her wings tarnished her halo no longer vibrant her words silent

Like an echo in the absence of light

She dances on the edge of the ledge

Filling with dred as her once known to be god expels her from her heavenly kingdom

I guess life is just never fair

And hell's glare

She’ll whisper into the cold night

Reaching for someone who is not there

Hell is a teenage girl they s...

The Grand Chronometer.

Murkstone-Snatchly was a bustling city. Fires and forges, grime and graft made it a place where the sun was an occasional guest, and mostly seen only as a dim yellow-ochre orb through soup-like clouds. The rain generally failed to keep its distance, and generally failed also to have any cleansing benefit upon the place.

A peculiar thing seemed to be happening at the Murks ...

Olivia curls up against the wall eyes large as she watches daddy stab mommy. Painting the white walls dark crimson.

Jack gets home hangs his coat on the empty coat wall, the world goes dark, a demons holds his daughter hostage in it’s arms. He screams, frees his daughter and attacks the demon.

Emma has heard of death and was always fascinated by it, sometimes even wishing it upon herself. Now ...

Every night there had to be one cowboy, Ember thought. He tossed another handful of sawdust over the sick on the ride’s floor. Days like this made Ember wish he was on one of the classier rides like Pegasus’ Flight. Ember remembered a guy proposed to his high school sweetheart twenty years after high school on Pegasus’s Flight. Gilded winged animals and crying babies, nothing bad ever happens on a...

Captain Noah Dayton stood at the helm of his flagship The Ark, a colossal feat of engineering and physics. This metal and glass wonder was 1200 square miles, roughly the size of Rhode Island. From where he stood on his command deck, he oversaw a vast landscape of forests, mountains, lakes, valleys, and everything in between. Several cities and towns were spread out below. There were even more beyo...

There is a battle happening in a field that once bloomed with flowers of all colors. Now the grass is rusty with dry blood, and the dirt cracking from summer rain that will never come anyway.

Not a single soldier is fierce, though they all do fight. There are good and bad warriors on both sides, but each one of them have the same terror pulsing through their veins in the same, fast pace.

Jeremy has a hole through his forearm. The bleeding is under control. The hysteria is still building, though I can see he’s trying to be brave. He’s doing his best to keep Jamie and Erin from assuming the fetal position and shifting to a liability.

The girl smiles as she walks with her pap. He makes a funny joke, their feet trampling over fine grass. The road mere feet away from where they stepped.

The mum grabbed the steering wheel with her left hand, leaning back quickly to say something clearly to her son. He glares at her with stern eyes, cold and fierce at twelve years of age.

The man let go of his steering wheel as his drugs finally ...

She is but a little princess

With a circlet round her head

Born into this noble station

No idea what’s ahead

So she reads the hallowed stories

Of the royals gone before

Kings and Queens long since passed on

Leaving life’s wisdom in store

Leading troops into the war

How he taxed the wealthy people

To support the starving poor

Queen Violetta, smart as any
