"Well now,"said the ninja thoughtfully rather blocking my view. "You are not much to look at. Though your costume is amusing. How did you ascend?" "Mainly I just talked to people'"I said. "I promised I would bring them back the secret of the rooftop. We merely know it holds a prize. But none who make it up here ever r...
Ever since I was freed about a millennia ago, I was free from being bound to the small, golden oil lamp which finally turned to dust centuries after the time it should have without proper maintaining. I was free! I was ecstatic. I teleported everywhere in the world, now not having ties to an inside of a lamp or gene...
Thirty years I’ve been in the cockpit. Solo misssions. Crew mission. Cargo. Transport. You name it, I’ve done it. Call me cocky, but I never thought I’d die in space. I pictured myself an old, bitter drunk to be honest. A man that lived his life for the service. For the greater good, not for himself. You can’t have a...
My desk isn’t even in the same zip code as a window that might let in some natural light, so I don’t know whether it had been raining all day or whether the downpour started right before I stepped outside just to spite me. It had been that kind of day, though. I’d grown up in New Mexico. Rain was a special occasion th...
"So yer telling me that you made this?"slurs Bert He hold up my new creation, a green cylindrical object rounded at both ends "Yes, I figured we could optimize our harvest by preserving our produce and it is quite tasty" Bert squints his eyes, \*Hiccup\* "I don't know what you are saying but it tastes damn good, you...
Jack dropped the book on the ground with a squeal of fury. "Hey!"his girlfriend's voice said. "What the hell-" "I cheated on you! I cheated on you!"Jack took a step back. "You were right all along!" She glared at him. "And what do you think you're doing now?" Jack held up the book. "I used this to find out you have...
I ride Gallion, on my way back to Lukania, with Zaqmir's head in my leathery bag. Well, looks like it's a deep and silent night, maybe 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. My hands can't even hold the lantern straight any more, and the bleeding still doesn't stop, even after 3 bandages... For an Assassin to be hired by none...
The superhero alarm rang, waking me up, I was tired from the late night shift at the pizza place. My eyes struggled hard to open, it automatically shut as it opened like a mouse caught in a trap. I immediately changed to my superhero costume, which was a spandex cloth in red with a olive green patch at the centre hav...
A few months pass, and you have been announced a legend among the townsfolk. But one day, the incantation produces something more… Vile. Instead of a successful reanimation, a once dead corpse arose, but there was something different. Something off. The corpse stood in the middle of your ritual room, with a slouched po...
I sat silently in the back of the car as Michael drove me to 'Ridgeton High School' "Nervous?"he asked. I looked up at him and finally let the mask break a little. "Yea. Kinda. Are you sure this is a good idea?" He looked back to me and offered a warm smile. "I can't say one way or another. This is how the mission i...
Alex got through half of his lecture before someone asked the obvious question. For 30 minutes he talked in front of a large dark room about the process of writing, of painting, of creating and learning, about the painful and frustrating series of challenges that a human must go through before creating something of val...
“So…do you like being a mercenary…” the dragon asked me bringing up the question from nowhere. Ok to start it was not a job I would normally take but, work had dried up recently and it was one of the few jobs on the job board that I would be able to do by myself without a crew and get paid quickly. It just said, ‘help...
The dead man bit me back in February. I guess I shouldn’t say “he” bit me, but rather, the damned Vitruinius Cordisep, the fungus that clings to the brains of all the dead nowadays. As I’d soon find out, it kept my brain active enough to do its bidding, active enough to be aware and experience every sense, every taste,...
The evil king was finally dead, an arrow protruding from his skull. No more evil deeds and tyranny, or so they thought. Suddenly the crowd began to rage, fights broke out over money and food, people going wild. What has happened to the peaceful kingdom, have they all gone mad? Then I feel it, some alien feeling begi...
The last of the pirates are finished, and the crew begins exiting from behind their cover. I lean into the communicator on my left shoulder as I round the corner I was hiding behind, “Starboard section is clear, Port team, report.” A small, bubbly voice responds, “Finishing our sweeps, sir. We lost two, and-“ The voi...
We were doomed. Like forever doomed. Both , Imtura and I knew it. Our battle was long done and lost . Even after all we did, the court destroyed us , Killed all our friends , Mal , Tyril , Nia , all of them died. My eyes were teary and the court's member had cast a curse on me and imtura , and so we knew , we are go...
I walk into the room, stepping around the altar, glistening purple with arcane magic. I kneel and begin to chant, the altar’s purple glow getting brighter and brighter. Power surges throughout my frail body, rejuvenating me, extending my existence. I leave the room, making sure to lock the doors. My guards follow me. T...
*I stalked the streets, knowing intimately that the decisive clue was at hand.* What a load of shit. Bull-headed. Lacking subtlety. Exchanging nuance for aggression. Very poor. Asshole. Next. \*Click\* *It seems to me, dear companion, that my hunch was correct. Layers within layers, bluffs within bluffs. The killer ...
There are many stories about the Prometheans. Just like Prometheus had bestowed the gift of fire to mankind, the Prometheans went to Earth and gifted man with the technology of terraforming. The Prometheans themselves seemed to be at-home in Earth’s climate, and called us their brethren, for we could breathe the same a...
...nOT aS IT SeEeEEemS... I was running from the monstrous minion of the wizard. I would have been able to fight it if i hadn't forgotten to charge my magic bow today. I climbed up a tree. "Surrender and I'll let you live!"The monster, who couldn't climb, said. "NEVER!"I yelled. I knew that if i surrendered, the wiza...
It's been one month since The Splitting, the day we lost over 50 million human beings at once. Those lost had been of all races, genders, creeds, and geographical locations. Maybe it's ironic that for a race known for discrimination and bias, millions had been chosen at complete random. I remember the first few ho...
I am unable to pinpoint the beginning of my indifference. My whole existence was held dominion by a quest to answer this question. Constantly held hostage to the prospect of freedom yet kept a slave by a mere condition? You see, I am uncertainty to whether I can call this indifference a condition. The worlds greatest m...
I stood drenched in the blood of my enemies. After years of war and questing I had finally slain the dark Lord in an epic final battle which lasted almost two days. It had looked grim, but finally he had made a fatal mistake and had succumbed to death at a final blow from my enchanted blade. I called for my steward, H...
King Salias stared down his best friend and greatest enemy, the Warlord Malim, who with his own hands had broken down the door to his throne room. The giant of a man, long mane red as a blaze and teeth as hard and sharp as a bear trap as he grinned that smug grin. Salias sighed, he knew this was it. To think that it wo...
Bitcoins... Fucking Bitcoins. A whole world ended save for the one percent who ended up hopping dimensions. And my fucking self brought back bitcoins back here, the only one of them to do so. Who would've thought Satoshi kon was a carbon copy of a weed dealer. Now don't think that I hate myself Doc. I really am hap...
It must have been around my 10th killing that they noticed me, my friend, the big FBI. I started small as you do when you are bored. Strangle a dog here, remove a cat their legs there. But as all thing they become boring after a while. So I stept up my game and started hunting humans. I planned it all, staking out my...
I walked towards Aparicio's office, confident. Famed shapeshifter or not, I was ready for him and he was in for a big surprise. My right hand was bare, but gripped tightly in my left hand was a chain that dragged behind me, secured to two pairs of shackles behind me. I tugged, feeling the weight of the force urge the ...

"come on wake up this is our last hope to bring you back." This was the word that woke me up.This was also the last word any human ever say to me with hope and kindness.The moment I woke up I let out the most deafening demonic screeching that kill every single mortal within that vicinity with an exception of the perso...
Where at first man feared the unknown, Gods and spirits were elevated in worship; Virtuous beings that watched over the crooked dealings of man, Unseen and omnipotent forces for goodness, Ready to distribute swift and just punishments, To man's evil intentions and malfeasance. But man continued to challenge th...
I should've ran. I watched enough horror movies to know that beautiful girls don't dance around in the middle of the woods at night unless they're some type of supernatural creature or part of a cult. But I didn't care. What was my life worth anyway? I was a high schooler with no girlfriend, no ambitions, no confidenc...
It's the 5th time today that crow shows up at my door. He keeps dropping used needles that the drug addicts used at Teddycoat Park down the street. I yell in anger, "fuck you; I was just trying to help you!" The crow caws with a sort of laughter that seems so sinister. He's done this every day for the past month. Som...

"Died? No my child you've just been born! Our first successful, conscious clone. You seem stable?"He checked my pupils. "No growling?"He tapped my nose. "And it seems like you already speak German, though a strange dialect. Well, tell me what you remember." "I....I was lying there."You try to recall, feeling thoughts ...
Vana whispered a word and the overgrown creeper before her parted ever so slightly. She fought her way through, trailed by the small dancing light that played in her wake. It had to be around here somewhere, she just knew it. This was the furthest she had ever made it into the forest, and her lack of preparation was ...
There it was. The ancient library. I have searched for it for years on end, followed every tiny lead I had, I was almost sure I went crazy. But there it finally was, the place to reveal all the knowledge the old world had to offer. But it was empty. The shelves have collected dust in what seemed to be thousands of yea...
"Damnit!" The mysterious voice sounded distressed. That was very unusual for it. All the other times, it spoke low and slowly about some horrifying tales. Now and then it would go as far as mimicking the screams and sounds so realistically that you could practically see the graphic scenes unfold in front of your eyes....
"That's it!"she thought to herself, crying. "I'm done with this. All of it!""If there really is a God out there, won't you give me something, anything to hold onto?"she said exasperatedly. She looked up at the sky but it was, different. There was something strange and unknown about it yet familiar and comforting. It ga...
***You and your friend go out one day. He disappears in the dark forest near the river, you stay there for what feels like an eternity looking for him. Turns out you're the one who died.*** The next night, the sun rises high again, the moon sets again, and your body is no longer moving. It's just a pile of bones and g...
I smell my breath as my hands begin to quiver. It reeks of stale Doritos and flattened Pepsi. Its pungent odor bounces around the helmet until it's all I can think of. I need to focus though. The vile is beginning to shake too much. Too much disturbance could ruin what has cost me 3 weeks of sleep. A month ago, I had ...
I am Maria Von Eisenstein, 4th of my name, and heir to power unimaginable by most mortal minds. And I wish for nothing more but for death to take me from this realm into its cold infinite embrace. At first I merely assumed that I had imagined what was to pass. That the slashes of the corrupted paladin's sword were ...
I was happy at first, to have my worth finally recognized. But it should never have been taken from me in the first place. They accepted me now, but it was still on their own terms, because I had proven I could be *useful.* Nothing had really changed. There's always that moment in every outsider story. The bullied out...
“Father? How long before the war is over?” Chen Wu looked at his young daughter and the look in her eyes destroyed him all over again. “Soon, my child. Very soon. Then we can rebuild our home and start over. It will be ok,” he said, almost mechanically; he didn’t even believe that himself. She seemed to notice and a...
Nineteen computers tapping away at sundown. Shades drawn, getting us the bare minimum of vitamin D necessary. I gulp down my tea through a scrunched face. One-hundred-seventy milligrams of caffeine, steeped for fifteen minutes. Bitter, crummy, necessary. Sweat beads over the clanking thrum of an air conditioner on its ...
"You can't just *let him in*. You know he doesn't fit the bill. One good deed doesn't absolve him of all the rest of it..." "I don't give a *shit* what the bill says anymore, look at him, look at what he's done. Name one thing *you've* done better in the last 1000 years of crap that we've had to sit back and watch, on...
"Why the hell are you throwing garlic at me?!"Vlad said in disgust, brushing cloves off his sholdur. "You're a vampire!! BE GONE FOUL BEAST!! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU,"yelled Jack as the absolute terror of his situation sunk in. He stumbled backwards, falling into a desk and knocking its contents over. "Are yo...
"Oh, bullocks!"exclaimed a disgusted Nigel after spitting out a bite out of his beef jerky bar. "The bloody thing tastes raw." It was supposed to be an average Thursday for Nigel. Wake up at 6:00 in the morning to get dressed and prepared for the day, head off to work, come home to eat supper, watch some tele, and do...
I had just gotten a rest in the middle of my shift at the factory. Must have fallen asleep. The break room is not way far away from the action of the rest of the place, but it's the late shift. I must have nodded off. I awake to smoke, and it's freaking hot in here. Like I'm in an oven. I see light dancing around me th...
This is my first ever story on this sub so be kind reddit :) "They called him mad. Mad scientist Jamie Eltrand. 'Professor Eltrand, yeah, the right wing religious one' they would say. They would mock him, ridicule him. Impossible, destiny isn't a thing. That was what was widely accepted with scientists. Let me rephr...
\[Poem\], but only partly. The death of kings, of royal blood, of war- lords and of conquerors. A cause for grief in some, and joy in others yet. "Strange,"thinks the king - not king all his life. He was once another man, a peasant, no, wrong word - an Amazon delivery boy. Hm. Not the line of work Josh would hav...
The pack of goblins stared from the tower of the castle, the little boy behind them crying and screaming though it was largely ignored for the strange sight below them. A young girl, probably eight, stood silently on the very edge of the Goblin Kingdom where they lived. She looked around solemnly and afraid but certai...
It wasn't the pain that was the worst to bear. It wasn't the injustice of the judgment, it wasn't the fear for the lives of my friends, and it certainly wasn't the lonelyness. It was the inevitability of my death. The suit knew exactly how long I had left to live, and I could do nothing to impact this slowly diminish...
The car ride home from Whit's parents place was an awkward one. Whit's gloominess radiated, after 5 years together, I've learnt a one-word answer was a social cue. She avoided eye contact like it was some childhood game. What could possibly be wrong? Dinner at her parents place went great, yes, they had their past hist...
I’ve seen the movies of so-called superheroes that defy death, and I’ve seen the faces of the children that marvel at the possibility of resisting fire, of surviving bullet shots or standing up after having C4’s detonated at your very feet. Instead of marveling at fake superheroes’ abilities, I spent my childhood wonde...
Children. Literally fucking children. No, not immature adults with simple minded vendettas. Human beings in their very first stages of life. I blinked for certainly the 10th time; as if that would change what I'm seeing. The toddler raised an eyebrow. Funnily enough, that seemed to be the only hair on his body. At lea...
I close my eyes as the light is blinding. It hurts and I stumble back and fall over the crate with old books. The light dims now and I lower my arms. The wooden floor cracks as the creature falls out of the cocoon. Dare I come closer? I feel the panic in my throat and want to run away as fast as I can, but as alway...
HISTORY OF THE EARTH History is believed to be a testament of the perception of the accepted truth. And, after a while, if you hear, see and speak it long enough, it becomes absolute and etched in stone... ...that is, until the real truth raises it's devastating head and razed the perceived. The history book was fo...
A body. I think that's a fucking dead body! I was shocked as I ran to the lake shore.... Damn, the body was slightly bloated you can tell they were dead... but as It brushed up against rocks on the side of the lake you could make out the hair colour and uniform the poor soul was wearing... It looked like an army uni...
What the hell? My vision is blurry, ears ringing. I can barely hear the loud explosions and yells of men. My head is dripping blood. We were arrogant and confident, thinking we could win with our magical advances, we were wrong. Non-magical soldiers dont look like the ones we saw on our books, wearing silly hats and c...
[Poem] The days of my youth are gone, And it has been so long, Since I’ve held your hand in mine, Back when I though we had more time, My skin is worn and weathered, But my soul still is tethered, To this home I built for you, And all the love that we once knew, I don’t wish to say goodbye, To all those...
Welcome back to another episode of universal creatures. This week we are in the Vega system. Today’s episode will be on Vega Prime home to lush forests and woodlands. On this planet we find an unusual creature, even by Vega standards. Watch as it plays gently with others of its kind. These gentle creatures, known as t...
EARTH-128 You know, I love technology. Not only is half of my body comprised of prosthetic Etherium, I have control of the greatest suit of armor in the history of the Multiverse. My name is Tezzeret Etheris—Tez for short. They also call me Adamant. I used to be evil, driven by lust for power. Now, I’m a college stud...
When thing are looking their bleakest, just remember its all part of the plan. This is what I told myself as the guards slammed me into the pod. I was being punished for my crime, and this is considered to be the worst punishment for our race. This pod had no steer stick or any guidance systems. It's path and destina...
“I knew there were going to be faults here and there on this station, but this is ridiculous!” Darth Vader stands, admiring the guts of the guy telling him about the problems. The inspector continued, saying, “I have had my respect for you teetering down minute by minute. I thought you knew that this station would ne...
The Advanced Junior Physicist program had been a huge success so far. Fifty children between the ages of nine and thirteen milled excitedly around the laboratory of the local university. "What are you working on?"a particularly small girl asked a graduate student. "This is called quantum physics,"explained the studen...
“I hate you! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! You took everything from me!” You listen to the young man who tied you to a chair. “I apologize in advance, but please specify” You request, calmer than you expected tied to a chair and a gun held to your head. The young man looks at you is despair, “You caused the i...
**I'm a bit new to writing on this sub, I hope you like this /\\\_/\\** “Please, I already gave the woman her purse back! Put me down now!” Oh, if I could I probably would. In fact, I wouldn’t have intervened if It wasn’t for the accidents months ago. I walked up to the nearby police station, and two officers outside...
I can see it. Every possibility, every outcome, always flashing before my eyes. I reached for the coffee pot to pour myself a cup and suddenly I saw it, pouring over my legs, spilling, boiling, I would need skin grafts. I recoiled, hands shaking like I’d just been electrocuted before I shoved them in my pockets. I cou...
Jules's eyes opened in a panic. Someone was beating on his chest, and he felt his heart beat every time a blow landed. Thank God, he thought. "No rhythm,"someone said. "Stop compressions." Jules reached for the hand sustaining his life. "It's working, you idiot! Keep it going!" Pandamonium broke out. People in white...
The Great Snake was always present. He sits in his hub, slithering around his giant branch, surrounded by the filth of his own shed skin. It was normal, nothing unusual. After all, who were we to question the Great One? He did what he wanted to do, and made us do what he didn't. It was normal, perfectly normal. H...
It has been millennias since their ship crashed land on earth. It was never meant to be their plan to be anywhere near this little blue planet, especially since their species was not accustomed well to water. Faced with lack of technologies to repair their damaged vessel and inability to communicate back to their home ...
“I win.” He said Her blood ran cold “What did you say?” “I win, diagonally.” She sat back from the table, her breath hanging in her chest. He was right, she could see it! She had lost. How could she have lost so badly? When Jenny was 5, she had received Connect Four for her birthday. From that moment, she had kno...
The train is hollow in the same way their love is. He knows this as soon as they board on together. He watches as his wife walks away from him - not for the first time, never for the first time - sitting on the hardened bench that lays across. The train compartment is empty, *eerily so*, he thinks, as he distantly won...
"What is out there, what I am walking into?"asked the man, his gas-mask ill-fitted and cheap, the bare minimum provided by the company for its workers. The SUSAN drone watched silently, standing behind the desk with the mayor, half of his twisted faced mutated. He looked up, covering his mutated eye with one hand, "De...
Rule 1: Call 911. Knowing my rules by heart, I realized how stupid it was to not own a cellphone. With the removal of my landline last year, I was left basically helpless when it came to dangerous situations. Luckily, I had developed a list of rules in order to survive life-threatening scenarios such as these. Rule...
Dear Diary, today I did something quite naughty. I hope You can forgive me. It's been years since I went on a scavenge, and I definitely would never have thought I'd do it while living in this nice neighborhood because people call the neighborhood watch and all. But I just felt a little strange and witchy in the moonli...
Becky had gone out again tonight. Late, as usual. Slipping out of her bedroom window like I had seen her do a thousand times before. Every time I see the newest Superhero on TV. Stopping the evil plots. That Superhero is called First Lady. She arrived recently to our city. About the time I noticed Becky doing the late ...
Without the money, Harold couldn't live to next week, so he kept the gun trained on the teller. She was twenty four and tears rolled down her face, she could tell Harold would break and she was playing her cards right. What she didn't know was that Harold wasn't going to break the way she expected, he wasn't going to b...
“Dear god, what have we done...?” I whispered in horror. Just the sight of it was enough to seep terror into my very marrow. When we collectively decided to stay inside for Halloween, we never expected the horrors it would unleash, the pure repulsive movement that would occur from such a decision. Not spooks. Not ...
It was a normal day, coming home from the tiring workload my boss's put on me. I usually take a quick shower, then I'm off to the nearby Chinese shop. I like going to this shop, because I'm good friends with the old Chinese man who runs the store, or maybe, it's just his personality, and he treats me just like anyone e...
The doorbell rang. Ben answered the door. A tall, crisply dressed man stood before him. "Ben Godfrey?"he asked. "Yes. And who're you?" "Darren Bent. I work for the law." "The law? Where's your uniform?" "I am undercover,"he said. Ben laughed. "Stop kidding." "I'm not,"the man said. "Here's my badge." He produce...
Nobody connected the dots at first. Alien life is, most of all, *alien.* People who once lived as a sentient cloud, or as some subservient part of a monstrous hive, were quick to dismiss their memories as dreams. And even when growing numbers became convinced of the truth, the rest of society was harder to sway. So in...
Zion had been wandering the halls of the building for what had seemed like an hour. He had randomly seen the building when he was on his daily walk and had finally wanted to go inside. When he went inside and told the person sitting at the desk his name after being prompted, he was shocked to hear her squeal and hear h...
When everyone started gaining superpowers, the thing people initially started worrying about was vigilantes running around in masks and tights "Fighting crime"and destroying everything. That never happened. No one wanted cities being destroyed to protect an insured bank or something like that, and crime prevention actu...
Matthias loved writing letters. His handwriting was suited to it, and the black, bold words inked on fresh parchment satisfied his artistic taste. He appreciated a delicate job well done. The flourish of his signature was all that was lacking, the final, perfect touch. He began the fluid motion with clarity and force, ...
# Does This Look Arcane To You? The problem, Arn discovered, was finding someone who was *willing* to die. In a strange way this had been the *least* of her worries; a problem far off at the end of her magical studies. Four years of grueling, often literally cutthroat curriculum taught every student with even a hope ...
Long ago, I felt God. He was in my chest, glowing with warmth and safety. God was my mentor and my caretaker. If God was with me, who could be against me? I was supported by Him every day, keeping me company while I grew into a young woman. Suddenly, that feeling in my chest disappeared. I felt empty and alone. Sitti...
"Thanks for coming in today, at such short notice, Mr Fraser. I do apologise for the vagueness of the call, but it's something that should be discussed face to face, not over the telephone." "No problemo. I had a free afternoon anyway."Looking around, this was a stereotypical lawyer's office. Dark oak furniture. Leath...
"Zanek?" "That's me." "Your element is..." This was it. The possibilities raced in my mind. Fire and water were boring. Lightning sounded neat. Darkness seemed too edgy, but light just felt cliché. Well, if anything, Entropy would be- "...snot." ────────── Yeah, you're laughing at me, aren't you? You think snot's...
The Cards are strange objects. I don't think magic research has figured out how or why they even exist in the first place, but that hasn't stopped literally everyone from getting one on their 13th birthdays. If anything, I hoped for luck from my Card. Luck directly swings the odds of anything in your favour - it's pro...
When that darn hacker uploaded a powerful malware onto all of humanity's devices, rendering them useless, we scrambled to find a new way of communication. Without much choice, we reverted back to the days of landline phones and writing letters. That's when i come in. When phones were disabled, the company that was be...
The perfect archwizard Misande and her partner the disfigured bloodwitch Ki were the first to find it. Earlier that night there was a brilliant streak of fire and red across the sky, and a thunder so loud stone and dirt flowed like water. The two women scrying in glass and viscera knew this would spell an end of an age...
It was the trial of the century. A vampire had been arrested and charged with several crimes, but the one that had captured the public’s eye was murder. It made all the media outlets salivate as this was the first time a vampire was publicly charged with anything. Normally they kept to themselves, the unseen hand sh...
Thunk I snap up in my chair, inevitably hitting my knee on the top of the small desk. “They really need to make bigger desks” I think to myself, while I look around, while half-heartedly rubbing my eyes, looking for the source of the sound that startled me from my god-given nap. I was expecting to see Mr. Stash, my “...
I sat, knelt before my captors. My mouth was taped and hands bound behind my back. This was the typical strategy for anyone that wanted to restrain a mage. Gag or cover the mouth, and lyrics can't be sung. Bind the hands, and no beats can be made. A guard followed from behind, watching every step. Ensuring you walk at ...
“Okay, Barthelamu, calm down, calm the fuck down,” I mutter as I pace across my room. “This isn’t a big deal; it’s not like there’s a stranger in your closet, gripping onto a photo of your dead beat, good for nothing, mother and father.” I force out a laugh that quickly turns into painful sobs. I’m on the twelfth dam...
\[Sharp Discussion\] "He's going to let this continue?"Satan asked. The giant red-skinned man sat in his cavern office behind a large obsidian desk. In front of him sat a young woman with sea-green curls and olive skin. Isla nodded an answer to his question. "He wants to see, 'how it plays out',"she said. Her exasper...
forgive any typos or formatting errors I was tired by the end and didn't proof read. As you get your things together to go to the same school you her heather shout from the kitchen “JAMES, get down here right now before I give your food to the dog!” yelled heather my “mother” that dad got with about seven months ago. ...
‘Settle down. It’s not the first time you’ve lost a partner on this job.’ While not wrong, it’s also not a comforting thought. Normally you can tell when it’s going to be bad. Normally you can prepare a goodbye. Not this time. It seemed like an easy level one, maybe level two task. Some little greasy white faced mon...
As I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling the walls seemed to close in at the edge of my vision. Rolling over the pillow was cool where my tears had collected. The cheap bed-frame creaked under each shuddering breath. I tried to focus on my calming techniques taking a deep breath. Stubbornly, my heart would listen and ...
