#Mastoprompt - Grout

There is something in my eyes you see. Do you see how I cannot see? Look closer! My eyes remain shut for opening them is nails against my eyeballs. It's the memories, no doubt. They haunt me. "Leave me alone!" I cry and have cried. But nothing doing. They are a grout sticking my eyes shut. Stuck fast. Shut to everything but them. Save me from those memories, please.

"What was that?!"
"Shhh, go back to bed. It was just the cat."
"We dont have a cat."
"Uh, Snuggles? We've had her since we moved in!"
"Snuggles the imaginary ghost cat?"
"Wait, you thought she was *imaginary*?"

It was a massacre. My entire unit was wiped out again, and I was yet again the lone survivor. We were sure that we would be victorious - after all, how could a lone attacker survive against a full unit of archers and infantry? My brothers in arms fought valiantly, but the man in green was brutal.

I feel like a coward, but I had to carry word back. I had to survive.

Oh Ganon, I hear fighting again. Tell my mother I love her.

"Entschuldigen sie bitte! Wir haben eine halbe Stunde in einer Baustelle festgesteckt."

Herr Pachulke lächelte. Seit zehn Jahren wird er nicht mehr angemeckert. Von Lieferservice auf Selbstabholung umzustellen, war die beste Entscheidung seines Lebens.

If you haven’t explored chapbooks, I highly recommend “maybe this is what I deserve” by Tucker Leighty-Phillips. Tucker’s stories evoke, they conjure, they stir. They get etched into memory.

Tucker is at the beginning of his writing. His first collection “maybe this is what I deserve,” is the first of what I hope will be many books to come. Check it out!
