Smoke plumes just a few streets over as I can see small floating lights drift in the night wind. These cinders must be from a raging fire. I rush through the street towards the light that illuminates the nightlife of our town. As I turn a corner my snout is met with a strong scent of acrid smoke. The source of this cloud is a small heap of wood that looks on the verge of full collapse. No one is i...
I read the note over and over again, hoping that I had missed some part of the joke, but nothing else was there. I rubbed my eyes vigorously, in case I had undiagnosed dyslexia. Or, just maybe, I had taken some drugs that I had somehow forgotten about and all of this was a hallucination.
Nope, definitely real.
How did I even get this letter? If the other Pandora really did exist, how did she ma...
“Come on Jen, it’ll be fun, what are you scared of?” Sharron teased as she walked backwards down the dark lane, followed closely by Shawn.
“Sharron, I don’t think that this is a good idea. It’s really dark, what if something happens.” Jennifer whined not wanting to lose face in front of Shawn. He was her first crush and she was loath to appear weak in his eyes. Unfortunately Sharron was a lot bra...
“Mom..I’m not sure I want to do this.” I said, afterwards biting my lip.
“Son, she is a pretty girl. She’s nice, intelligent, and dainty. She’s the perfect princess.” My mom said, looking at me like I am crazy.
“Ugh, fine. I’ll meet her. If I don’t like her then I am NOT marrying her.” I said, storming to my room.
“I want to marry Rachel, the beautiful peasant girl. My parents will never let me...
The night was cold, each of my legs pushing forward. My bike bumping along the mucky path of the forest. In the distance was a bright beam shinning towards the sky. Curiouse and curiouser, I thought. Ahead was a opened feild right about where the beam had came from. My body frozen From what was unfront of me. My eyes had to be deceiving me was what I saw truly there?. A spaceship descending let of...
The wind whistles as a silent ship docks at a snow covered outpost. The wood of the boat creaks and groans as a small light flickers from the ignition of a lantern. The footsteps echo within the cabin as the lantern steadily travels past iron bars of differing sizes. The figure holding the lantern is illuminated just enough to see a half burned face scanning the containers. Following close behind,...
The dark sky didn’t help me, with my day of fish
My stomach rumbling, and hungry for a dish
Nothing swimming or diving, around my empty pole
Whoever said that night fishing, can fall in a hole
As my tired eyes tried to hopefully, stay a little awake
Dreaming of fresh fish to catch, and cook and bake
Suddenly above my tired head, a white flash I saw
Not knowing where to go, damn was it the la...
Our DIY spaceship finally touched down on a dock. It seemed as though we were traveling forever.
We hit the dock coming in and it rocked the ship back and forth. Our ship’s navigator is malfunctioning. We’ve been lost for quite a while now. Hopefully here we can find someone to help.
The dock we landed on does not look familiar. I have no idea where we are and a few of the you...
