I walked in the hallway with my friend, her hand in her lovers hand. It hurt so much to see someone I loved so much in love with another. Her boyfriend slipped his hand away, kissing her on the cheek breaking off to his classroom. Her and I had lunch. She sat across from me, retrieving the cut sandwich from her bag. I couldn’t take it anymore.
“I like you”, I said, looking down at my hands. In ...
I never would’ve guessed what happened that day. I was kneeling outside the high school, taking pictures of the variety of flowers planted in the garden. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see a beautiful girl that had been my age, blonde hair that shined with big, round emerald eyes. She asked to see the pictures, so I showed her. She complemented me and asked if she could pay me to tak...
I stood far at a distance, watching red suits scavenge the crashed ship. I wasn’t supposed to be this close to the scene, so I hid behind bunches of snow-covered hills.
It didn’t seem like they found anyone, almost like the ship flew down here itself. Good. That must mean my team also got out. I don’t know what this place is, but I’ve shifted myself to blend in well with the creatures on this p...
The party was filled with drunken teens in Halloween costumes. The party’s host’s sister, Anna, was sitting on her bed upstairs. She had tried multiple times to fall asleep, but the mix of screaming and blaring music was not one to sleep to. She had texted her friends to see if she could sleep at any of their houses, but none answered.
As she played on her phone, she heard a knock on her windo...
In my small, isolated town, there is this thing that we call ‘The Author’. You see, multiple people in this town have found brutal stories of how they will die right before it happens. “Shaun struggled for air, sinking into the lake. Water breached into his lungs, filling painfully.”. Shaun drowned in our town’s small fishing lake.
If you ever find a small, black book, there’s nothing you can d...
Toby and I went out into the woods. We talked as we walked, hoping for all our problems to drown away. Toby stopped in his tracks. I was confused until I looked forward, seeing a wooden tavern on the water. Was this here last time? I grabbed Toby by the hand, rushing to the building. Toby insisted we didn’t go inside since we’ve never seen this place before, but I was curious.
There weren’t man...
The moon brightening streets, raindrops fell as kids ran from house to house, recovering candy. Tyler watched from the driveway as his excited little brother knocked on the neighbors door. Tyler felt his phone buzz. He grabbed it from his pocket, texting back his friend. Instead of hanging out with his friends, Tyler’s parents had made him take his brother trick-or-treating. He pocketed his phone,...
In a poor town, there lived a human that was different from the others. On his back, he had large black wings, and on the top of his head, he had small shiny horns. He wanted to be like the others, so, he accepted a cruel offer.
“All I have is $5”, the old man said. The winged man agreed. The old man said it would be painless. He was wrong.
The winged man, waking up wingless, was in deep pain, fo...
She was so beautiful, the man couldn’t resist walking up to her. She was the one everybody talked about. She wasn’t human. She was dead. Legend said that if anybody fell in love with the female ghost, she would live again, so nobody got close to her.
The man was a tourist and didn’t know who she was, so he talked to her. They talked for hours. Eventually, the man told the ghost he was attracted to...
