_They’ve been murdered, of course, but by whom?_
_Some say it’s God, making them pay for their crimes._
_But some are innocent!_
_For now! Maybe God sent his angels to kill them off?_
_Angels wouldn’t kill in such a bloodly way._

There’s a rumor going round that the king got replaced. The guy we see on TV is too tall. They never show his eyes close up, which is how you can tell when they’re wearing a hyper realistic mask- it sags at the eyes. His voice is wrong, too, a little high pitched and goofy, like an imitation of how he used to sound.
I heard it from one of the palace guards, who sees him all almost every day. Those...

And summon forth her hellish flames
They told her
To leave us alone
They told her to go ba...
One drop
It’s always one drop
It makes mistakes on the paper
The ink spreads
And I spread with it
No…
I’m so kind and good
What did I DO to deserve any of this?
People are always so evil
They hurt you just because they can
I can hurt myself
But they hurt me even more
More and more…
The hole stays forever
Until too many holes exist and I won’t be able to stay whole again
I’ll crumble to the groun...

(This is an old story that someone told me when I was little. I’m sure some of you have heard it. Also keep in mind that I don’t remember exactly how the story went, so I’ll be making up little things. But overall I know how it goes.)

Sitting in the stall of the 3rd floor toilets Abby clutched her knees to her chest. The checkered tiles amusing her as she rock back and forth whilst sitting on the closed toilet. Her demeanor you would think the girl was having some horrible breakdown, but she remain noiseless, allowing herself to breathe every 30 seconds. Fixing her auburn hair out of her face as she checked her petite pastel pi...
