Storm the Castle

“You want us to do what?”


“Storm the castle.” The King was as calm as if he was ordering his nightly meal.


The General, the King’s friend and right-hand man was not enthusiastic. And his voice was downright sarcastic. “Right. The seven of us are going to storm the castle, which, by the way, is full of elite troops who want to kill you and us, because they know that we are planning to take ba...

Back In The Habit

That was probably the worst idea you’ve ever had. To stop writing for as long as long as you did. I don’t thnk you can even call it an idea or a decion. You just drifted away, right when you were startibg to develop some momentum.


What if you’d carried on? Where would you be now. And there in lies the problem. Captalism has made you thik monitisation of a passion is the only true measure of its ...

Lab Rats

(This is more on my OC's Kieran and Gia, just a bit about their backstory, go read Test Number #8 for their introduction though!)



"That was probably the worst idea you've ever had... how did it work?"

"Hah, told you I know what I'm doing!" Gia punched the vending machine one more time, knocking down a Dr. Pepper.

"Here you go!"

Kieran thanked her, and the two walked around the lab, bored.

Must be a Stranger

Rose was thirteen when she asked her mom about her sister.


Not her little sister.


No, she knew everything about her eight year old sibling.


This was about her older sister. She would be eighteen——is eighteen. Since she’s still alive.


Rose thought so at least.


Her mom didn’t appear to think so.


Anytime it was her sister’s birthday or a day of significance that it would make sense to bring...

KATT & NICK. (2)

How long has it been since I’ve been thoroughly obnoxious? That is what I asked Nick a few days ago, when one of my other friends told me I hadn’t been “thoroughly obnoxious” in a while. It’s not like I _try_ to be. I wouldn’t even call myself an obnoxious person. I would rather prefer _highly eccentric and overly ambitious_.


All he did was side eye me and laugh. Went back to playing a game on h...

Tea Party

I spent another hour at the party, avoiding Damian, before heading up to bed. I was exhausted by then. A bunch of other Heirs came my way and tried to talk to me. I had shrugged them all off. Tonight had been enough already.


I collapsed into my bed. I felt so tired. My feet hurt and my body ached. I hated these balls. They wore me out.


My dreams that night were full of Damian. They were more l...

Fledge!!!

I can’t believe you thought I wouldn’t notice! It seemed odd when you kept the compass so close… even when you were using the privy. Now what are we supposed to do?? We have to get home to Mom and Dad now! You heard them… it’s dangerous out here.


We have no idea what kinds of animals are watching us even right now. I can feel their beady eyes just waiting for us to let our guard down. Fledge, yo...

LRG Triangle [P2]

[LUCAS]


“That was probably the worst idea you’ve ever had, and yet…” Runne looks toward me, his eyes holding an appreciative expression I never would’ve guessed he was capable of, “it worked.”


_Maybe it shouldn’t have._


I bite back a grimace, thinking of Giselle cuddled into Runne’s side.


“Yeah,” I begin to brush it off, “no problem, bro.”


Runne looks back at me, his face bursting into a wi...

Re-wired

“That was probably the worst idea that you’ve ever had… And yet, it worked!” Leo said.

“Of course killing all those guards and soldiers was a good idea. Don’t sound so surprised.” Liannaa said.

He looked at her.

“You say it as though my plans never work.”

“That’s because they don’t.” He said, “especially the ones that include ‘killing a lot of people.’”

“Those ones just never work b...

Learn the knot, uncle Rob was a soldier.

Run around, be a good son.


Clean your room, finish up.


Tie it up, make it work.


Write it out, just for you.


Try it out, it’s tempting me.
