Many years have passed since me and my father have spoken. When I turned two and twenty I refused to take over my fathers employment plans for my future. My father is and I guess now was a wealthy man. He ran several estates and was likely to be named a new viscount if his temper ever subsided enough for him to be a pleasant man. My father was never an easy person to work with. The king himself fi...
I’ve always been a hopeless romantic. In high school English we all got assigned that stupid class reading of Romeo and Juliet. You know the one where the teacher gets to humiliate the class jock on being Mercutio and read lines aloud. Well, I loved it! All the stories of old Tristan and Isolde, Alladin and Jasmine, beauty and the beast all retelling, and even the modern ones. I loved it so much t...
In the uppermost part state of Washington is a town called Republic. The town used to be an old mining town. Population is just barely 2k people. I’ve lived here for the last four years. I wonder why sometimes I even moved out here then I will go to my back porch and see the beautiful tree line. The tree line shows the ruggedness of the forest and the tranquility of its stillness. The shades chang...
“Ok so you will take this for 15 miles and take exit 46 on to Henderson road” says Mallorie from the passenger seat.
“Right! That would lead me straight to Tuscany avenue and up the hill of 11563 Alfi drive towards the villa.” I mimic with the same cheerful tone.
Mallorie swats at my arm and adds “ok I’ll stop with the backseat driver directions. You obviously looked over the maps.”
We are h...
Keys can hold freedom or they can take away freedom. Keys hold power and give power. Something so insignificant and small can release a prisoner from his chains. Keys can unlock doors with secrets behind them. They can also lock doors and hide things away. So small and insignificant.
There is an illusion growing up. When we were children we thought the adults held all the power and freedom. We w...
James is staring at Sky for far too long. He doesn’t know how to respond to her question. His heart is beating so hard he can feel it in his head and at the ends of his fingertips.
“Well are you going to at least answer me?” Sky says with a firm and definitive tone.
James looks into her eyes. He sees for the first time probably how her eyes the blue has a yellow ring around it and that she has...
As Erik made his way through the forest he could see the outlines to the greatest stronghold man and dwarf has ever built. The clearing is just up ahead and you can see a vast chasm and the bridge of Virtus.
It’s been months of a long journey for Erik. A messenger came to town. Announced that the royals of the land Dapsilis was looking for a new champion. Three different contests would be held. ...
I can’t breathe!
My chest feels too heavy to breathe!
Just breathe Clara. Just. Breathe.
It’s dark. I can feel my toes and fingers. I can move a little. Everything feels stiff and cold.
“Come on out Clara Grey”, says a voice far off
Who said that! Move! Move yourself Clara! Why can I not move?
“Clara come to us!” The voice says deep and velvety
Who are you?! What do you want?! I cannot...
“No. no. no.”, Ashley says firmly. Looking at the corner of the room she says, “this is where the cake will be displayed”. Pointing as speaks with a brisk walk closer to the corner area. She continues, “over here is where the bridal party will be”. A satisfied grin is on her face as she pictures the day. The planner is writing all of this done as they are talking and discussing about the day in th...
Family game night. A simple thing right? Well not really in my family. My family have a different tradition of game night. I know most families enjoy a nice maybe even hostile game of monopoly. Maybe the game is risk with strategy and precise moves. I wish we could just play a game of twister and let it be just that. Sadly no.
My family have powers. Each one of us has a different and unique powe...
