'kates' the words she never says


A singular person is multiple things, it is psychologically impossible for us to be just, one, thing. Humans are complex, ever-changing and evolving. But what do I know?
              I’m just some nobody who is constantly thinking about things that can never be.

I know that there’s kate, me, there’s the kate that listens to music in the dark thinking about what she will do tomorrow and the next day and the next day…and the next, and kate who will always go back to listening to my favourite 80’s anthems, wishing she could have seen the people she adores so much.
              Who’s to say we can only be one person? Confined to the physicality’s of the world.
There’s the kate who will forever want to be an actress, or an astronaut and live in space, or or, the kate that wants to be really smart and reads Stephen hawking in hopes that one day she’ll be a theoretical physicist. The one who wishes she could write like Jane Austen and John Green and Sally Rooney. The one who wants to become a detective or the one that thinks she’ll move to Europe and become an enigma to the people who once knew her.
                             There’s also the kate that knows none of this will ever happen. The pratical one, the one that lives in the real world rather than her dream one. The one that knows she will probably end up doing something dull and meaningless and forever regret not following her dreams.

Kate who loves the piano and will forever dream of owning one, and playing for people, swaying her head to the beautiful sounds she creates. The kate who knows she can’t sing but will forever imagine herself standing beside her idols and expelling air with melodies of love.
              I think i…
                                           The kate who loved words so much she could go on for hours about why a writer did this or that and how, who now doesn’t know what happened to that love?
Where did you go?
                                           Or maybe she just found her itch, found she can write out the sadness in people, weird un-uniformed words coming together in an artistic manner trying to make sense while becoming all the more a mystery.
The kate who hates everything she writes and wishes she could burn digitally uploaded words, her own worst critic. The kate who knows, I know, that people will read this and think, yet another tragic girl complaining about her life. The kate who knows barely anyone will read this, and yet she will keep trying and trying.
                                           The kate who sometimes wishes she could just give up her words instead
                                                          Of always hating them.
The kate writing this right now, letting the thoughts and emotions flow out of her onto one big digital page full of wishes and dreams and what ifs and what nots and I wish and maybe tomorrows, who feels like her mind is either running 100 miles per hour or not working at all.
                                                          The one who…

The me. Always me

                             Who are you?
 How many sides do you have?
 Is there sad or happy or both?
 Are you hopeful?
 About what?
Do you see now what I mean? You are
never one thing, but rather a dimensional
character of lots of things.
         
        Never let them tell you different.                              

                                                              Promise?

"East to Eden pt. two: EDEN" A short story by Katlynn Chrans

East to Eden pt. two: EDEN ; By Katlynn Chrans Seven Years on Eden “Ara, come here right now I need to finish braiding your hair” the kind-hearted woman yelled after me. I smiled and darted behind the large berry bush, twigs and leaves finding their way into my semi-braided hair.    My breath left my lips heavily, the slight chill creating a chapped cover. I peered through the gaps as the plump woman bounded out of the cabin, hawking around the camp for me. I created an ‘O’ shaped with my lips and chirped, hoping she would play the game, giving her a small indication of my hiding spot.    “Ara I am serious, you know today is a big day, and Uyre will not be pleased by your behaviour young lady” she called in my direction.    Rolling my eyes I slowly made my way out from behind the bush, pulling the soft red berry off its stem and plopping it in between my teeth.    “Roslix, I was only getting some breakfast, isn’t that the most...

"Regrets and Not Regrets" A short story by Katlynn Chrans // trigger warning

Regrets and Not Regrets; By Katlynn Chrans The millisecond it took for my foot to leave the platform of the bridge was the millisecond I realized I didn’t want to fall. August   2017 I woke up to the sun shining through my closed eyes, birds chirping outside the thin glass window that bordered the willow tree on the back of our small house. Today was the day, I was finally a senior, and I would finally be treated like a mature young adult. “Olivia, sweetheart, are you awake?” my moms melodic voice carrying down the hallway called to me, “Yes” I called back, opening my eyes I swung my legs onto the floor, my feet shocked by the cold wood. I opened my side table drawer and grabbed a pair of new socks, to celebrate the occasion, slipping them on I rose from my bed. As I stood in front of my mirror I quickly tied my hair into a bun and wiped the sleep from my eyes. “Honey I have your breakfast, it’s your favourite” she calls from the kitchen. Bounding down t...

"The Dark Days and The Bright Nights: Part Zero" A short story by Katlynn Chrans

Part Zero; By Katlynn Chrans “The results came from the lab yesterday” the doctor said grimacing at the few sheets of paper that will define the entirety of my future.    “And?” I asked nervously clenching my fingers together, I looked everywhere but the sorrow drowned eyes of the man in front of me.    “Hazel, you have a grade five Glioblastoma tumour located on your brain stem.” He said slowly, pity dripping after every word.             I watched a robin land on the edge of a tree branch, putting her faith in herself that it won’t simply break. The words Dr. Jones said barely audible over the buzzing of my thoughts.    “The location, and the type will make it very difficult to remove by surgery, however we can start you on radiation therapy very so-“    “No, I don’t want therapy, but thank you” I interrupted slipping my coat over my shoulders I hop off the examination table...
