Part Two to “Fair on the Pier”

Earlier that Day…

If you ever get handed a hall pass that’s _already filled out_ with your name, time, and destination… run. Seriously. Sprint in the opposite direction, fake an injury, start a fire—whatever it takes. Because that’s how it started for me. One second I was zoning out in chem class, thinking about how thermodynamics is stupid and useless, and the nex...

The Dedriwinkle Chronicles Book 7:Hiding

The lush green forest looked like something from a fairytale, but I didn’t get much time to admire it as Leo and I ran through the trees.

I didn’t ask questions, just ran.

Eventually, my lungs were screaming and I collapsed to the ground, my vision going blurry.

I freaked out, but eventually, my eyes cleared. I was still gasping for air, but at least I knew I was alive. Leo helped me up. “You oka...

Cold Sweats

I don’t remember it being this cold the last time I came back to the wreckage. I breathe out, my lips are drying out and sticking together. I cough but I only end up inhaling more dry air.

I take my hair out of its ponytail. Maybe that will warm me up a little. Everything is so foggy. Something is wrong. Something is off, I’m not here. This isn’t real.

I wake up in my bed, sweating. I kick off m...

His Choice

Book Princess

Seth was only half the man that Micheal was, he wasn’t as educated or athletic. He was just there and to others he was this ordinary guy that walked with anything less than a purpose but to me that purpose served as the definition of home. He was mature and surprisingly understood my jokes, he was defiant but misunderstood.

Micheal was always visible to everyone, seen and heard. Except I never no...

The Most Wicked Thing

Odessa Rose

1 min read

I look at the pool of blood under his body, his lifeless, broken body. Trust is sometimes the the most wicked thing in the world. I trusted Kavin, but he murderd the only person I cared about. The only person who cared about _me_.

I keep on telling myself he isn’t really dead, but his chest isn’t rising and pulse is gone.

I fell to my knees in sobs, and I whisper in his cold ear, “I will not w...

Aphrodite’s Trick

Aphrodite tortures me

When I collapsed

On my knees at her altar

Offered her all my gold

And pleaded for her divine power

This isn’t what I asked for

I did not want the turmoil

Of a choice

I wanted to be loved again

Yet here I am, watching my two best friends

Turn from companions to sudden rivals

Ravaging each other with hatred

Ripping at tendons and bones with frustration

Killling each othe...

The car swirled out onto on coming traffic, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, as I sat in the passenger seat.

“Turn the car around Ryan!” I yelled.

“I can’t— I’ve been working so hard for this moment! You know, this is your fault for being a terrible driver!”

“Am not! And I needed that time with Mrs. Kristyn!” I crossed my arms. Then I heard it, sirens. Police sirens. “Pull over Ryan!”

(Kind of short… and isn’t exactly the prompt)

“Wait— you know Dennis?” I asked, shocked.

“Mhm, we go to the same high school.” Kimberly nodded. “Dennis!” She called, and he walked over to the picnic table.

Dennis and I used to be good school friends. But, then I started homeschool and we drifted apart.

Me and Kimberly got a summer job together as lifeguards, and we’ve been having lunch at the ...
