The thing you don’t get used to, however, is the sickening smell that emanates from the drain pipes; procured to keep the sea life alive for the sleazy bars and diners to hunt and serve. Half their customers become violently ill or die of food poisoning, the pollution from the city rising straight to the ocean’s waves an...

The so called “peaceful protests” has really messed this city up. People are moving out in droves. The businesses are closing and relocating to safer places.

The students that still live here are all homeschooled so the public schools went out of business. The mayor is working on his resume and looking for a remote job so he doesn’t have to leave his apartment.

The few restaurants that have surviv...

Dragons weren’t commonplace in Lavisar, even if it was a fire-dominated city. Misty knew they were the standard delivery method for letters, but to see two of them bringing her aevus acceptance letter instead of the typical lone one…

Joanie lived in the suburbs of Fridaytown and had a goal of seeing a 3D movie. She researched the cost, but she didn’t have a job. Her aunt helped her collect aluminum cans. They took the cans to exchange them for coins and saved for three months.

"Balki, what did I tell you about running on the furniture?"

Balki nearly slammed to a stop at the counter. "Not to do that?" Larry nodded. "But, Cousin, look what come in the mail." He plopped down a plain envelope with only his name written on it and a re...

“People say that my city is strange. I agree with them. We don’t do thing like other people. We all are a little crazy, and don’t liked to be touched. We don’t get along I don’t know why we don’t get along even though we have a lot in common. Some of them started to move out I miss them our city is not the same without them”. “That’s what she wrote before she died she seemed to be doing better. Th...

It all started one night, I was just watching tv when all of a sudden the lights started to flicker. Then my tv started to go black. Then I passed out, the next thing I knew I woke up in a strange place. Where you ask the a little town know as Beacon Hills. I ...

Violet sits at her breakfast table with a bowl of cereal in front of her, willing herself to eat even though she isn’t hungry. She has work in an hour.

Everything is the same, but different. She can’t quite put her finger on what’s wrong, are the colors too vibrant? Not enough? Is she over reacting? Paranoid? This is her house, her street, her neighborhood, her town, but it’s not. She can’t put ...

He fiddled with his key for a few minutes, finally unlocked the door and dragged himself to the sofa. He was exhausted as hell.

“Sarah, what’s for dinner tonight? I will not be having any”

“Good evening Tim, as per the dinner rota, sausage and mash with peas was prepared but I will keep them in the fridge for tomorrow. “
