Concertina Harmony

By R. Be Lawrence

Each day we experience an almost uncountable amount of moments, most simply pass us by, while others affect the course of our lives entirely. Some leave a lasting impression on the memory, and sometimes even on our skin, in the form of scars. Some moments teach while others take away.

This is a story of moments, more than you may first be aware of. This is a story about love and just some of the moments in between.

My earliest childhood memory is sitting at a homemade desk in the middle of winter. The desk had to made from old piece of wood because I was so small and young that the desks in the shops were far too big. The glow from the lamp was warm but didn’t travel all that far. I looked up to my father, who was a giant beside, so tall the light could not reach him entirely. ‘Make sure you get a job with a ladder’ he said from the heavens, his words heavy and large on my young ears, ‘a job where you can move upwards’. Those words still, to this day, echo through my being.I fell in love with words and stories as my mother took me to the local library on lazy summer days. I dreamed of writing stories about dragons and being happy forever. Those dreams decayed in my heart as the words of my father came from the shadows where they reside. Those dreams died as time after time any, and every one, told me that being a writer was not a job and I would never get money and be able to live. I listened and here I am fresh out of law school with nothing to show.I suppose this is my final push, my final attempt at writing and living out a childhood dream. Join me on this journey as I rekindled my love of literature and free my imagination from the clasps of the demons born from adulthood.

You most definitely should

I really should, shouldn't I? the music distorted as it came through the cheap, oversized speakers which were precariously placed in the corners of the living room. I could feel Pablo's gaze and grin as he looked at me. I didn't meet his eyes, I couldn't, I was preoccupied, hypnotised, just all-around mesmerised. In front of me, I couldn't tell you how far, because I've never really taken it upon myself to know how much a yard or a meter was, but there sat an angel. Bordered in the doorframe, between the living room and the kitchen, she sat on that marble island, legs dangling off and crossed at the ankles, red cup in one hand, while leaning on the other which was placed behind her. I've always wanted an island in my kitchen but never thought I would want to be one.

"Hi, I’m drunk, and you’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Not saying the drunkenness has anything to do with that. Just possibly involved in me coming up to you. I don’t usually do this, but that’s a cliché. What I mean to say is, I’ve seen the sun break through clouds in the middle of the sea, and thought I saw God; and I've seen the night lighten into the day in my hometown as a homeless man slept in a sofa my neighbours put out. But you're the most beautiful thing I've
