Tears Burning My Skin Novels & Stories

she spits, tears burning her eyes. I inhale. My body wobbles and the invisible thread holding me in place breaks. My eyes hurt. Tears well up and a single tear drops and rolls down my cheek.

I let out a deep breath as I closed my eyes and counted to three as I pulled the shirt off. Tears kept flowing down my cheeks when I looked at the mirror. The skin was burned to a crisp. And I can see the pink flesh. But that was nothing compared to the scars that littered my body.

I didn't have to open my eyes to feel the burning sensation around my wrist and ankle. Getting my nostrils working again, the burning and rotting of flesh wafted to my nose and then a stinging pain hit me. It was so painful, that I was forced to open my eyes and the light in the room burned my eyes that I had to close them as quickly as I opened them. Then, gently, I opened my eyes because the burning pain wouldn't go away. Tears pooled in my eyes as the pain hit every corner of my body, my skin was burning and the chain was eating into its skin.

“Did they get turned into vampires, too?” I shook my head, and the horribly familiar burning in my dried-out tear ducts settled in my eyes, creeping up simultaneously in my throat, and clutching at the back of my nose. I squeezed my lids shut, willing them to flood forth, but – as always – no tears came.

It is seems that he will never forgive me. “I'm sorry if I disappointed you, Grandpa, and I made a mistake,” I said. I bit my lower lip to keep my tears from flowing. He closed his eyes, but he didn't move and didn't even look at me. I just bowed and smiled. Until the tears I'd been holding back flowed. Nothing compares to how I feel right now to what happened tonight. It bothers me that Grandpa was upset because of what I did.

And then suffocated that poor little soul mercilessly. Killian’s eyebrows narrowed when something wet rolled down his cheek. Only then he realized it, his throat was tight, too tight and it was almost choking him in unspoken pain. He hadn’t even noticed when his eyes began to burn and the tear slipped free. His vision blurred. The salt sting mixed with the fire in his gaze. Red strings of blood spread through his bloodshot eyes like the roots of a tree. The crystal drop trembled on the edge of his chin before falling into the air. Another escaped, sliding down over his scarred cheek.

My cheek stings and tears fill my eyes. “DON’T TELL ME NO!” He screams. I can feel the heat of his breath on me and I drop my eyes to the floor. My tears betray me and fall with each blink of my eyes. My cheek throbs and I know it’s going to bruise. I force myself to disconnect and focus on the color of the flooring.

It’s like burning, I can’t take it anymore. Through my lashes, and frightened me. I’m trying to keep my eye closed so I don’t get anything in it. It has blood in it. However, it was too late. Moreover, despite the fact that I first tried to dry my eye with my hand, then with the sleeve of my crocheted cardigan. When it got in, the cardigan started to burn. My eyeball came into contact with something.

The same pains came back, erupting within her chest, the same sweaty tensions gripped at her head, and the same eyes filled up with tears that trailed down the same cheek. Lila sadly stepped back outside and pulled on her boots, deciding that when her mother fully blew up, she would rather not view the fire that would spew from her mouth, nor the lava trails that her arms would cause, sweeping out and smashing all within her reach and more. Lila had suffered the stinging, burning blows to her skin, dying whatever colour was there before into a lumiscent, glowing red that heated up hotter than the radiators in school, during the winters.

I can still feel the burning pain if I closed my eyes. And I guess that I did. Briefly, when I opened my eyes to see the same scar, I touched it to confirm my suspicion. “Wildsilver” I whisper, tears gathering a red cloud in the vicinity of my eyes. No one would understand the pain until they have tasted it before. It was a pain I just never knew was possible…
