You joke that I have tunnel vision.
And truly, I think you are right.
Say I’ve closed my eyes to love,
that I only feel spite.
But all I can feel,
and all I see
is what’s in
front of
me.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

Excellent!!! Loved it!!!♥♥♥
Ah, also known as the honeymoon phase, I think!! Well written and smartly executed!! Great work Cathy!!
This has been interestingly put together. 'Tunnel vision' was often used on me by an ex too.
Brilliant! What a stunning stab of final lines!
Oh, I felt this one for sure. Powerful work, my friend <3
Excellent piece, and a real case of "if the hat fits"!
Absolutely epic piece! So many good entries to this challenge :)
I guess that's what love does to someone. Truly heartbreaking. Loved your Nonet!
Ouch. I mean, that's a burn.
Another punchy entry! Great job Cathy! 😊👏
So good. I think it’s so easy for relationships to slide into this…. So well written.
Oooh that final line is a stunner, Cathy! Wonderful Nonet!
Could not agree more. We speak truth by what we see and hear. Hypocrites only see and hear what they want to. Well said Cathy.
Damn! That was so good. Loved the title and pic too, my friend :)
Incredible work!
Great job Cathy
