communion.

He is a comma-splice; erroneous and imperfect, a purple thread woven into a tapestry of turquoise. His pronoun-reference is inconsistent with the subject, but his blood fits that razorblade like a slippery, scarlet glove.

Her silver teeth glint against the angry pineapple sky, a jigsaw with a missing piece longing for completeness, as he does. Glass veins twitch like dynamite as steel embraces scar-tissue, a sacred union between lovers; second and third mouths gasp their vows in unison, as his blushing razor-bride leans in for the anticipated kiss without a father's blessing.

    I really love this, definitely what the prompt was asking for, not a piece like mine. Haha, not vomit worth.

    This wasn't puke worthy at all, shut up. Actually, the first paragraph brought me close to tears, it reminds me so much of someone. So very emotive, which is exactly what prose is supposed to be. The only slight problem I have with it, is in some places it's a little wordy. Don't want anyone getting lost in so many metaphors they don't understand the beautiful complexity of your piece. Only complaint. Nicely wrote!
    Read mine, now THATS scary lol.
