Captivating Chaos (100 Word Song Challenge)


Lance at the 100 Word Song Challenge asks you to write 100 words (no more, no less) in whatever genre, or fashion you are inspired to write in, using the song of the week to get you there. 
 
This week's 100 Word Song challenge inspiration is from 311's "Beautiful Disaster"






 Captivating Chaos~

A streetlight shimmered on wet pavement in front of her feet. With no umbrella to keep her dry, she sat on the edge of the curb thinking that the black in the stripes of her knee socks matched the wet blacktop. 

A thick, mop of wet hair dripped with a different rhythm than the rain, she could feel them both.

Words she spat at him, splashed down on her head.  “I never want to see you again, I wish you would disappear!” 

Her life was such a beautiful disaster, and every chance she got she painted it again with pain.
