The scent of caramel apples and fried butter filled the air. You could almost feel the excitement as people from everywhere, all ages lined up to see the fair’s newest addition: The Circus Act: A Place of Wonders and Curiosity. But that’s not why I was here. My friend, Mae, had told me about a fortune telling machine. I’d never seen one of those before, so I just had to go to see it.

I walked aro...

"Are you actually considering it? Have you gone mad?!" Kalevai threw her hands up in animated motions, pacing around the room.

"What other choice do I have?" Cleon rubbed the bridge of his nose, eyes shut, as if even the sunlight was battering him.

"Refuse! Cleon, if you go through with this, they'll hang us from the fucking wall!" She slammed her hands on the table, furious.

"And i...

Cult of the cosmos

Masturbating in the church bathroom

Bleeding onto the safety pins on the tile floor

Death by monotony or familiar fear

I want to vomit

Empty myself of all the garbage you fed me

My internal organs pink, tinged copper

Because poison leaves it’s mark on little girls

I want surgical scalpels between my ribs

I want to appear like my own savior

I want to keep you up all night

Br...

“You’d have to be an absolute fool to believe that!” She cried.

“Well I do.” I tell her.

“I ain’t buying it.” She said shaking her head.

“I thought you wouldn’t, but I hoped you would.”

Amy wrinkled her brow at me, she really doesn’t believe me. She’s supposed to be my friend but she doesn’t even believe me, though, to be fair, it does sound rather unlikely.

“It’s true.” I insist.

“Prove it...

Once upon a time in a small village, there lived two neighbors named Thomas and Emily. Thomas was a grumpy old man who believed that all people were inherently bad. He thought that everyone was selfish, dishonest, and only out for their own gain. On the other hand, Emily was a kind-hearted woman who firmly believed that everyone had something good inside them, no matter how small.

One day, the vi...

“You’d have to be an absolute fool to believe that!” Jackson shouted.

“Then explain why she messaged me out of the blue. I don’t even know her. But, funny enough, YOU’VE been friends with her on Facebook for months and never mentioned it.” Darla countered.

“She’s just causing trouble for me.”

“Why? What motive would she have?”

Jackson fell silent and Darla had her answer. It wasn’t the first t...

The sound of shuffling on carpet made Kalissi stir. Her head was pounding like she’d been hit by a brick.

“Wait” She thought to herself, carefully opening her eyes to see a medium dog sized robot standing on two feet.

The robot looked like a more advanced version of the little girr robot from invader zim. Two large circular eye socket looking screens and a small robotic...

You’d have to be an absolute fool to believe that…a guy who has his very own island near the Caribbean; been visited by just about every celebrity and politician people know, has been sexually trafficking kids and has later died in an apparent suicide on suicide watch...

“So you really have nothing to say to ANYTHING I just said to you?” Marissa seethed, waiting for a response from her boyfriend that didn’t come. “Well Matthew?!”

He turned his eyes to her for a moment, taking her in lazily from head to toe, then turned his attention back to his phone, where it had been the entirety of their argument. “Is there something you WANT me to say?” He retorted, and Mari...

Diary Entry #2

January 2nd, 2023

Day off of school today! Binge time!

My mom made me go shopping with her. I saw that guy again.

He gave me a note this time, still said hi. Still a gentlemen in my eyes.

My mom teased me about him when we were going home.

I didn’t do as much binging as I would have hoped today, but at least I got to see that boy again…...
