I feel like I’m in a blender

Being mixed around and altered

I know how I should feel but it’s different from how I do.

We’re lovers, me and you.

I know that.

I want to hold you close and love you,

Tell you that you’re perfect.

When we argue I feel guilt

I’m not supposed to hurt you

I love you.

Other times I want to hit you

You make me angry and sad

Sometimes I just can’t stand you.

Your face

Y...

Silence.

I see you on your phone,

You see me with my book,

No words are shared,

But something is.

This silence,

Though it surrounds us,

It never suffocates us,

Never takes up space.

Back to back,

We do our own thing,

But we do it together,

Loneliness cannot set in.

Sometimes you show me videos,

Sometimes I show you a funny line,

But all the while this silence hangs,

And all we can do is smile....

At times I know I can be careless,

At times I don’t really think,

And maybe I’m not perfect,

And maybe nobody is.

Almost everything you do,

Almost everything you say,

Amazingly, it brings a smile to my face,

And a weird joy to my day.

Actually, you aren’t perfect,

Actually, nor am I,

And can we be imperfect together?

Just you and I?

At times I feel like I hate you,

At times I feel like I love y...

Entry 15

B26F is doing well. She has violent tendencies but settles down when threatened with the mirror room. She has eaten one of my staff again and has been punished accordingly.

Entry 20

We’ve started teaching her to talk and she is doing well. B26F has been injected with Mispirium Elendosis, a new potion Doctor Elliots has come up with. It should make her grow wings and we will track the...

We put the posters up everywhere.

Missing: Sarah Lee

Have you seen this girl? If so please contact… blah blah blah.

You’ve seen them before.

That was about 5 days ago and she’s still not back. At first I told mum that she’d just run off like teens do sometimes and maybe she’s staying at a friends house. We contacted every friend of hers we knew.

Every. Single. One. None of them had seen her. S...

The night you leave,

Will be the night I smile,

I won’t feel sad,

Not even for a while.

When you left,

We all were glad,

‘Good riddance!’ We sang,

No one felt bad.

So I bid you farewell,

Goodbye,

Take care,

May we not meet in the future.

Good riddance,

Leave now,

We’ll cheer and sing,

And none will be sad....

Cold. Windy. Dark. Her hair blew around her as she stood in my doorway.

“H-Harriet..?”

Harriet Bond went missing 2 months ago. No one knew why but rumours spiralled in school.

“I heard she ran away…”

“She ran off with a boy from the village…”

“I heard she was murdered…”

“She just skiving. We know she’s a freak so she would do this sort of thing…”

“Did you hear? She apparently killed herself…”

...

To my creator, the one person who was supposed to love me, what did I do wrong? I tried my best, I did all you asked and yet it was never enough. You tell me ‘it’s all your fault that pathetic man left!’ And ‘if you weren’t such a nuisance..’ I hate you. No, I despise you. I want you to suffer.

Yesterday, I did something.. I was angry and I’m mad at myself for it. I yelled at my best friend and c...

I don’t remember your face

or your name

or your favourite colour

or your favourite film.

I have no idea who you are,

but I know I lost you.

I lost something.

I don’t recall a single memory of you,

But I know you were there.

I remember that you made me smile

And laugh

I remember how warm you made me feel,

cozy.

I can’t remember if we were lovers

Or just friends

Or perhaps sibling

But I ...

The young maiden walked sullenly through the thick forest. She was both sad and happy. Her father had died but her step mother seemed really kind and caring. As the maiden walked further and further into the maze of trees she began to hear the shuffle of tiny feet. Panicked, she picked up the pace only to realise the owner of the footsteps did the same.

“Who’s there?” She yelled. No response. No s...
