I’ve lived underground for most of my life.

12 years, two months, and 5 and a half days, If you want to be exact.

Leaving my hole in the ground was bittersweet. Sure, I’d wished to feel what my mother had called sunlight or hear the wind through the tall green trees every hour of the 4448.41 days I’ve been in here. But that had been my life, and I’ve gotten used to it. And when you can only reme...

I sit in a tree. the wind is blowing around me, cool on my burning cheeks.

I lean my head against the branch, my body feels heavy, like its made of metal. And it’s trying to trap me to the earth, trying to stop me from flying.

The wind is getting colder and colder, and I have the feeling that my bones are freezing inside me, slowly chipping away, in tiny frozen pieces…

My eyes are now the only thi...

A whisper in the night.

A shadow in the darkness.

My eyes are like an eagles, I can see them in the dark.

My ears are like a bats, I can hear them through the traffic.

“Where is Eugene?”

“I know as little as you, Joan.”

“Sigh. Why is he always late?”

“It must be for a good reason”,

“Oh it better be… well did you at least get the layout?”

“Of course I did Joan, you don’t have very much confidence i...

I walk into are old, local bookstore. a smell of books both old and new meet my nose, new books have a sharp tang to them, while old books smell slightly musty, both are warm and comforting.

The old bookstore has always been my escape, but today it felt different, almost magical….

I dismiss the thought though, it’s probably just because theirs more people in here then usual, why are their that man...

But nobody ever wanted to see him, for that

Meant someone was very sick indeed.

The medicine man only came out if someone was on their deathbed, Plagued with the ghosts of the underworld. Some said the medicine man was a ghost himself, dead from sickness and come back to the living to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. Others said he was not from the un...

I try to steady my hands as I walk, distracting myself by memorizing the ups and downs of this place, mentally visualizing a map in my head. I look up as we pass through a side door into a grand hall, white marble pillars climb to the ceiling then arch inward swooping into giant arcs. It’s the biggest room I’ve ever seen in my life, it must have taken years and years to build it, not to mention th...

This was taking way to long, thought Mira.

Someone should have opened that door by now. She was just about to give up when she heard the door creak open, her whole body tensed up, she slowly peeked around the wall, please let it not be Elijah. It wasn’t, Thank god. Instead it was the girl with the fair hair again, she was arguing with someone behind the door, her voice rising in octaves. “Come on...

(Chapter two is lost and found)

I walk back to the small flat that we have spent many years toiling for, switching from job to job from city to city. I make sure that I memorize the way to the secret door in the alleyway, so that I can come back tomorrow.

I finally reach the flat, I flop down on to the small mattress that I used to share with Camila (Elijah would sleep on the floor because he...

(Don’t leave is chapter one)

It’s been two days since El left, and I still can’t find him. He simply vanished, every single person I ask has the same answer

“Elijah? No I haven’t seen him in a while.”

Or: “oh yeah, him? Nope. Haven’t seen him.”

I even went to the factory where he used to work, they said he quit and they hadn’t seen him since.

I was going to find him though, even if it took tw...
