_Two lovesick girls. One unjust government. An underground rebellion that could change everything._
Enya is confident. Maybe a little too much. All she wants is to run away from her corrupt world so she can be with Cordelia. She’s done being told how to act and who to love by a government that knows nothing about her. She’s ready to break free.
Cordelia is scared. She knows that running will be ...
I got my list on my seventeenth birthday, same as everyone. They’re based on the things that matter, according to the government. Grades, physical state, mental state. You can date whomever you chose before that, but once you get your list, you’re expected to drop everything and find the peorson at the top of your list and settle down with them. The government originally introduced the list system...
Father, father, look at the sky!
The sun and the water, as I fly so high!
I see it my boy, it is exquisite
We’re finally free, so don’t fly too high
I can’t lose you now, I can’t watch you die
Yes, father, I won’t fly too high
I’ll only chase the sun, it’s beautiful,
Oh my! Looks at its rays!
As they shine so bright!
You can’t ever see this, in the nights on Crete
I know my boy, it’s very ...
If only the waters weren’t so deep
And if I could finally grow some teeth
Then maybe by now I’d be gone
Gone from this place of sorrow and bones
Blood left behind and kids all alone
This place where needles poke your skin
And try to cure what’s deep within
If only I could get some sleep
Then maybe I’ll finally leap
Far and high across the sky
I’d sour and cry and never die
No one would have to tel...
Tears spilled out around us as women held their lovers, now soldiers, tight one last time. Many of these men wouldn’t see daylight again, and they knew it. They were off the the trenches, where if they didn’t die, they’d by scarred for life, physically and mentally.
Maisy had escorted Theodore to the train station, though she told her self she did so only as a loyal childhood friend. But every la...
That night it seemed the whole world was burning. Homes of all kinds bruned. Down fell the trees, the buildings, the city. Everything, reduced to ashes. People cried in the streets as they watched their homes burn, birds fled to the sky and witnessed the falling of their nests. Tears formed rivers and flooded the fire, but they only fuled its destruction. The world burned, on no one could stop it....
You give us water and we’ll drown our enemies, you give us fire and we’ll burn their cities. They’ll do the same to us. It’s all one vicious cycle, the only difference is where we stand. And where we stand is only determined by where we live. But how can we live if we all want to kill each other so badly? That, I really don’t know. I don’t really know most things, same as you. We can’t tell the fu...
I am the undertaker. The grim reaper. The god Thatanos. Many people have called me many things throughout the course of history. But to put it simply, I am Death. The keeper of fallen souls and escort of pale bodies.
————
It’s not easy being me. Every day I chose who is next. Who I will take into my cold hands and sever their last tethers to life. I have many assistants, but sometimes the souls ...

I’ll finally finish reading that book
I’ll start my nightly routine earlier
I’ll go outside more
I’ll write something
I’ll play with my dog

“Mama, look at me! I’m a fairy!” The little girl squealed as she twirled around in her dress and fairy wings.
“Oh, you absolutely adorable! Let me get a picture. Everyone!” She announced to the small gathering of people in the yard. “Come on in and let’s get a picture for the birthday girl!”
The crowd stopped their mulling around the tables and made their way over to the little girl. They posed...
