Wake up

Open your eyes

And see the sun.

Wake up

Open your eyes

And then your done.

Done with yesterday

And the day before that.

Done with all those lies

And the things you regret.

Wake up

Open your eyes

I promise I’ll be there.

When you wake up

To the morning air....

They sat there together,

On that bit of tree log,

They sat there together,

Looking onto the bog.

It was a simpler time,

They were all happy and laughing,

It was an endless moment,

And they spent it by partying

All day long.

But even endless things have there limits.

And soon they were all in pieces,

The mess they made, leaving them in bits.

The argument had begun mild,

But soon they all becam...

The magic was in the air.

How stupid it sounds now!

But I promise, it was there.

But you wouldn’t believe me anyhow.

The magic was in the air.

It may even still be.

How utterly rare

Would that be to see.

It comes in other names:

Love, joy, happiness,

Being some.

I promised to never talk of these,

But it’s too late, it is done.

The magic was in the air.

Can you believe it now?

We have love, jo...

I stare sometimes,

At the tea cup, that is,

The one that I put my very British tea in.

But if I looked closer,

I would notice its intricate design

And excessive size.

I stare sometimes,

At the old carpet, that is,

The one that Mum bought,

When we were still young.

But if I looked closer,

I would notice the yellow stain

Upon those fading patterns.

I stare sometimes,

At my mum, that is.

“I can’t believe you’re going with her!” Abby squeals excitedly, bursting into my room.

“I know,” I reply, as I sneak behind the wardrobe to try on my dress.

“OMG!” she shrieks when I come out 5 minutes later, “You look amazing!”

“Thanks,” I mutter, doing my best to drown my embarrassment.

“Don’t be embarrassed!” Abby yells, clearly unaware of how loud she’s speaking, patting my shoulder.

...

The shadows draw in across the sky,

Veiling the blue,

Masking the sun.

But in this darkness,

The moon illuminates,

As it watches the night run

by.

The spotlight shines

On maybe a house,

Or maybe that mouse,

That scurries by.

And in the sky it shines all night.

The stars are out too,

Veiling the blue,

Masking the sun.

They twinkle in the sky,

Like little lights,

Watching the night run by...

A scaled grey-green tendril wrapped around Oscar, lifting him from the ground and towards the beast’s mouth. a scream erupted from his mouth. As far as he could see, no around could save him.

He looked to his friends and the other men of his village. Some were battling on the ground, their swords clashing with the tendrils. Others were in the same position as him, it was too late for them.

A t...

To Ben, Susan and Agatha,

I hope you are all well and that the news of my demise wasn’t too much of a shock. I had originally planned to write a letter before this to inform you of my condition but at the time I couldn’t quite bare it.

I’m writing to you for a few different reasons...

Firstly, I would like to ask you to take care of my dearest Angela and our daughter, too. I’m writing a lette...

“Hello, hello!”

She yelled to me.

“Hello, hello!”

I yelled back.

“What are you doing?”

She asked of me.

“I’m trying to sing!”

I yelled back.

“What are you singing?”

She questioned me.

“Everything!”

I yelled back.

“How can you sing everything?”

She questioned me.

“All I have to do is sing!”

I yelled back.

“Is it fun?”

She asked of me.

“Very!”

I yelled back.

“Good, good!”

She yelled to me.

“G...

“Dear diary,

School was strange today, everyone seemed to be laughing about something and my friends avoided me like the plague, pretending to have some club to go to, as if I don’t know that’s not true. I’m not sure if these things are even related but if they are then it would seem that I’m in deep trouble.”

“Lia, is it true?” my annoying twin asks me, barging into my room, as I finish the last...
