The CD Complex
It was dark. The leaves are blowing in the wind & the sound of whistling flows through the air. It’s mid-november & the trees are already losing their leaves. Like a dried up sponge, they shrink & break off to gather along with their leaf relatives. The moon shining brighter than normal, it lit up the space around the area.

Demi & The Cabin
I wake up to sounds of bells jingling. I rub my eye to notice a black smear on my hand. I realize I had makeup on from the night before. "What happened" I said to myself. Looking at the time on the back of my door, I see an iPad on the back door to the bedroom. 12:30pm it reads. "Holy Pumpkins!" I have to get ready! I rush to the bathroom to wipe the makeup on my face off "Oh! I'm like the crypt keeper!" I said in a shocking & horror manor in the mirror holding my hands to the side of my face. I rush to wash up & get ready. Indecisively, I pick a color to match out my outfit for the day. "There's a lot of Halloween clothes in my closet now. I have to resell them. At the least, replace them with turkey clothes." I said with an eager look on my face. I take my orange & blue bag from the hook on the wall next to the entrance of my apartment & head out.

The Muddy Shoes
It was cold & wet. The rain had picked up with no warning. My shoes filled with mud & dirt. "When did all this rain come from." I said. I step on the mat while I take off my shoes in hopes to not further damage the carpet. "Do not put them dirty shoes over there!" Someone explained. "Put them in the bath tub Where you can wash them off & let them dry!" She yells from a distance. "Fine then MOM!" I said jokingly. Before I pick up my sneakers that's filled with mud, I rip off a some sheets of paper towels from the kitchen next to me to put under my shoes, not to drop any mud in the house. I progressively move to left towards the bathroom where the shower is. "Don't start without me!" I yell as I'm moving towards the bathroom with what supposed to be my black & blue sneakers I got from the shoe store not too long ago.

The Café
In a cafe so small & chické, I stand near the fire warming my hands. The cold winds become so loud the doors start to clap as if someone is banging to symbols together. Contemplating my next move, someone walks up to me with a kitchen vest. “Do you need anything sir?” He asks. “Yes, I’ll have a salted caramel hot chocolate. Thank you”

Halloween 🎃
A small shadow of fog as dark as night makes its way down the road. You look in the sky as the clouds form. Dark & gray clouds blend together like two colors on a paint tray. You look around as the fog spreads like a wildfire covering the land. The fog feels like dry ice as it comes close to the town. You walk around along the brown dried sidewalk through the fog.

October
You wake to a breeze. A cool flow of wind that sends slight shivers through the body. You question if the summer is over & winter arrived sooner than later but it didn’t. Autumn is here & the leaves came to play. Sweater weather breezes in & warm climates hovers & leaves. The leaves bloom in and change color whilst breaking off its parental guardian the tree to leave the nest, falling to the ground. The wind arriving in waves blowing the leaves in every direction. Subtle shine from the sun that evolves the green petals of nature to blend in with the aesthetics that is fall.

The Question
The question that comes into my head. Reoccurring as if the reason is slowly slipping away. Jokes were made & strides to the end goal felt nice but still, emotions rose & the question is live. Filled with imagination, thoughts & explanations reach the surface as you wonder what may come of this.

The Bench
Emotions stagnant. In a space you’re used to but not comfortable with. You don’t mind it because it’s with family but the vibes of you connecting with everyone is different from my own. Looking at different aspects of everyone else’s life gives you perspective of life. Loneliness & positivity is what is given but unable to enjoy any moment at a party & bring everyone else to the limelight isn’t something that’s normally done. Joy & happiness through self love is what’s facilitated.

Cravings
You look down. Watching the water drip down like a raindrop on a window. You look at the clock, 10:30pm. You already had dinner but boredom sneaks up & what follows is the craving. The mental urge to indulge & consume substances for that one hit of dopamine. The idea of a drug that consumes the mind but you try to justify your actions. Its said that a small satisfaction of one bite will justify the craving but then one bite becomes a multitude of bites.

The Power of Control
Everyday I await your call. To check up on me & see how I am doing. The only one that gets me up when I don’t feel like getting out in the world. My reconnection help build to something deep & close & all we do is talk. Nowadays it seems like more of those I love are disappearing & I’m left with me & my thoughts.

The Silence
5 pm! Still got 5more hours you til the end of the day. Looking through the glass doors surrounded by brown material that costs a lot of money. Nothing but people wearing masks and cars going crazy. Traffic everywhere & yelling pedestrians seem like a very busy afternoon.
