Outcry (Soulmate Story)
Amelie hates school assemblies. Literally anything that has all four grades in the same small space is her nightmare. So she must be asleep.
Everyone is so noisy that she can barely hear Ria right next to her.
Bell and Cross are on Amelie’s other side with Roman, Jeremiah, Lou and Jones in the row in front of them. She has to lean forward to understand Jones. “You think this has to do with the ...
End Of The Fucking World
The apocalypse sucks.
I know that that seems pretty obvious but it really does.
Like I’m 17 and instead of going to parties and getting drunk, like people did 40 years ago, I’m learning how to shoot a sawed off shotgun. We’ve tried to throw parties but once a large group of adolescents crack open a whiskey bottle it’s all over. We were way to loud, got caught within half an hour. As punishment w...
WHO DID IT?!
Whoever did it fess up
And clean the mess up
Peeing on the floor isn’t allowed
This is high school
Not this is gonna fly school
We can leave
When somebody tells the truth
Or I’m gonna have to be a sleuth
2,000 students and nobody has any integrity?
So one of you wants to be a celebrity?
I will find you
And I will not be kind with you
Because peeing on the floor IS NOT ALLOWED...
Where It Ends
Boom
They stand all huddled by the door
As he steps forward inspecting the crowd
Boom
Another collapses to the floor
They all try there best to not make a sound
The goal is to not make your self a target
The goal is to survive
But one stands far from it
As the two lock eyes
He points the barrel at you
Beckoning you to stand
It is only the two
As she takes his hand
(Sorry if this doesn’t make ...
Reunion
“He doesn’t deserve to know ya!” He said bitterly.
I remained silent to gather my thoughts. I wasn’t talking to that 18 year old I used to know. We are now in our fifties.
“You’re so much older now and so am I. What are you afraid of? There are people here from my past that I don’t care to see.”
A few familiar female faces walked passed us and smiled upon entering the restaurant. The warm bea...
Help
We piled into the auditorium with loud chatter filling the room. We only assumed it was another assembly about saying no to drugs or cyber bulling, not that anyone listened to them anyway. The teachers seemed more quiet this time and there was an odd tension in the room. The chatter of my peers didn’t stop though until the principal stood on the stage with the dented microphone. This wasn’t ordina...
Decree
“A decree has been issued,” the duke announced from the booming microphone. “You are to only have two children in the next ten years to ensure that we will have enough food.”
My fourteen year old brain started doing the math. You had to be 23 to have a kid and have to have a least one kid by 28 unless under special circumstances.
My only hope is that the rule would be removed before my time....
The Game
Gunpwder and apprehesion hung fetid in the air. Soft murmurs throbbed. Hood Auditorium was crowded with the Seven Hundred. Starting high in the bleachers, feet thumped. Up and down, boom and bam, the rhythm built as Teal marched to beneath the basketball hoop. Her weapons swung with pride.
Clad in grey camos and her signature eyepatch, Teal raised both hands with her machetes. The crowd fell eear...
assembly of assassins
Where am I?
I wake up in a crowd of strangers.
Everyone is wearing a mask, scarf, bandana; some variety of face covering. Their eyes are showing. And they’re all blade of spring grass green. It’s hard to tell without the blatancy of mouth descriptors if these beings are angelic or mean.
Oh shit… I peep a pesto bismol colored bandana hanging from my neck. I never wanted any of this. I hate the ...
