Don't walk home alone, _they said_.
Don't walk home alone in an alley, _they said_.
Don't walk home alone without your phone, _they said._
Don't walk home alone without looking behind you, _they said._
Don't walk home alone without anyone knowing where you are, _they said_.
Don't walk home alone with your hands in your pocket, _they said._
Don't walk home alone without being faster than the one...
I covered my ears tighter as my tears fell from my eyes to the table. It’s my fault. I killed her. I killed Starr and the aftermath, killed what everyone once was. This once happy and loving family is now broken and dysfunctional. I stared at the vodka. It called my name. Kit. I couldn’t take this anymore. I snatched the bottle and started gulping it down, it burnt my throat but I didn’t care. I s...
I am made entirely of flaws, stitched together by good intentions.
Am I selfless or selfish?
One suffering is better than a million suffering right?
I'm not so sure about that now. The screams are only growing louder and louder, the earmuffs are losing its effect, the shadows are still there. Lurking in the shadows with my sanity.
Sanity, that definition is unclear to me now.
My hands bleed wit...
I stared out at the sky, it was clear as usual and then…it began to rain. I watched as the people within the town came out of their homes, their shops, the school just to see it. All so fascinated by it and I was too. I walked over to the door of my shop, prepared to leave but my father grasped my shoulder, holding me back. I was confused and didn’t have time to speak before following his gaze.
I...
The stars were what she liked most about the sky. Then, they started to fall.
The warmth getting closer, the faint sound of whistling crashing through the sky.
The sparkle never faulting once.
The breath of the star.
The heat it pierced through my body.
My hand reaching up to feel, colliding with the edges that felt warm against it. The sparkle transferring into me. The brightness that ma...
When I washed away the pink, I washed away the color from my life until nothing but black was left.
I lied like a sailor to disguise my truth.
I tried physically changing to appeal to others.
It began with my hair, then my face, then my clothes, then my weight.
I was nervous and scared that night.
Not because of the dinner but because you could see the change in my weight.
The tears behind my sm...
I always hated drunk drivers, alcoholics in general. Yet I still drink, maybe it’s the “no turning back” motto that does it or the alcohol that makes me forget the pain I caused.
The deal with alcoholics and drunk drivers is that they ruin everyone’s lives. Their own and the people around them and for what? To forget the pain in your life? Drinking won’t take that pain away. You’ll forget it, onl...
I let her take my hand, as we walked into the night. I could feel the wind hit my face, I could hear her breathing as she began to run.
Her giggling.
It’s like I could picture everything even if I couldn’t see it. I could even picture her aura, glowing a bright yellow.
Yellow meaning joy.
Joy that we’ve once felt, we’ve once held onto.
The joy that I crave.
The joy that I took away.
Joy that ...
Upon my twenty-third birthday, I have not gotten any gift, other than a card filled with money.
Now I can say that I’ve gotten an…old pair of glasses? No note, no money, only a note saying my name. Hana Strider.
I was surprised by the odd yet useless gift, I never wore glasses except for one time.
Which made me wonder, who could’ve sent these? No one knows what happened all those years ago excep...
It was the day. The day for the prophecy to be fulfilled once and for all.
We all heard the news through rumors, friends, acquaintances, strangers. The news spread like fire, and the people were the gasoline.
No one knew exactly what the prophecy was, all we knew is that the person who lay their hands onto the crystallized orb, would see the prophecy.
And if they were the chosen one, they could ...
