Keeping her eyes aimed straight in front of her, the gray, authoritative door kept getting bigger, more intimidating, along with the voice in her head calling her a piece of shit....
My name is Anna and I’ve had a pretty harsh life, abused by my family, had a lot of my friends die. You know the usual jazz and all that. But everything changed when I got my power, in the middle of a fight with 7 guys that wanted to take revenge on me. I activated my power and killed them all in a flash. Oh silly me I forgot to tell you what my power is. My power is water control and mine is more...
The sharp crack of gunfire and distant screams reverberated through the empty halls, sent a chill down my spine. I ignore it and continued to press deeper into the corridor, moving toward the elevator. The horrifying sounds slowly subsided as I walked further down the hall. I casted one last wary glance back at the door I had just passed through hoping I wasn’t followed. Thankfully relieved to...

Corporate America can be the realm of opportunity but it takes just one misfired conversation to pac...
As I took a deep breath to steady my nerves, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions as I headed towards the door at the end of the long corridor. Today was my first day of secondary school, and I couldn't believe how quickly the summer had gone by. The sun was shining through the windows, casting bright rays of light onto the cold, tiled floor. I could hear the chatter and laughter of my new c...
As the elevator opens, I watch the smartly dressed passengers walk past me. I get on and push the eleventh floor. I really want to take a deep breath, but I’m not sure about how my breath smells, and I don’t have mints. Great, now I’m sweating. The elevator stops at four, five, seven, nine, then eleven. Stepping out, I try to find the directory in the floor lobby. There it is: Jenkins and Associat...
I’ve never made it this far. Every other time I find myself halfway down the hall and then I wake up. I know there’s a secret in here, something that I’ve forgotten that will change my life.
I approach the door and slow down. The lights are flickering and I hear a deep thrumming behind the door, as if I were being greeted by the building, by the space behind the door.

They said forever. I guess forever meant six years.

I narrate in my head as if I'm some sort of reality tv host.
Then my mind does a little "Click" situation and rewinds back to the moment when everything changed.

It seems like this hallway is eternities long. Eggshell white paint is falling off in tiny pieces at the baseboards. The bright fluorescent lights immediately gather the last bit of energy I have in me. The tiles have the same pattern and color of one of my high school classrooms, where I was so in my mind that all I could do was stare at the floor and disassociate from reality.

[Short Story]
⚠️Gore⚠️
I stumble desperately through the solitary corridor. Wet, warm blood dripping from just about every inch of my body. I was being chased, by something. Someone.
Every shaky breath I took felt like my last as my blood spilled across the marble hallway in random assortments, surely leading whoever had stabbed me to my location. It all happened too fast for me to recall. Wh...
