In the sleepy town of Ashwood, where the moon dipped into the horizon and painted the sky with hues of crimson and gold, a world of secrets lurked in the shadows. It was a place where the supernatural and the mundane coexisted, where vampires and werewolves walked among humans, their existence a whispered rumor. For Aden Williams, a young man with a troubled past and a penchant for rebellion, life...
Remember when I wore your sweatshirt
How I loved you so much that my heart hurt
When we watched the sun dip over the horizon
And everything smelled like cinnamon spice then
When I found your hands wrapped around mine
Like someone so desperately had committed a crime
But you and I, we had an alibi
Sealed tight not to repeat
It was our little secret
that was meant to keep
But the snowflakes fell

Victoria said she likes poems
So here I am writing one for her
What a boring chore to be sure
But I think i like her
We’re friends
Isn’t that how it starts?
We went to the gallery
And i compared her to a work of art
Cheesy, i know
But it wasn’t a show
I tried to pay for her food
But she wasn’t in the mood
Now here I am

In between ou...

“You- you’re not Sam!” My eyes widened with fear as he tossed my phone onto my bed.
“No shit. Now sit down and shut up.” He eyed me. A mask covered his mouth and he wore all black, shaggy like his hair.
He walked over and unzipped his bag. He pulled out a knife and shoved me onto the bed with one forceful push.
”I remember you- wait! aren’t you Sam’s old middle school friend? ...
It is easy to get lost in the underworld
Because the underworld is a labryrinth
A labyrinth filled with horrid mosters
Horrid monsters who roam all day
All day with no night
No night means no sleep
No sleep means you hallucinate
You hallucinate that it is easy
Easy to get lost in the underworld
I
am
lost...
His shadow loomed over the window. My heart hammered as I got closer. "Hi, Veronica. It’s me, Sam. Are we still going on our date?"
”Dammit, Sam! I thought you were a monster!” I reached to unlock the windowsill hatch, but just before I heard the latch click I realized something. At that very moment the same voice responded.
”Do you want me to be a monster?”
This wasn’t a familiar voice. I d...

Dear Mr. Nothing,
I saw the mailman leave letters at your door. It’s stacking and I’m worried. I’ve tried to call you and text. Nothing. I asked you how you’re feeling and if you’re hungry or thirsty. If you want some company even. You said you didn’t want anything. Not even a gift or money to help you. It’s almost as if you don’t want to be indebted to your friends and family. I...
“You’re beautiful, you know?” he whispered in my ear. My spine tingled at the very thought of him.
“Mmm… what else?” I replied letting curiosity get the better of me. I bit my lip as he pulled back an inch. I could still smell the strong scent of cologne lingering in the air.
“I can't stop thinking about that smile of yours,” he grinned.
“That’s too bad.”
“Mmm… how come?” His gaze lingered o...
