Jody's white-knuckled grip on the wheel screamed rage, but I was past caring. My own fury, my own gnawing need, drowned out any sympathy I had left for him.

"Christal, I can't do this anymore!" he roared, veins pulsing in his neck. "Rehab or we're done. I can't afford your habit."

A harsh, bitter laugh escaped me. "You're kidding, right? This is your mess! You started me on this shit!" My voice ...

It was the only way. It truly was.

I’m caked in blood and need to get out of here before another car passes through. Trust me when I say that it could have been much worse. This was the best case scenario for everyone involved.

How did I end up here? Let me take you back to the start. It was those damn demons! They found me lurking in the woods and drained me of my blood and lef...

The ornate cornucopia in her mouth, almost too red to eat.

"Eat and live."

The young boy appeared on the scene, he had seen much death but not death like this.

"Get it out!

Go get water!

Get it out!

GET IT OUT!"

The young girl grabbed his hand and pulled him away.

"The water is over there, we have to get her out of this, help her!

Go to her!"

That's when he saw her.

His Mother, his beau...

Selina Kyle was a woman of many talents. How else would a girl survive the rough streets of Gotham? She was extremely intellectual, a master martial artist, a very good thief, and contender for prettiest woman on this side of the hemisphere. She would have to tip her hat to Diana and Pamela for being the strong competition they were.

But her strongest asset was her eye for opportunity. And she ne...

Rachel raised her head just enough to peek through the bookstore window. It wasn't hard to spot the hulking figures across the street, pacing the sidewalk with their beady eyes darting all over the crowd of tourists with cameras and office people on lunch break. Even in their human form, those two were tall enough that the cars speeding past on the road didn't even break Rachel's view of them.

Judas lived among the disciples of Jesus. He followed Jesus then the devil came upon him and gave him the desire to be rich.

One night he ran into some church leaders. They said,” Judas we’ll give you thirty pieces of silver if you point Jesus out to us.”

Judas said, “Wow! Sure. I’ll show him to you by giving him a kiss on Friday evening after my supper with Jesus.”

The disciples met with Jes...

My eyes fix on the stage as I watch the gorgeous ballerina in pale blue tulle twirl and soar across its surface. Serena, with her tight red curls secured in a bun and her tall lithe figure practically made for ballet, is the epitome of perfection.

I stare longer, mesmerized by the way her body coils and springs as she glides across the stage. Though there is a male dancer alongside her, he pales ...

Pulling shards of glass out of her hair, Clover gazed thoughtfully at the carnage around her. Puddles of various mixtures were all across the floor, two of the twenty-four students who’d come in were out cold, seven were bleeding, one girl was crying and bore a nasty burn from one or other of those very puddles, and the remaining seven were either just very shaken or slightly bruised.

But Mallory...

The man people called hero loved everyone and everything . He had one fault though , he loved donuts . He would always run and climb highest heights and fight anyone who hurt the innocent but the donuts weren’t going easy on him so he’d wake up every morning and would go to the coffee shop. He always got the black coffee with nothing added and only one pack of sugar . He knew he couldn’t pass up a...

Everything began to slow, my thoughts numbing from the realization of what was occurring. Whether from its atrocity or that I was its architect I’m still unsure. My mind drifted to the crows, gently gliding through the night sky catching the breeze from the 8 o’clock train as it made its way over streets below. They flew without care for what was beneath them, unfazed as they make their way forwar...
