Freak bob,
Freak bob ,
What would you do?
I asked him
From my side of this modern day communication called “calling”
Always got my back
Always got stacks
And racks to hang up my freshly pressed suit
He picked up.
He’s a real one
Not one to steal from
Cause our friendship is precious
Always has freshness
It’ll never go stale

I know that face so well
I think I could draw it from memory
You look at me with a pause
Probably just shock
As if you’ve been punched in the gut

The plesantries are made
The how are you’s
The casual I’m good’s

Elena had always been drawn to the lighthouse. Perched on the edge of the rocky coastline, its beam cut through the thick fog that often enveloped the small seaside town of Crestwick. Her grandfather, a stoic man with eyes that had seen too much, had been the lighthouse keeper for over forty years. Now, with his health failing, he had asked Elena to take on his duties.

The two friends, walking around town, did not plan for their night to end like this. They had originally been with their friend group, going around town and finding places to have fun in. The start of their night was incredible, the end… almost tragic.
It all went down hill, at the arcade.
“Lisa! Anna! Let’s keep moving, there’s more than one game here!”
A boy name,...
I strapped another knife to my leg and made sure other weapons were hidden away.
I didn’t know why I was so nervous. Not nervous, just apprehensive.
I had taken over many kingdoms only to replace the monarch with a better and create alliances that kept peace.
But as I looked at my brother, I felt guilty for attacking.
Don’t get me wrong, this kingdom was incredibly chaotic. But it was also Jacob’s...
„Naomi von Chronos, ich betraue dich mit der Aufgabe, Maximilian von Cerra aus dem Gefängnis in der Wüste zu befreien und ihn zu mir zurück zu bringen. Es war ein Fehler, dass ich ihn einsperren ließ. Ich muss unter einem Zauber gestanden haben, als ich dachte, dass er mich hintergehen und den Thron für sich selbst möchte. Dieser Gedanke ist genau so abwegig, wie der, dass ich euch Damen das beste...
I shove my stuff in my bag. I can hardly see what I’m packing, but it doesn’t matter. My tears finally spill, silently dripping onto my wrinkled clothes.
I won’t be able to say goodbye. I’ll leave them and never see them again.
I glimpse myself in the mirror, red face and all. My cheeks are stained with tears, and my hair is sticking to my face.
