The hairs on the back of my neck tingle and for a moment, I am frozen. For a moment, just a flicker of a moment, the face in the mirror was not my own. For that moment, time and space crossed paths and in an instant, I was looking into the face of my mother.
It happens more often since she’s died and it never gets less jarring to expect to see your own tired face, and instead recognize the face ...
Kayla jolted awake, her heart pounding in her chest, drenched in cold sweat. She had just awoken from a terrifying nightmare that left her trembling. As she caught her breath, she stumbled out of bed and made her way to the bathroom, seeking solace in the comforting familiarity of her reflection.
But as Kayla stood before the mirror, her eyes widened in horror. Something was terribly wrong. Her o...
I sit straight up in bed and try to control my breathing. Holy shit that dream has my mind going a thousand miles a second. I could still feel the raspy breath on the back of my neck as if that thing was still chasing me even in my waking hours.
As i slowly convinced my heart to go back to a normal speed I swung my legs out of bed and head towards the bathroom. I could see rays of sunlight starti...
I find myself in a castle. There’s a tall, big man with black hair and a dark look. He is terrifying for some reason, so I struggle trying to find my way out. The exit comes quick, and I tell the dark man that I’m sorry I have to leave, running out the door. He smiles and shouts something vague as I try to find my car. Instead, I find a familiar minivan with two old friends there to accompany me. ...
I knew what I would see when I looked in the mirror. What else was supposed to greet me? Perhaps it was because I already knew what to expect that when I actually saw my reflection my first reaction was, “this isn’t so bad”. It was objectively very bad. A permanent mark alienating from all of human society, and most of Magi society. Though I couldn’t say I had ever actually been accepted by any of...
Dear Diary,
I just had, like, the worst dream ever. Worse than the one where I’d lost my fortune and was living on the street, even.
It started with that old lady I passed on the street the other day. She was no different from all the homeless I pass by every day on my way to all the important places I go to. At least I didn’t think so…
The traffic signal had turned red so I was waiting to cro...
Not really used to writing in first person, so i hope it’s okay.

Nightmare after nightmare, I don’t want to sleep anymore. I’m awake, but my body is stiff and unmoving. I want to lie there, but I can’t, and I have a headache. Each limb moves individually, a second at a time, lifting my body out of bed and into the dark bathroom.
Cold tile meets my feet, what was my dre...
Her eyes fluttered open suddenly, her heart was racing and she felt the body drenched in sweat. She threw her legs over the side of the bed and headed into the bathroom to wash her face. She thought to herself about what a frightening nightmare she had just had. She could only remember bits and pieces of it, every thing was turning into a blur the more she woke up. Reaching towards the faucet her ...
I woke up gasping. I will not relate the terrible thing I was doing in my dream; I don’t want to give the impression that I might do such a thing in real life. I don’t even know what brought on such a nightmare!
The sun hadn’t risen yet. I checked the clock on my phone.
4:45 am.
I must have fallen asleep with my mouth open, because my breath stunk. I couldn’t go back to sleep after that nig...
She didn’t realize there was alcohol in the punch till her friend told her. By then she could hardly stand. Eversor had to help her walk. They had been there for hours. He said goodbye to her friend for her before trying to coax her into leaving. He wasn’t upset at her at all, but he was having a hard time keeping himself from smiling or even laughing. Even though she was drunk she was smiling and...
