Short Story Of Nimbostratus
Bivouac night sky ensnares him under a bleached moon. The pitter patter of his steps quickens as he sprints down the street.
Trepidation takes him by the throat, filling him with shame and regret and a stagnant knell. I thought I could hear the night making noise, the whispering and uttering of incessant static coming from nowhere and everywhere at once. The constant, inescapable enigma that drapes him and everything he’s ever lived through: it’s nimbostratus veiling his heart. He can’t see through it, and he can’t feel anything through it but acquiesce dejection through it. He blamed himself. Soft, silvery rain falls from a gunmetal sky so densely that my lungs cave in. Gravelly ground greets his face before he can reach his next step,

    I am gripped by fear at the sudden noise. Curse this eye! I can’t see anything in the blackness of this room with two good eyes, much less one. I’m too scared to move. Is it a thief come to steal my treasures? And what of the lad? Surely I would have been awoken by a struggle. The youth would have defended me with his life. Maybe it’s just a mouse crossing the floor. All seems quiet now.…

    The room was eerily quiet, aside from the sound of a latex glove and a creaky bed. The loudest and most unnerving of them all was her heartbeat, which was slow, dangerously slow. Most of the noise around her was drowned out by the beating of her heart, drifting her away from her surroundings.…

    The gentle resonance of Booker’s snoring sounded throughout the bedroom. Tom’s breathing fell into an unconscious rhythm with the soft, nasal rasp, his chest rising and falling with each inhale and exhale of air. Trapped in the REM cycle of sleep, he dreamed of the life he would share with Booker, the life he knew was his destiny. He felt safe knowing the dark-haired officer was by his side, safer than he’d ever felt since becoming an adult, and it wasn’t because Dennis was an outstanding cop. It was the intensity of his lover’s devotion that cocooned him, the love lavished upon him wrapping him in a protective shroud, shielding him from the memories of his assaults. He could not remember ever feeling so loved, so unified. When he was…

    My adolescent legs strain as I continue along the path aimlessly and my stomach rumbles in emptiness as I realise, I left without food. How can one think of such things at a time like that? I most certainly didn't. Just minutes before leaving for an awesome party one doesn’t remember to do a lot of things and now the only thing dwelling in my gut is the sore pain that was the increasing hate for the cruel beings that have abandoned me here. Lost in my thoughts, my melancholic walking pattern is disrupted as my foot catches on a thick branch in the deceptive darkness and I fall swiftly face first into a small jagged rock. Dazed, I lift myself up from the ground and dust myself off. My left eyelid closes automatically as blood rolls down the top of my face. Cursing, I wipe my face with my white sleeve, soaking the cotton a blackish red instantly. The shock disperses and pain sets in, sharp agony mixed with a strange tingling sensation on my forehead.…

    Thump-thump. Thump-thump. Thump-thump. Thump - … Silence, the guiding spirit to a journey’s end. It rings through my body with deafening madness as my heart reaches for that unrequited heartbeat with little to no avail.
