Writings

Magic

A sprinkle of dust glimmered in the morning sunlight, settling softly on the ancient, leather-bound book before me. The five-letter word, ā€œmagic,ā€ had brought me luck once again.


I had discovered the book hidden in the attic of my grandmotherā€™s house, nestled between forgotten relics and memories of a bygone era. Its cover was worn, the pages yellowed with age, but it held a promise that I couldn...

To Live Twice

If you could restart your entire life, would you do it?


For me, it wasnā€™t even a question.


For that reason, when I saw this old book hidden amongst my late grandfatherā€™s boxes, there was no shot in hell I wasnā€™t about to give it a read. It carried itā€™s own mesmerising air, like the contents of this book were of some mystical origin.


I sat down on the dusty, weathered sofa of his old parlour. I...

Hope

There was a sparkle

That shimmered so brightly

It was the only light Ive received in this cave

The darkness made me question everything

about myself

So Iā€™ll cling to that sparkle

With all my might

I didnā€™t want to let it go

Its comforting

I choked my pride

In hopes that it would lead me somewhere safer

So as I walked down that dark path

The sparkle of light turned into something brighter

Tha...

Lover

A notebook sat blank in front of me, almost pleading to be filled with secrets. Only I had no secrets to tell, only a cluttered mind and one that was filled with a bunch of random bits of knowledge and events. The navy blue ink made contact with the white spaces and words began to occupy the emptiness. Sometimes writing was better than talking to anyone. I donā€™t have to worry about what others thi...

Thatā€™s what she said

TRIGGER WARNING: Drug use, Addiction, Death



When Marcy first handed me the pipe, it was during her graduation party. She had just graduated with her Masters degree in sociology. I guess with the stress of her courses, she needed something to take the edge off.


We had always been close, despite the route I took after High School (Iā€™ve never been much of a scholar). Marcy went to a prestigious ...

I used to wake up every morning and go to my normal boring school. It was draining and I dreaded it. My life consisted of waking up, going to school, coming home, and sleeping. That was my life.

I didnā€™t have any friends. I was dubbed the ā€˜weirdā€™ kid at school because I would rather be doi...

An Alchemistā€™s Ambition

I had always been a useless alchemist. As an apprentice to the Royal Alchemist, my father, everyone expects great things from me. I knew all the recipes and techniques but my potions were never as strong as they should be. My father says that Iā€™m just inexperienced but I know that itā€™s because Iā€™m only half elf. Because of my human mother, I donā€™t have the inherent magic that all Elves should. I h...

Change

A sprinkle of dust, a five letter word, and a little bit of hope can change your whole life. At least, it did mine. I knew who I wanted to be, what I wanted to become at a young age. The movies. Sitting on the Hollywood sign, waving to the cameras. That was the life meant and made for me. I tried auditions when I was young but they didnā€™t see in my what I saw in myself - what I _knew_ was there. S...

A Little Different

ā€œSome of our a little different.ā€ The assassin did her best to be kind, but fairytale endings didnā€™t happen to girls like her.

She was used to using her talents to gain money and fame, but to protect the world from people worse then her.

Princess charming was a little different. His life had been handed to him on a diamond encrusted silver platter. He had only seen the money he inherited and crown...
