Or dead, I guess. Or somewhere in between? Mom was right; I should have been a doctor. Maybe if I was, I'd have some idea of what's happening to me. And, more specifically, what's *not* happening.

j5ws905 | j5ws3sk | [WP] Your superpower isn’t anything special. You can make stuff disappear behind your back then pull it back out again. When a friend at a party asks you to do it to them it sounds like a great laugh. But when you pull them back out they look older, disheveled, and are frantic to be sent back. | I was not born special. The event of my birth was as normal as any other child, a run of the mill baby with run of the mill parents in a house far too cramped and a head far too big for my neck. Yet despite the absolute mundaneness of my birth, my parents loved me as if the world had become anchored around my existence... | "Are you sure? This isn't our scene.

I screamed as Bonnie, one of the new friends I have made over the summer break, snuck up on me and grabbed me by the shoulders, instantly pulling me out of my uneasy slumber.

k6w337p | k6vwlal | [WP] As a young witch, you have recently made a deal with a devil. In return for power, you must become his servant, the concept of which greatly excites you. At the end of your 5 years, you find that by “servant”, he didn’t mean an agent of justice who torments sinners, he simply needed a maid. | "HA!" Stella slammed her finger down on the contract.

If parents are willing to give up their children for greed, then imagine what they’d do to the child, given the chance to raise it?” | This interview was not going the way Jasmine planned.

The alien looks in horror at the bite wound on its arm, then back to you in horror. | I sat back down at my desk slowly. I probably have a broken rib and my left forearm definitely has a break on the ulna. Maybe a hairline fracture on the radius. If it was more than that, the arm would be beyond useless.
