The town of Meadowbrook had always been a quiet, sleepy place, where the most exciting event was the yearly harvest festival. Nestled in a valley between rolling hills, it was a place where everyone knew each other, and nothing much ever changed. The townsfolk were content with their simple lives, and they liked it that way.

That is, until one day, a stranger came into town.

The new arrival was ...

**_Somewhere in the depths of a desert.._**

“ Come get yer’ fresh dragon milk!”

“ Come on over to Lulu’s stand to grab a taste of mah’ breastmilk soap!”

“ Stop on by to try some of my famous zombie uterus pie!”

The venders are loud today..

“ Father, have we found the ‘ eyes?’ “

I questioned.

He gave me an irritated look, rolled his eyes and just grabbed my hand to continue forwards.

I l...

Everyone i've come across at school has been whispering about the new guy. They try to hide it, but all of them are so giddy about his looks that it's hard to not roll my eyes. Even my best friend Morgan has been telling me about him all week through text.

Morgan: His hair is so sexy, the black waves bounce with every step he takes.

Morgan: Oh!

Morgan: His eyes are like swimming in the ocean wi...

In the small town Luke always lived in, everyone knew everyone. It was charming, and full of joy and festivity. One day, something changed. For the better or for worst. A new habitant arrived. A handsome boy named Tom. Tom came from the city, filled with noise, and where everything felt impersonal and personal at the same time. He felt lost, and didn’t know where to look. The locals, on the contra...

“Is that the new girl?” Mickey asked as all the other girls on the field stopped playing football.

All eyes started looking toward the entrance to the school. Braylee quickly realized the commotion behind her. Watching her best friend Mikaela Dunn aka Mickey running clear from the other teams side towards her.

“She must be trouble” A girl behind them stated looking at the obvious police cruise...

I am closing up early today. Ron told me he felt like being generous. For some reason, I do not completely believe that. It isn’t like him to do nice things out of the blue. But it’s also not my place to ask. Plus, I did just get let out much earlier before actual closing time of the library.

_Shut up, Fraya,_ I think. _You just got a free day all to yourself._

As I turn the key to lock the do...

Odysseus stared at the beginning of the maze. He had not expected the labyrinth. Of course, the Princess of Olympus would have Deadelus at her service. She always had a way of convincing her father to do whatever she wanted.

When Odysseus had heard that she was having a competition for her hand, he never wanted to come. After Penelope died, he lost the only woman he ever loved. Suitors tried, man...

“Have you seen the new guy yet?” Madison slumps against the locker next to mine, fake swooning. “He had me clutching my pearls in Biology.” She sighs deeply, holding a perfectly manicured hand to her brow.

I snort, letting my own locker door fall shut, backpack now slung perfectly over my shoulder. “What happened to Marcus? Last week you were convinced you were going to marry him.”

“I’d hit Ma...

At Lavender Brooks High, everyone buzzes when gossip goes around, which happens to be pretty often.

Whether it be that two classmates found their soulmates or did something irresponsible with their powers, it traveled fast.

When there is a new student, the school goes haywire. There is an excitement in the air on what they can do, where they come from, and if they have met their soulmate. Beca...

Deaf people can’t hear

As blind people can’t see

And people come and go

Just like you and me

Yet mute people can speak

In their own foreign tongue

And deaf people can hear

The one song unsung

And so I may ask

Can a slave- seen as free

They all say you’re blind

But you have a million eyes to me...
