We’re done, that’s the last thing I ever heard from my girlfriend. I had lost everything, I had no friends or family my life sucked. If you’re anything like me you have nothing going for you. Let me explain how I got to be this way. It all started in middle school when I started playing on our football team…

I had just turned 12 and was finally looking forward to going to school. I had a crush on ...

“Do you know what happens to cheaters, Henry?!” Screamed Jack.

“I didn’t cheat,” said Henry, desperately trying to calm Jack down.

“Yes you did, when I went to get a drink!”

“Jack, slow down. We can talk about this.”

Jack slowly began to walk forward, Henry mirroring him backwards.

“Stop it Jack, stop!” Henry cried. Jack rushed forward and rugby tackled him to the ground, twisting his arm beh...

“Y..yes…!”

Duncan quickly swallowed any further words he was about to blurt out triumphantly. I have to stop, he said to himself, otherwise his younger brother would’ve started crying, yelling and screaming at him, he was such a bad loser. It was not worth egging him on as Daniel had a knack of making his older brother’s life miserable.

“Hey, well played.”

Duncan’s little brother fought back ...

“What on earth…?” I whispered, crouching next to the body. “And you have a new teammate now?”

“Yeah,” Lumen sighed. “Some strange girl with a mask. Seems pretty eager to play. How’d you do against your sister?”

“Tie. What did you expect? We have the same wings.”

“Mhm. Oh, hey, this is her! Music, meet…” He gestured wildly towards the door, and I turned to take a look at Sky’s opponent.

The mas...

What can you say? To your best friend. Ex-best friend. When they steal away from you everything.

Slamming closed the front door you storm down their garden path. Not looking back. Seeing their soulful eyes welling up with pain and confusion, left you physically hurting. You mustn’t give into the tug of regret. Don’t even imagine them sobbing, broken on the living room floor. You were supposed to...

‘Where’s that damn girl?!’

Hallow’s roars were unmistakable to the whining of a young child. Here he was, a small and puny man, with his impenetrable stare that never seemed to break, his ugly yellowed eyes that had dark moons under them from sleep deprivation, his stubby bald head, screaming once again over something that wasn’t his.

‘My lord, Hallow, would you keep — it — down!’ yelled a man fro...

It was one of those nights where there just wasn’t anything else to do. Larry and Balki sat at their kitchen table playing poker. Only a week before had Larry taught Balki how to play, but it was Larry who had won back Balki’s money. They played hand after hand with Larry winning every single hand.

Balki sighed. He had wanted to stop playing, but didn’t know how to tell Larry. Honestly, Balki th...

Krytotz looked up from his phone and narrowed his eyes at the woman before him. The room became so heavy with his magic a mortal could suffocate in it.

Meg looked up at him with an infuriating twinkle in her green eyes as a laugh escaped her lips.

“Who would have thought a thousand year old deity would be so bad at text-pool,”

Krytotz huffed an irritated sigh, “it’s because of this infernal ...

“For goodness sake, you just had all the good cards.” my father yelled, darting from the couch and shoving his cards to the table.

We had been playing our favourite card game for an hour and this was the first game I had won. We had played five.

“Well, can’t always be you, can it dad? You won four games.”

“And I deserved, I did a lot of math in my head to figure out which cards had come out and...
