The infinity of a rivers flow

Belies a bed of ancient stones shaping the current

The sound it upholds

The drift of wood

That once held a meadowlarks home

A perpetual story being told

Held by water

the nearest thing

I have to home...

It had been fifteen years since the sun had last risen. I don’t really remember the last time when I or my family was happy.

It felt, to me, that time stood still…that the Earth stopped moving. But it didn’t, life went on. Eventually some family moved away where the sun still shined for them. I couldn’t believe they decided to forget and run off.

Christmas isn’t as magical, Thanksgiving is quiet...

It had been fifteen years since the sun had last risen. It’s been fourteen years since the madness of this sun forsaken town started. On June 28, 8193 was the first morning the sun didn’t come up, for six months we kept hope, hope that light would come again. Then January came round and any hope we had was lost, the Town Elders declared we should adapt, and adapt we did, we brought I lights to amp...

It has been nearly two decades since the sun had last risen. Two decades since the Moon Queen claimed our planet as her own and shed her light on our homes. She destroyed the Sun Kingdom like it was an ant hill, banishing warmth forever.

Today marks eighteen years. Of what, I’m not really sure. To the Moon Queen and her people, it means a successful eighteen years of another planet conquered. To...

It had been 15 years since the sun had last risen. Summer was a as cold as winter. Yet, it was not as cold as humanity’s future.

Ever since that day, the people of earth had been living with the lights off. The evil people no longer worked in the shadows, because one large shadow had consumed the earth.

15 years ago, Nimue Kratos made a deal with the moon god. Before that deal, her name was Al...

It has been 15 years since the sun has last risen. The world has fallen into total darkness. It all started in 2025. The world had decided to harness the energy of the sun by connecting it to a device that drains all the power from it. It worked well for a couple years, the sun still thrived while we drew the energy out of it. That all changed in 2030, the sun started to stop glowing. There was s...

It has been fifteen years since the sun has last risen. People got used to living a life in darkness. In this short amount of time the human race has developed scotopic vision, the ability to see in the dark. Even though the world once held cities filled with dazzling lights, now no one even dares to hit a light switch. With their scotopic vision comes a price. The brightness of unnatural light ma...

It had been

Fifteen years

Since the sun

Had last risen

Age comes and goes;

but those moments in life

make it seem as if time

were just another part

of travesty.

I remember

the sadness

in her eyes

which were also

filled with rage

and acceptance

My reality

was shifted —

One mistake

Caused a difference

Between us

A blade’s dance

caused our deaths...

Candle 8:

For an hour, we visit rooms accessing materials we can use to survive. With the recent loss of two of our ‘family’, we haven’t been able to do much of anything. I can note the hurt in Warren’s eyes.

I finally break the silence, “You doi...

Candle 4:

Half-dozed, something touches me. I’m too melancholy and tired to turn over. The finger urgently presses my shoulder again. “What,” I whisper. I brush the cloudiness from my eyes.
