There’s a moment in every mans life where a choice has to be made. A moment to stand still or to jump on a armed granade. Gun fire echos off the cement walls of the empty alleyway. My eyes lock on to a screaming child just a couple of feet to my right. Her hand clinching a teddy bear tightly. My heart drops to the pit of my stomach as I watch tears wail up in the childs foggy blue eyes. In that in...

The day started as any other. Wake up and get the baby ready for the day. Get ready for work. The baby was not in their crib. I heard them giggling over the baby monitor right before I walked in so I knew they were in the room.

“Sippy?” I looked in their crib in case my brain was malfunctioning so early in the morning. They weren’t there. “Sippy?” I heard the giggling again. This time I could pi...

You’re a collector

Collecting us all like dolls

Just to sit on your wall

When our plastic limbs try to move

Your hands pull us from the shelf, playing with us

Creating a world where we are friends

Where the permanent marker on our faces, lips, hair

Are all washed out

But you don’t understand were not porcelain

With vacant eyes

waiting to be filled with life

Saying the cracks in our hollow skulls...

REPOST

The emptiness of your open arms

Embracing my tears

Letting them soak your sleeves

I hold you

As you hold

Me

We write together

Laugh together

Everyday

Everyday I look out your starry eyes

Every night we the look at the starry night

I still remember

I still remember the tears I cried with out you

The things I wrote with out you

The laughs I haven’t had

Even as I sit here

By the dirt of yo...

I wake up, I can’t see a thing except for the small pin sized hole in which light beams through. All of a sudden more and more holes appear one after another and then I feel it. I’m being shot at not by one gun but multiple guns. I feel the bullets hit me one by one, my body starts to fall apart as holes are ripped in me from the bullets. The light then begins to blur and I feel my self fading int...

It was a normal day for a abnormal kid. I was hired to find a assassin in my class when I was only thirteen.

As I walked I saw my crush, Maddie Fowler. She was average in every aspect, wavy blond hair and green eyes, a bright smile that light up her whole face. She was walking with, ugh, Jason Miller. That jerk acted like the nicest dude around Maddie, but really he was the most discluding bully ...

Monday.

It’s here.

Lou dreaded this day all weekend. She could tell her friends tried to distract her by coming over and hanging out which she appreciates, but it doesn’t change the facts.

She would lose her powers for seven hours on the weekdays.

Her parents were outraged to hear about the school board’s decision on the power dampening cuffs. Powerful parent bears they are when their cubs a...

It was sudden. The forceful blow of something surprisingly soft coming from behind me, hitting my head. I wasn't hurt, but shocked to say the least. I turned around to find out what it was, but then more things started raining down from above— a simultaneous jumble of unknown objects. Not hard, but not as soft as the former. There was another with me in the same aisle. I quickly went to his assist...

Chaotic?

Chaotic.

How do you spell chaotic?

Does it start with a C…? No, a … K?

Maybe I can sound it out.

Kay-o-tic?

Damn it.

Second guessing myself is the worst.

I’m a journalist and I can’t even remember how to spell this word.

Everything in my life is so… chaotic.

My wife wanted me to start this job, but it doesn’t pay very much and now it feels like this whole article hinges on this one wor...

“Well

He said she said that he was sure by the shore she should’ve shot her shot but sure enough she shanked and sunk surely, because she should’ve showed her support because she sure did, but surely enough she was silent”

…..

“Um

What?”

“It’s my friend! Shirley! She wanted to ask out the burly boy Eric, a lumberjack, but she was nervous because he was sad.”

“Why was he sad”

“Well

Because...
