I catch the tiny powder sprinkling my mashed potatoes. I turn to my back to look at them.
One thing I know, never touch something you think has been touched. I know that they have been touched for sure.
I remain silent thinking of what to do. The only thing I can think of….. punching them....
The vial was red, the color of blood. The waiter that had taken my order had popped the cork and tipped it out of its container. It poured out fast.
The waiter then glided with much grace to the table. “Your salad m-ma’am.” I arched an eyebrow at him. I nodded. Thank you.
He turned to leave, almost with such haste that he should make me even more suspicious.
I stopped him. “I didn’t get the silver...
I’m twisting everything
I know I am
I know you telling me your single isn’t telling me you like me
But we talk for hours every night
We have the same taste, but still have differences to keep it interesting.
I’m twisting everything
I know us finally talking again with out the silence

I’m twisting everything
I’m not in a love triangle

“God damn it Gale we’ve been over this. If you want me to sleep with you just say something don’t go puttin weird drugs into my food.” Rolling my eyes I try to ignore all the strange looks I got from passersby’s. Gale looked at me both surprised and something else I couldn’t quite place, embarrassment maybe? I grab a new drink from a waiter walking around with a tray of champagne. I took a few sip...
I watch the waiter put something in my drink.
I figured that the rebellion would try something eventually, I’m the reason they exist. Their goal and motto is “Kill The Queen.” But I’m curious as to which kind of poison they chose to use.
Was it one that would kill me quickly? Or one that would make me feel their pain? Honestly, I’ve been waiting for this moment.
The waiter brings me the drink a...
Molly put the arsenic in my food when I was sitting down to eat; I saw it from the corner of my eye. I couldn’t blame her; I would want me gone, too. But of course, on the other end of things … I wasn’t too keen to see that happening. I wasn’t wrong; she hadn’t fumbled with the other guests’ plates like she had with mine.
“This looks delicious!” I said as she set the plate before me. Rich, red p...
„How are we going to survive this?“ I ask my brother. Her starts grinning. „I have an idea and our parents won’t like it“ „Now I’m curios. What do you have?” I ask quietly. He takes a quick look around. “Have you ever tried LSD?” I start grinning as well as I shake my head.
