Short Story / Note to self: Pins and needles, nothing less
I’m learning how to turn myself on and off. With just a swift movement from within, I feel the switch… I feel the turn of the knob, the chord unplugged. All that I feel, the distant hum, the darkness, the gloom…it’s just the death of you. I’m transforming. Fitting, taking forms I never knew I could. Just to save myself, to save myself from you. I admit, yes, it’s in defense…another mechanism. But at least I don’t run away. I cope. I manage, I control it. It doesn’t control me anymore. It was useless anyways…to feel…everything to the core. Someone has to hurt, but not me. I pick a spot, I file it away. It’s the only time in my life that I’ve felt organized…the only time the chaos goes away…the only time I find myself. It’s a search for an end. An end to the shock, the pain, all the eats away at me. So I make silence fall. I make it light me…and I let it burn out. I can take it, bend it and make it spring back. The confines of my mind…I draw. A new parallel I connect from my heart to my mind….of dotted lines…with or without you…

Beautifully written. You can be talking about a wide assortment of things in this piece which is wonderful because people can take it as their own. People can take their own “mechanism” and fill in the blanks with it. I think that is what makes the piece great. Again..I really liked it.

This was extremely well-written, but your constant use of ellipses drove me mad. I’m sure you used this for effect, but it just distracted me from the piece. Still, it was a beautiful bit of writing.
