Mistake

15 August, 201612 August, 2016 stellularscribeLeave a comment

I spill the coffee in my lap,
across from me, the TV slaps
a clip of men with
guns strapped to their backs.
The mob screams and claps;
they slur,
but the coffee’s so hot my
vision blurs —

a disgrace.
My mistake.

Undercover novelist: unpublished, unknown, and forced to write in the dead of night. Forever obsessing over the anti-heroes in my head.
