Bay backed up a little more and felt some earth crumble beneath her. She looked back and saw the large canyon. She looked back at the guy before her.
He rushed forward and grabbed her throat, dangling her over the edge. "Say goodbye, girl." he laughed.
Bay felt his hand release it's tight grip. She plummeted quickly down into the canyon. She reached her arm out and a string of web shot out and g...
We all walked in a group. Me, Mallory, Lily, Tyler, and Kai.
Mallory wanted to have a âfunâ night. Which in our lives seemed impossible.
I stopped at the edge a cliff, the mountains all looked so beautiful from here.
âIâm taking a break,â I said, âIâll meet you at the camp site.â
Mallory nodded but didnât say anything.
I sat down in the edge of the cliff my feet dangling off the side.

The sun is setting now and I fear it may be my last. I clench my side trying to maintain pressure as the blood pours out. Father always told me to avoid this side of the mountain, I guess now I know why. Why must th...
Catch me, I would cry
As I child Iâd leap and fly
From the sofa to the arms
Of my mothers strong embrace.
Catch me I would say
As I danced the night away
Danced until the early day
And catch me they would obey.

To my darling older sister
To prevent another blister
From climbing on the trees.
Catch me I would scream
In my terrors, In my dreams
Wishing someone were with ...
âI canât do it AerinâI canât I justââ
âHey, just take a deep breath.â
Flint, my brother, takes a deep breath. My *brother*
If thinking the word is bitter, I canât imagine saying it.
He takes a deep breath, but I can tell that it hasnât calmed him in the least.
He was a completely different person when Iâd first met him in Casimir. He was quick, nimble, calm.
Now those quick eyes that were o...
What happened on this dragged cliffs, what was obscured by the salty mist? Those dark waters look inviting, hiding sharpened knifes.
âCome on Tess, you know youâll never be able to live without me.â He whispered reverently, her name a wicked prayer on his lips. She was his god, and her body shivered in response, swimming in memories of what came after.
He moved closer, his breathe tickling the ...
Itâs been almost six months since that horrific evening. Jason stands at the edge of the cliff taking in the sunset. the sky is painted A warm red as the sun lightly shines rays against the water. the breeze slowly begins to pick up, Jasonâs eyes are locked on the spot where he last saw her.
âJason please.â Her voice echos through his ears almost as if sheâs still here. Jason takes a deep breathe...
Salt, salt everywhere, in his hair, in his eyes, burning his tongue. Acrid sea water crashed against jet black rocks. Splashing upward, on to the cliff edge and spraying down on to him. The sea was far from calm, and Kieranâs spot of the cliff was compromising. It didnât matter. It had to be done today. He resolved to wait on the cliff edge. He didnât need to wait long. All at once the water stil...
