So few words yet they are powerful enough to bring the images to one's mind - the horror of it all!
Yes, no milk today - curdled intent has ruined it!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Sheila...it is all so awful....the intent, yes. curdled.

How do we ever get our heads around the loss of humanity at such a devastating cost? I pray that prayer can heal us...

Such a stirring tribute, Jacob.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Kelly...this is all so difficult to find perspective of...

No milk, no creamer...

We need to pray also for those heartless creatures to find their conscience.

Complete story in it's conciseness.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that conscience is so lost...
thank you, Dhaye.

It won't end until the people have really had enough. For now, we are still taking it all in I guess

[jacob erin-cilberto]

saw just a bit ago that France is bombing the hell out of Syria's Isis holdings...

but will violence just beget more violence? i don't know.

Short and delicious. Very few words, but still exceptionally descriptive. I feel like I'm living a live with no milk today. Always a joy to read your work!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

it's all too crazy and tragic....thank you, Elwyn.

A very moving piece. I could even smell the scent of coffee brewing and pastries in the air. The sound of laughter, of people chatting. Lovers holding hands, a shared kiss. Then in a moment the world went dark, and I touched my face to see if my eyes were still open. Hoping it was just a dream. But I awaken to a tragedy for all humanity. Praying for peace
in the world
in the midst of such darkness.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for sharing your thoughts, the dream....i wish we could wake up and all this was not true....when and where will it happen next? they won't stop....
i am praying too, Roma.

You're welcome j.
It was beautiful and the image was very powerful.
The last line "overturned coffee" really spoke to me.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the victims and their families. And just before the holidays. It's heart breaking.
All we could do is pray for peace.

I dream of a fog filled street in Paris, lit by the gas-lights. Hard to accept the present day.
Thank you for this write.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words,

I hear you what you be talking 'bout: #ParisAttack!

It's such a same that people are being forgotten - have lost humanity - the piece of s***s, no matter what. Whatever damn just seemed to be left behind's nothing but the shades of misery. You capture real nice moments of ... "TODAYs" in words quite well...

... short, simple and beautifully written to the point!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Adams....

Sums up the mood of many, uniting in thought for the ones that will never finish their coffees.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

[Zahra]

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Zahra....
