Once there was an old woman who lived in a small cottage on the outskirts of a small town called Frostsville. The woman was well-liked and well-known for she made Christmas miracles and granted wishes.

The woman loved to grant wishes but she hated all of the attention it brought her. One year at Thanksgiving she made a vow to not grant a Christmas wish that year. Rumors spread amongst the townsp...

Hello to all of my followers. This is not going to follow the prompt. As you may have guessed by the title, this is an announcement about my new writing status. As you may know, a lot of my writings take place around Christmas. I’m informing you now that any writing between November 1st and New Year's will be Christmas-themed or related. Please do give me feedback on it.

I’d also like it to be pu...

I wonder how rumors are spread.

Does it start as a bad assumption?

Does it start as a joke?

Yeah, right.

It’s not a joke.

I didn’t mean to hurt her, either.

It’s not _my_ fault Ally Freedman’s a sensitive snob.

Well, I guess she’s Ally Rose now.

I didn’t even say she cheated.

I said the word, _unfaithful_, and left up for interpretation.

She’s the one who lied to _me_.

So all I did was...

_There’s a rumor going around, about those people who’ve died…._

_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._

_But the bodies!? Where did they go._

_Well, whatever’s going on, this isn’t the work of God or an...

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...

The party was on Sunday.

And the rumors started on Monday.

“I heard she told him no because she thinks she’s better than him.”

“Well, I heard that she came onto him and he said no.”

“I’ll do you one better, she drugged him by putting something in his drink, and even stole his phone.”

“Yeah, rumor has it, the phone is in her backpack right now.”

I felt the straps of my backpack snap befo...

“Did you hear yet?” Amanda leaned forward conspiratorially against the wall of my cubicle, coffee cup in hand. “They made their decision on the new director.”

I spun around at that, half written email forgotten on the screen behind me. “Who is it?”

“They haven’t announced it yet. But Kelly told me that in the morning meeting this morning Kruger let slip that they already decided.”

“God, I can’t...

They said

She had wings

They said she could fly

They promised that she

Had come to Earth from a demon’s side

They said she could kill

With a glance of ruby eyes

They said she could will

Endless darkness in our lives

They said she could smile

And make our blood boil in our veins

They said she could laugh

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...
