This is the type of dark stuff that churns out when I run out of stuff to write about, I guess. I almost didn’t post it.

By the way, this doesn’t reflect my life at all, haha. I’m perfectly happy. Just trying new boundaries, is all.

I actually really like this. It all works so well. As for trying new boundaries, there’s nothing wrong with that. I think that Ficlets should be a place where you can write whatever the hell you want and not get judged for it.

Such delightful, demented fun. Like Dr. Seuss at a halfway house.

I liked it very much! Extremely amusing in that dark humor sort of way. It reminds me of that one Violent Femmes song—”Kiss Off” I think it’s called.

Gotta say: Pretty much awesome.

Public Service Announcement
This happens extremely often, forced more often than not. Many men and women are forced to take pills that will, very soon, kill them. They are forced by “trusted officials”…. they are forced by doctors.

This is really well done.

Absolutely brilliant my dear. Twisted yet reflecting the lives of oh so many. Lovely work.

i must agree with all the above. amazing like usual.

Great poem with really nice pacing and flow to it. Though I disagree with MBTM . People come in and ask for pills, usually the one they don’t need but saw on a TV commercial. “Forcing” only happens on very rare occassions and involves people who are actively psychotic or so deep in a hole they intend to kill themselves. Probably not what she was talking about, but, eh…

I was talking more about the what happens in my family. My mother, two of my aunts, and most of my grandmothers were put on pills that would have killed them had they not simply said enough. They all got sent to a med-happy idiot that was trying to shut up a loud woman. These people should have been arrested, in my opinion.

Nice one here man. I have a poem similar to this, you can check it out if you want. “This rope around my neck”. But I can sense the emotion in this ficlet. Nice man. Nice.
