Betrayal - Short Story Part 6He reads the inscription to himself again, repeating the words over and over in his mind.....he's seen them before, he will never forget them. The color leaves his face and his hands tremble. The ring slips from his grasp and rolls across the dining table.

He reaches across the table to pick it up and places it on his finger. He lays his head down and closes his eyes. "I'm sorry.....I'm so sorry.....", he whispers to himself, disgusted by what he's done to her....for everything that brought them to this moment.

"It's too late to call her, and she wouldn't pick up anyway", he says as he gets up and walks toward the couch. "I don't know where

Betrayal - Short Story Part 5It's very late as she approaches the city. The streets lined with parked cars. Only a few people dwindle on the sidewalks, smoking cigarettes and chatting outside of bars.

She spots a hotel down the street settled between a row of shops and high-rise apartments and pulls into the parking garage.

The security guard at the gate is sipping a cup of coffee and reading a paper, occasionally glancing at the screens flickering for the security cameras. She pulls up to the gate and greets him.

The guard looks up from his paper, nods and pushes the button to lift the gate. She parks near the elevator and gets out.

Walking to the elevator, she can

Betrayal - Short Story Part 4The rain has slowed to a drizzle now. It's late and only a few shops and restaurants are still open. A few people pass by, hailing cabs to head home for the night.

Wandering through the maze of sidewalks downtown, he stops for a moment underneath the awning of a small shop. The rain gently splashing off the vinyl covering and falling to the concrete below.

He leans against the cold brick wall and pulls out a cigarette. He lights it and takes a long drag. Puffs of smoke roll out in front of him into the darkness.

He checks the time and puts his cigarette out. He starts walking toward the subway terminal about a block away. The wind starts t

Betrayal - Short Story Part 3The woman sits silently in her car in an abandoned store parking lot. The windows are fogged up....she has been crying on and off for hours now.

Smeared mascara stains her cheeks. Her hands red and sore from gripping the steering wheel tightly for so long.

The glow from the overhead streetlight makes the rain-soaked streets shimmer in the blackness of the night.

She doesn't know the time....she doesn't care.

She curls up across the front seats to lay her head down and close her eyes for a moment.

The evening's events have worn her....mentally, emotionally, physically. She is cold and alone, but doesn't know where to go.

She reaches for

Betrayal - Short Story Part 1Coming home, keys in hand.

They've barely left the lock and the door swings open.

Her arms weighed down with groceries and objects from random errands after a long day at work.

She Lets out a sigh, stress from the day releasing like steam from a teapot.

Glancing up, figures catch her eye, but the first time was deceiving...a blur.

Looking up again, she sees them clearly, together....entwined, sheets tangled around their bodies.

The objects in her arms seem to become weightless as they drop to the floor, crashing and scattering in a heap at her feet.

She can feel the shock forming upon her face, stunned and bewildered as if time froze.

Betrayal - Short Story Part 2Raindrops fall at a steady pace, pelting his face as he looks down the sidewalk to the street corner.

He pulls his coat up around his face and runs down to the streetlight at the corner....soaked to the bone, wiping the water from his eyes.

He spots a cab in the distance and begins to flail his arms hoping to get it's attention. The cab pulls up to the corner and he slips into the back seat to escape the downpour.

"Where to, Mr.?" the cab driver inquires.

"I don't care....anywhere but here....there's someone I need to find, but I can't even think of where to start. Just drive, please...." his words fade off to silence and the cab driver s

Oooooh I really like this one. Your art would look really cool on the wall, it's got soooooo much presence when you look at it from afar and then it draws you in and you're like "WHAT?! It's just shapes!? This is MADNESS! MADNESS I SAY!"

=graffitica Feb 7, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Wow, thanks so much!

I didn't know you even kept up with my work, so hearing such nice comments is one hell of a treat.

Yes, it is just shapes! haha! It's my signature of sorts, has been for a long time. Not difficult to do, just tedious.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

*Remember2Live Feb 7, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

I'm not a very GOOD stalker, mostly because I watch a lot of people and groups so I'm always flooded with pictures, but I lurk about and check in every once in a while.

Your work always fascinates me. I imagine that you must be a very intelligent woman to be able to create such strong pictures with such little chaotic shapes, seeing the big picture like that is always something I've really admired in artists, and something that I've always struggled with myself

Also I really like what you're doing lately, the branching out and forming more scenes instead of the more abstract works, what you do is unique and you're damn good at it, so keep it up lady!

=graffitica Feb 7, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

haha! I do the same. I am in so many groups and I try to get through the pieces as efficiently as I can, but man it's hard! XD I appreciated the lurking, means a lot.

Intelligent, yes. It's one quality I don't mind bragging about from time to time, lol! The layout of the shapes is random, it's the layout of the colors in the shapes that creates the illusion. I can see the color and where it will go before I even get the Sharpie out. Been doing it a long time!

You? Struggle?! With what my dear? lol.....girl you got some mad skills, skills that I will NEVER have.

There are reasons for the scenes as of late. One reason is that color began to burn me out and the darker elements just fit my personality much better. The other reason is for a little project that is in the works, based on the pieces in the series. You flatter me, thanks so much!

=graffitica Feb 5, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

A little of the old combined with the new. I like to mix it up. Thanks for the fave!

Those lonely footprints that end suddenly.. as if giving up on this quieter safe haven only to be taken away again.

=graffitica Feb 3, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Nice visual! Though if you look closely, there is a smoking gun on the ground in this piece.

~UncleGuts Feb 3, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Hell, I did not notice that! Gives it a whole new perspective. Awesome. It's those little things that give a piece a whole new meaning.. like a finding secrets in a puzzle.
