literallystories2014

She wants to tie me up, but I’m scared, so I don’t let her.

So she gets on top, cowgirl style, bites me on the shoulder.

“OWWW!” I yell.

“I want to hear you scream,” she says.

“Just don’t hurt me.”

“Oh, be a man.”

literallystories2014

I’m out target shooting in the country when I hear the gravel crunch and somebody yells “Hey asshole, what are you doing?”  Without thinking, I turn and shoot him.  Well, shit, nobody should sneak up on somebody and scare him like that.  Before, I can check him out; somebody comes running up with a handgun and screams “You shot my brother.”  I turn around and shoot him too.  Him carrying the handgun, I figure it is self defense.  The first guy was sort of an accident.

If you like religion and cherish pregnancy, you may be a bit perturbed with a couple of parts, so walk away now.

The World in My Eyes by L’Erin Ogle

literallystories2014

The worms are hook shaped, tiny translucent segments with black antennas and bulbous brown eyes, specks floating.

I can see them in the corner of my eyes, wiggling and multiplying.

They have to come out.

The doctor thinks I’m crazy.  I tell him about the worms squirming away in my eye, swimming in my tear ducts.  I see them, whether my eyes are open or closed.  I feel them, the same way I could feel a bug in my ear, a spider in my mouth.  The relentless whisper of antenna against my eyelid makes it twitch nonstop.
