So, I’ve been wanting to write a mini-series about mythical creatures.
These aren’t mermaids or anything, but instead cat like creatures. (Just by looking at my writings you can tell I like cats)
For example, a type of creature I’ve come up with is a bright, pastel colored cat with butterfly like wings and antennas. (No I don’t know what to call it, if you have any name suggest...
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on Laura and Michael as they said quietly at the kitchen table. Their hands were wrapped around mugs, but their eyes were locked in a silent battle.
"I didn't think about that,’’ said Michael glumly, a look of shame washing over his features.
"You don't think about anything!’’ Laura snapped back, her anger piercing through him like a bull...
_Two people stand in a void, an empty plain of bright light, a sensory deprivation chamber of swirling shapes and sounds just out the realm of comprehension. Both are identical yet different. One is younger, more lively and larger in size. The other is older, his face aged by time, his body more lean and muscular._

Outside the car, rain falls in heavy sheets. I can tell I wasn’t out long, because we seem to be driving through the same stretch of baron highway. Same passing power line poles, same drenched fields.
“It’s no use,” I say and scoot myself upright in the passenger seat. Rubbing against the leather makes that sound that Jim always giggles at. It reminds him of farts.
“Hun, we’ve ...
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Sarah asks while pouting and absentmindedly scrolling on her phone. She looks up for a moment to gaze into Jack’s eyes. “I think about a lot of things, I just forget sometimes. You know that.”
Jack huffs and crosses his arms as he glares. “You can barely get through a conversation without staring at your phone. I understand being forgetful but it’s hurtful when you...
“I didn’t think about that.” Izara said to Einar, her brother. She knew she messed up. She’d been used, but it wasn’t her fault. She swore it wasn’t.
“You don’t think about anything!” He said.
“I know.” She grew up with people constantly telling her that her opinion wasn’t important. That she was only here to produce an heir for her future husband. She was told not to have thoughts.
She’d be...
“Oh, no, no, no, no,” the girl crooned, rocking violently as she ran her hands through her scraggly hair. She was curled in the corner of the dark room, as filthy as the dirt floor. They had unchained her over twenty-four hours ago, but she didn’t move outside of the five foot radius she had become accustomed to. She continued to mumble and was restless in her fidgeting.
“Why, Aiden, why did you ...
“Huh,” Vages Black tilted his head to one side like a dog would at hearing a strange noise. “I didn’t think about that.”
I sighed looking at my partner annoyance no doubt written all over my face. “Of course not,” I replied. “You don’t think about anything.” That last part I muttered under my breath but i was pretty sure he still heard it as he looked at me.
Vages Black, brother of Noura Black...
Wind whipped across the black stones that held the buildings roof in place. Sending both boys struggling to stand still.
Alzec was trying to brace himself against the roof by taking a knee. His overcoat blowing franticly. Aqua blue curles bouncing against his taned face, dark forest green eyes red with worry.
Remson (Rem - son) crumbled onto the roof’s edge, holding on for dear life. Tan knuck...
