Crystals floated around her and her skin sparkled in the light. I could see diamond tears covering her cheeks; she knew as well as I did that, we wouldn’t survive this. At least I had found her. She wandered too far on accident. But the entrance was blocked by rumbles of thick ice and snow. the only way out was up but no one would be coming back for us. We would die together. Without thinking, I w...

Crystals floated around her and her skin sparkled in the light. I could see diamond tears covering her cheeks; she knew as well as I did that we wouldn’t survive this. The refractions hadn’t been in our favour this time, nor the stars up in the sky that shine bright. There’s no hope in surviving a world that has been broken by chemicals in the atmosphere, turning everything to stone what it touche...

Crystals floated around her and her skin sparkled in the light. I could see the diamond tears covering her cheeks; she knew as well as I did that we wouldn't survive this. The refraction hadn't been in our favor this time. It's true great power comes with a cost, and this time it was becoming human jewels. When we first met I knew we were going to get into big trouble. Not just regular detention t...

I reached towards her.

"You know you won't be able to communicate with anyone through these walls."

She lets the crystals fall discarded at her side. A failed attempt to contact our team. The early collapse of the north wall leaves us trapped under the wreckage and running out of air. I know our team is looking for us. I know they're spending a large amount of our remaining resources looking for...

Time travel is a joke. Time is now and has always been a one-way street, a mighty torrent of eons and milliseconds barreling forward in one direction. To even think you can reverse time is horse feathers.

On the other hand light travel is a whole different bailiwick. Light bounces. It reflects and refracts and gets downright wibbly wobbly. And at some point, a really bright pointdexter figured o...

It was a risk we ran, mirror traveling throughout realm, yet up to this point, we always outran them. Although we'd never say it out loud, we thought we were invincible. Mission a...

Crystals floated around her and her skin sparkled in the night

Luminous, a beating beacon of energy, shining so bright

I could see the diamond teers, covering all of her cheeks

As I stood there, in disbelief, of her absolutely mindboggling and inexplicable mystique...

Shard flew everywhere, in slow motion it seemed. It was so much easier before. I wished she never had kids and I wish she was never with that guy, Samuel....

I reached up and wiped away her tears with a shaking smile, and I pushed away the pain in my lower abdomen where a dagger had pierced in through.

“Don’t cry,” I said softly as I brushed her brunette hair away and the thick forest around us darkened, and thunder in the sky. I knew it was Viola and Zae going at it.

She leaned into my hand and sobbed, but she did not dare touch me as her wings shi...

She offered me her hand and I took it without hesitation.

The diamond glass littered our bodies as we lay sprawled on the concrete.

Our blood flowing together into a nearby drain.

I should have done more, but I couldn’t protect her.

I couldn’t even protect myself.

How can I protect her from something I couldn’t see coming?

They say accidents happen, with the kind of flippancy we’re all just...
