I always knew I would die alone.

My feet were aching as they have been for days. Walking and walking and searching; there was no end to my madness. I had no recollection of how and why I was secluded to this damned place. Yet I still had a tiny flame that pushed me forward. To what I have no idea.

For miles I have found nothing but hot sand and blazing sun. Mirages often came to my mind, etchi...

The irreplaceable helper robot

Was a sight to be beheld.

It’s shiny arms and squeaky legs

Were scary but held no bound.

It walked around the grocery store

And looked for customers in need.

But then a spark came from its eyes

And people began to scream.

It clashed around the isles

Of the sugar and the soup.

It tore up all the tiles

From the floor that had been cleaned.

The grocery store emplo...

I awoke with a large gasp. Sitting up abruptly, I grabbed my chest as if I had just surfaced from being drowned. There were concerned faces looking down at me, and I realized I had been laying on the floor. But it was not just a floor I had been laying on, it was a stage. As I wobbled my way up, my eyes beheld a sight that they thought they would never get to see: a crowd, all supportively looking...

Darkness and then light. My awakening was happening, so I opened the slits of my eyes.

A fresh, rectangular light slammed me directly in the face. It was hard to see. After a few minutes, my area of sight widened and lengthened, and I began to study the room around me. White walls, tiled floors, a man to my left, a picture frame in front of me- wait a minute.

“Who are you?” I attempted...

The ding of the elevator startled me as I stepped inside its cramped space. There wasn’t anyone else here, so I pressed the sixth floor, and I took a step back. With my hands in my pockets, I looked down at the decorative carpet covering the musty elevator floor and began to daydream. I started to imagine my life if it were normal; if I didn’t have the abilities that I have now, the secrets, the m...

The air was warm,

The ground a bit shattered.

Our souls were still in tact,

But our bodies were battered.

Our armor could protect,

But not for long.

The monsters came,

And sang their song.

Destruction rained down,

Lasers were fired.

They wouldn’t quit,

I was getting tired.

My friends were falling,

They tried their best.

Their families would get the call tomorrow,

receiving a heartbr...

Life seemed so distant. I felt alone, and I felt dark. Laying on the end of my bed, I closed my eyes as I had a million times before. I imagined that peaceful land. Where trees sent you kisses in the wind. Where light streamed through the clouds and you could make out rays from the sun. Where, if you stood quietly enough, you could hear a sliver of music. Once you heard the soft tune, it would gro...
