Legends says that there was a enormous monster hidden inside the ocean, an old, enigmatic, and mysterious creature. People on the sea fear that the monster will attack them because of their terrifying appearance and their ability to make lethal strikes with their body on the ship. They hunted down the monster for centuries in order to make sure that they would not be attacked by the monster, but t...

By monsters great and monsters old

A pirates’ tale is ever told

For when men forget

The stories of yore

The beasts remember so much more

For the pirates seldom tell their side

Admitting defeat means losing pride

So independent

The sacrifice

Working alone you pay the price

Yo hoo vo-de-lie-oh

Nautical tales

Wherever the waves flow

Yo hoo vo-de-lie-dee

Choose the right path

Or get lost at sea

For...

It’s like I’m drowning.

I can’t seem to do anything right.

In everyone else’s eyes I may be a monster.

But to me,

I’m my hero.

I was the one who saved myself.

From drowning.

From hurt.

From letting everyone stomp all over me.

It may seem selfish,

but these days I only care about myself.

Because if I don’t,

I’ll start sinking all over again.

And I don’t know if I can save myself again....

A small dark figure dressed in robes climbed atop the cliff guarding my home. He summoned a dark power, wielding storms and treacherous waves.

I rose from the deep ocean to meet him and discern what cause had brought him to disrupt my peace. His bright red eyes flashed and a vicious smile curved his lips as he stared at something behind me. I turned to see my offspring poking his head cautiously...

So, I have this friend named Kyle. And everybody said that I was making him up because I said he had nine arms and was a thousand years old and that he didn’t want to come to school with me because he’s shy about not being able to read. But then, three of the big kids were like making fun of and they were like “Jimmy wets the bed.” But, I don’t. I don’t wet the bed. I havent wet the bed since like...

Once upon a time there was a monster city far away from humansbut one of the monster were curious about what beyond the city and that monster is a giant Godzilla but his mom said we don’t go beyond the city but then one night he left to see the world then he kept walking and walking and walking then he saw light that were colerful he walked to the light then people saw one giant monster the people...

I have never once before questioned my purpose. I am a keeper of the ocean and all its more vulnerable creatures. And man is a threat to them, to us.

I have seen firsthand the impact of man and his schemes. Black, shiny shadows that spill from their ships and suffocate whole ecosystems. Invisible plastic nets that kill for no purpose to be seen. Death waste that poses as food, the very things the...

I had heard the quiet whispered wishes for a friend, for someone to play with. A little boy laid in bed above me. After long last, I found a soul I could relate to, who was lonely such as I.

The young boy looked at me with curiosity dancing in his eyes. He’d most likely never laid eyes on a creature such as myself except in haunted nightmares. I crawled out from underneath his bed, slowly, regar...

(This is not really the prompt bit thought it would be fun!! Enjoy!)

I was known as the monster. I am the villain in every story. But I have saved that day more times than the hero has. I am also way better at it. I am much more power but no one looked at me like that. But here the difference between a hero and a villain.

A hero will sacrifice something they love you the world.

The hero will sac...

Death was inevitable.

The crackle of the radio came to life, burdening all who heard it to the news we had desperately hoped not to hear.

“Artillery launch preparations detected on your position, Commander. Air patrol cannot engage.”

In other words, we were doomed. No air defence, no surface-to-air missiles. Even if we survived the barrage, we were all on the cusp of survival.

No food. No wat...
