red cheeks, be hasty or be dead. I throw … Continue reading Addicted To Being Human (Draft)

The Subterranean Trials #1

17 November, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

The last thing I remember before waking up in this strange place is a forelorn feeling, sadness and abandonment. A familiar figure was looking down on me, tears streaming down the face, a visage covered in a veil of shadows as it turns from me, slowly moving further away from my grasp. I reached out … Continue reading The Subterranean Trials #1

The King Of Ice (Draft)

13 November, 202013 November, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

The chill wind of a late winter night sweeps over the forest as the man who carries with him a curse of ice enters its bounds. Animals scramble to escape his icy touch, leaving an eerie calm over the once oh so vivid forest. The man shudders at the behest of his curse, for he … Continue reading The King Of Ice (Draft)

Perfect Is A Tragic Delusion

15 October, 20204 February, 2021 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

There is no such thing as perfect, and yet we oftentimes spend our entire lives trying to achieve it. Oh, how tragic it is that we need suffer so for what is not even real. Be he peasant or king, it matters naught, for human greed is without bounds. We tell ourselves that once we … Continue reading Perfect Is A Tragic Delusion

Betrayal (unfinished)

8 September, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

With a rough push by a dear friend I lose my standing on the soil underneath, plunging down into total darkness. Reaching out to find a hold, but the sides of the well are wet and slippery, making hope of hindering my descent to certain doom nonexistqnt.

No Escape

7 September, 2020 ~ Benjamin Bratz ~ Leave a comment

Shadows creep up the sides of the narrow tunnel as two figures close in on me. In a haste, I attempt to backtrack, but to no avail. Strong fingers press my shoulders down, keeping me fixed in position, more so due to fear than actual force. I get warm with sweat as I consider the … Continue reading No Escape
