Buried Alive

written by: Jenn Hope

@Jennhope12

Soft cold soil of dread,
On my face,
In my hair,
Black and breath taking,
Dampened by my tears,
Crawling with self loathing,
Growing heavier,
Overtaking all open space,
Earthy taste of hate in my mouth,
Blurry vision in dirty eyes,
Sinking all hope and care,
Comforting in my demise,
Tucked in by darkness,
Buried by my own hatred,
Burying myself alive.

Bodies In The Basement by M. Taggart

It was a crisp, damp, October night.
“When we get to the Church I’ll go down first.” Colin was thinking of the moment when both he and Aaron would be standing at the top of the basement stairs peering down into the darkness.
The old stone Church was perched at the top of the largest hill on the prep school’s campus. Colin’s parents were professors at the school and their house was on campus grounds. They’d been waiting for Colin’s parents to fall asleep upstairs. Both boys were comfortable in their sleeping bags on the screened in porch. The lights had been turned out an hour ago and Colin felt it was time to slip into the night ...
