My siblings and I have finally reached the end of the tunnel. It has been years since we entered. Years since we’ve seen the sun, seen anything outside this underground maze. A couple years ago, my parents told me that I had to babysit my siblings for a couple days. The youngest brought a flier home from school. It was about a fun underground maze nearby. We decided that it would be fun, so we wen...
My favorite spot is in the cave on top of the mountain in my city. I used to love climbing that mountain with my sister. We got our father to build us a swing right at the edge of the cave, the part that overlooks the city. Not sure why he did, it is really high up and extremely dangerous for a 15-year-old and a 13-year-old. Though I guess he trusted us enough to know that we already knew to be ca...
As a little boy I used to go out and play in the backyard. I loved building little ‘forts’ for the animals, around the tree, by the fence, and in the middle of the yard. For my 9th birthday, I got a little wooden house that I could build myself. Once I built it, I put it on a tree branch and tied string around it to make sure it stayed. I put some grass and acorns that I found in the house. I sat ...
Don’t you just love exploring? It’s so fun, especially when you find abandoned overgrown houses in the middle of nowhere. This house specifically is the first one I’ve ever came across. It was in the woods near my house. No one in town knew it was there, so it must have been abandoned a really long time ago. All the plants here are so pretty, and they look really healthy, like they get just the ri...
The best feeling ever is definitely when you’re out at sea with the wind in your hair and the salty smell of the ocean. It never gets old. And what makes it even better is my friends coming along for this one time. I’ve been asking the Captain for a while and she finally agreed. Captain June was like an older sister to me. She is always looking out for me and taking care of me. And not just me, th...
It had been fifteen years since the sun had last risen. That was so long ago… 15 years. We have been stuck in the glowing moonlight for so long. I’m sure if the sun suddenly decides to come back and shine in our faces, we would melt. Possibly literally melt. The kids would be so confused and scared. I’d be scared too. It’s been dark for so long, no one knows what happened. Scientists are starting ...
It’s finally that time of year again. The fog has returned and is beginning to hide the narrow stone pathway. Every year, same day, same time, same thing happens. This has happened ever since I could remember. July 18, 11:07am, the fog begins to appear around the pathways in town.
Most people who visit or pass through find it weird, not normal. But it is. It happens every year, since anyone can ...
Woah, so this is what’s on the other side of the wall. It’s so pretty, and there’s so many plants. It looks overgrown, but it’s definitely on purpose. For as long as I can remember, everyone has always been told they should never climb or go across the wall unless told to do so. Every 2 months, someone does. The government sends a paper to their house. The paper says the full name, what section to...
The story I’m about to tell you is one that I had just lived. This happened not too long ago, this picture was the only thing that survived. If you ask anyone else from Spaceship R-937440, they will tell you completely different stories, everyone has their own perspective of what happened.
It started on day 294 on Spaceship R-937440, everyone was doing their chores like normal and going on with ...
It was the day before what she thought the best day of her life was going to be. Kay-Kay was out with friends getting ready for a huge party tomorrow, everyone she knew, and didn’t know, was going to be there. The group of girls went to buy some new fancy clothes and shoes to match. Arti and Kay-Kay were the closest among the 3, Holly was usually with other friends or trying to meet new people. Af...
