I woke up and ran downstairs to the broun cabnit and frabbed the last strabery pop tart. I had been waiting all night for this pop tart even dreaming about it but enough time has been wasted i will eat the pop tart.

I opend the shiny but crinkley rapper and took the strawberry poptart out and it was inches frome my mouth when my brother came running in with the dog and shoved int me and my poptar...

She’s always strived for perfection. Turning in assignments over and over again until she gets a perfect score. Good enough is never good enough.

Her social life dwindles until it is Jin existent because no relationship will ever be perfect. Nothing is like it is in the movies. No best friends since kindergarten. No small town where everyone knows everyone.

No. She’s worked her whole life for ...

"She's not who she says she is."

The thought looped endlessly through Clarine's mind as she pushed open the heavy library doors. Her steps were cautious, each one carrying her deeper into the familiar but somehow strange place. The library was quiet, like always. The only sound was the hum of a laptop from the far corner, where Pherona sat at her cluttered desk.

Pherona, the enigmatic owner, was...

Laura purses her lips, tilts her head up and takes a long, deep breath. The sea of smiling familiar faces does nothing to calm her nerves. It seems like time stands still in that moment. Any minute now, James will walk through the door. She just has to hold on for a little while longer.

A loud creak starts from the back of the room as the heavy oak door is opened. Every head is eagerly turned to...

Under her covers, she’s someone else. She’s not who they all think she is, she’s not who everyone sees her as.

She calls herself a girl who doesn’t care about people’s opinions all that much, she calls herself confident, fun, cheerful, pretty.

And that’s how they all see her, of course it is. She must be afraid to find out how they’ll see her, when the covers are pulled off.. when they get past...

I sit on my grimy couch while Mother starts the stove in the kitchen. Our only small tv sits in front of me and my twin, Marie. It’s been 2 years since we’ve been locked in our homes, the only people allowed outside are the workers for the government. No one really knows why we’ve been trapped. Perhaps it’s a sickness. Or maybe a war going on with another nation.

I glance over to my left to see ...

There was a girl who appeared to always follow the rules, at least to everyone's knowledge. She was attentive in school, never involved in conflicts, and obedient to her teachers. However, her twin sister was the sole individual aware of the truth about her. She kept silent, unwilling to land her twin in trouble by revealing her real nature.

At 6 am, Aki rose from her bed, glancing over at her st...

She’s not who she says she is……

Perhaps she’s a neighbor or old friend….

Perhaps she’s an old romantic dead end….

Perhaps she’s a savior to to the end…..

Or perhaps I just prefer to pretend……

Oh, these thoughts cease to end…..

Where to begin……

Let the cops handle next of kin…….

Her blood is on my shoe again……

Another Jane doe slain at the inn…..

She’s not who she says she is…….....

The sound of silverware hitting against a plate could be heard as both me and Lauren ate our dinner in silence. The atmosphere that surrounded us was thick, leaving me to believe that she had either found out about my private meeting or she just so happend to be caught up in secrets of her own.

Either way, I was over it, my only issue was that I didn’t know how to approach the situation or the w...

I took a moment to gather my thoughts as I looked through the pictures. It was taking everything in me not to snap at the woman who sat on the opposite side of the diner table. Shit, I needed a damn drink.

“Look, you hired me to do the job and I did just th—.”

“Don’t, just don’t.” I stated simply, cutting the private investigator off mid-sentence.

The pictures that were spreaded out before me...
