SOUTHERN CROSS by Nick Armbrister

Javid was a member of the Catholic Christian church in the sprawling city of Leeds. He was neighbour and friend to Kenna in more ways than one; he lusted after his female friend and soon crossed a line by telling her his thoughts. He knew she was a gothic witch and quite open-minded, how far would she go? He shouldn’t be having these very un-Christian thoughts but he was human. What would his God say if he knew?
Moving to England from America back in the mid 90s, he was a missionary for the Church, his church, and widely regarded in his community. With a loving, child bearing wife and mother of their three children, Javid wasn’t alone sharing his home and life with Diane, his wife of thirteen years. Everything was fine until Javid gave in to his randy thoughts on his neighbour and friend Kenna. At first he tried to ignore them and forget about them but there was something lodged in his brain that wouldn’t go away; his lust for the single parent gothic girl who lived next door. When he made love to his faithful God fearing wife he always thought of Kenna and almost cried out her name when he was coming inside his wife. What would she say if he did so? Would she remonstrate with her husband for sinning, thinking illegal thoughts and then leave him? Or worse still, report her husband to his church who would kick him out in shame? He had to be careful. In his mind he plotted how to get Kenna in bed, even if it was one of the unholy sins and against everything he believed in. Javid’s own pleasure mattered here it had been neglected for too long. His brown quiet eyes hid a cunning mind that would have surprised his wife, if he had admitted to being a potentially bad husband.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kenna was pissed off; her London penpal of twenty years called Paul had upset her again. His text messages were getting more abusive and inflammatory. He accused Kenna of having an affair and of fancying her other penpal of five years, Nigel. This stemmed from an argument Kenna and Paul had over if they should meet, she questioned why he was always so pushy and rude, he replied it was because he was a dominant man. And that he loved her. It was a strange way to show it.
She was having none of his nonsense and mentioned that her other penpal from Manchester, Nigel, wasn’t bossy or rude and he would no doubt treat her like a lady and queen. And on top of that, both shared the same interests of gothic music and reading. Paul reacted like he was meant to and spat his dummy out, giving Kenna a small victory and some respect showing she wasn’t a lady to be messed with. It was at this time Kenna texted her neighbour and friend Javid to come round so she could talk about her man trouble, he agreed and gently knocked on her front door.
The two friends talked for twenty minutes, Kenna explaining in a vexed voice just what Paul was like and Javid nodding in agreement in the one sided talk.

When Javid said what was on his mind, it took the blond haired girl by surprise, not helping her out with the trouble with Paul. He announced rather quickly: “I think of you when I masturbate Kenna. I have for a while now, I know I mustn’t due to the church and my religion but I can’t help myself. I just can’t.”

Hike

I’ve been on an eight mile hike with my mate, getting out of town.                                                                Up roads, to the Waterworks to give a witch my Amelia Earhart spell.                                                                                     Venturing through farmer’s fields, over dry stone walls and under barbed wire fences. Wondering, where’s the damn path?                                                                                                        Up to Bishop’s Park monument, fucking crazy view of crap Oldham,                                                Manchester and distant Warrington. I went to look at the distance marker but some cunt had nicked it!                                                                                                                                                   How high up are we, one thousand feet I think.                                                                                          

Back down to get ale and kebab, into town.                                                                                               We saw a homeless cunt who wished us,                                                                                                          “Have a shit evening lads!”                                                                                                                      Fuck you too tramp!                                                                                                                                   We saw the after affects of a lad being hurt,                                                                                        fifty yard blood trail that led from the back of the ambulance to another pub.                                                         My shit town, we escaped for a bit.

METALLIC

METALLIC


Twisting rusting wire tightly wound round the base coiling its way from electrode to electrode dancing in blue electricity reflecting off the dull tarnished surface, metallic colours shine in the dimly lit light making pain burn through my body, torturing me with pleasure and pain in a collage of hell.

I’m a human mind hooked up for the electrical trip of a lifetime.

It's Spanner Time

It's Spanner Time
The factory bullies were real fucking cunts. Solid gold motherfuckers. Being permanent staff, they felt they could do, and did, what they wanted. Their tongues were right up the boss' hairy arse.
There's only one thing worse than a brown tongued arse licker, a fucking bully. Safety in numbers, four against one. That's how it always was and will be. Four cunts picking on one quiet hard worker.
It's often the new boy or the agency worker who gets it. If being on a lower wage isn't enough, deal with the bullies.
Ignoring them might make them stop. Or it might not.
Report them to the boss. The very same boss whose arse they lick.
Take a Glock pistol into work and blow them away. You're on a multiple murder rap then.
None of those solutions will work. I suggest getting a set high quality stainless steel spanners. Put them under your shirt. Allow the bullies to bully you.
Show you're upset then take out a 22MM spanner and smash them the fuck up. When each is on the floor unconscious, take out your duct tape. Secure their mouth, legs and feet.
Then pull down their jeans and shove large size spanners up their skinny butts. Give them a few kicks with your steel tipped boots for good measure. Justice is done.
To deter them, leave a note saying, Bully me again, I really will fucking Glock you. Be nice to people. You set of cunts.

get paid for posting your poems...

right then. this is legit. we've all heard the horror stories of being offered free cash for writing poems or stories and been let down, lied to, ripped off etc. in my long writing career (20 years in april 2016), ive been almost scammed, lied too and the rest of it. vanity publishers were the worst. offering to publish my Juniper's daughter novel in 2001. ive still got the contract, unsigned, as a reminder. they wanted several grad to print a couple of thousand books. no distribution, online listing or f*ck all. self publishing blew such 'companies' away. ive seen 1 or 2 sites offering cash for poems before over the last decade. and always avoided them. then saw this 1 on a writing group here and took a chance. after all, what can go wrong lol? im very cynical. my cynicism was proved refreshingly wrong. i posted several poems and got paid for doing it. the option is there for me to post more. ive thousands of poems. ill post some later. right now, i want my writer friends/colleagues to post some. this is legit, i vouch for it. after all, ive experienced it. so away you go. this project gets my full respect and support. link is here.http://www.realisticpoetry.com/earn-money-for-writing-poetry-program
