The Rising Sun

Stephanie sat at the controls looking out into the infinite darkness. It was a world she had always know but never felt comfortable in. Her eyes had long adjusted to the darkness as well as the eyes of the rest of her people but she always felt that something was not right about so little light on her planet....

The Last Light

The sound of the sirens made Rune’s stomach churn. The overhead lights flickered one last time before plunging the underground city into darkness, and she knew this would be the night thousands would die.

The man beside her cussed under his breath. He turned toward Rune, his eyes wild and terrified. “Please! You’re the only one who can get her out.”

His hand curled around Rune’s arm. She...

stories i tell the moon

Blue moon, up on high

Aloft amidst a midnight sky

So high up, I wonder why:

Can you hear me when I cry?


Fairest Lady Luna, I weep when you vanish - gone behind the clouds

waiting ever silently; a widow behind a shroud.


Oh, Moon Maiden, clad in white.

Who shines so brilliantly, if only at night.

Carried, buoyant, among the stars.

Do you feel my broken heart?


Oh, Jade Rabbit, if you please?

When The World Went Dark

Riley woke up to the sight of a rifle, its cold metal glinting in the dim morning light. His dad stood at the foot of his bed, expression as hard as the gun he held. He tossed Riley the rifle, followed by a box of bullets that landed with a heavy thud on the blanket.


“Go out and kill something.” He said, then turned and left the room without another word.


There would be no cake, no presents, no...

Creatures Deep

A great, metal, yellow submarine plunges into the darkness, falling like a penny in a well.


A submarine— an aimless, lumbering being, with little pale creatures inside it. It knew not how to take the currents at advantage, nor how to feel through the murk. It was foreign, and it was the exact opposite of a fish out of water.


Squids and fish and sharks hurry by, curious but protective of their ...

Realities Nightmare

Blood. Screams. Terror. While the darkening forces invaded the world, seeping through soul to soul as if a sickening disease was spreading. Nightmares of which only existed in the mind dripped violently down our skulls. Drip. Drip. Drip. As the dark storm brews around us, the roaring wind harshly slapping the faces of innocents, the bullets rapidly pummeling towards others, the sick hands invading...

A Taste Of Light

**In their world of almost complete darkness, the creatures know not in the power of true light energy. For none of those who dwell here have seen anything brighter than the brilliant glow of bitter mushrooms that trive in the dark. Knowledge of the light has long been lost to the small folk that call this place home. The teachers now speak only in tales of old, speaking unknown truths in the form...

Colorado

In a world perpetually cloaked in darkness, life had adapted to the omnipresent shadow. This world, called Tenebrae, knew light only as a fleeting memory, a legend whispered among the elders. The skies were a thick, inky black, and the sun was but a dim ghost, barely illuminating the ground. The moon and stars were long forgotten myths.


In the heart of Tenebrae stood the city of Lumora, a bastion...

Red Light

The world was dark full of dust like a old picture left hanging, forgoten. With the world in darkness crime was also through the roof, threatening everyone who made the wrong move.

There were people still in power. Other then the government and mob, there were still BulbRed.

————————————-Pupper POV————————

The lights are still counteracting each other, but the smells of fear were growing. The so...

(Tess)


Life has its own problems.


Its own numbers of distress, and darkness.


I am an Athiest.


Nothings been good for me.


I've been in a hole since 6.


A dark one that covers me whole.


Everything negative falls down the hole.


Making it darker and dar...
