Chains (Despair)

2 min read

When I first met you, it didn’t take long to fall. Your dark hair and eyes drew me in at the beginning, but once you actually spoke to me, I knew that was it.

Not long after that, we were together all the time and you were as good as gold. But with more time, little pieces of the mask you wore began to fall away, and beneath it existed a deep darkness.

I only noticed it when it was too late, m...

Colors Of The Night

The sky overhead was a deep shade of indigo flecked with a brilliant array of twinkling stars. When the cloaked man looked to the far edge of the sky, his features became illuminated with a glow from the crescent moon. A shroud of darkness engulfed the land as wispy clouds passed over the source of bright light, only to clear once more. He turned and looked to the horizon behind him, taking in the...

I feel myself drifting away peacefully, and then all I can hear is noise. The static sound creeps into my mind, invisible to my ears, but still somehow heard. I can’t sleep....

The First Time I Saw You

1 min read

It was late in the evening and I had a stomach ache. But it wasn’t a normal stomach ache, it was the kind that wrenched my insides as if something were being wrung out like a wet towel. The pain was overwhelming, but I swore and clenched my fists in the bedsheets. It went on for hours before I felt something start to change; I listened to what my body was telling me, screaming, and then you were h...

None Of Your Business

I was driving along a winding road lined with trees, admiring their fall colors when I noticed a hooded man walking with his thumb up — the universal signal that said: “I need a ride”.

I pulled the car over just a short distance in front of the man, watching him in the rear-view mirror as he approached. I turned to look at him as he reached the already rolled down passenger side window.

“Hi th...

The Sun and The Moon

The sun’s rays shone brightly down onto the Earth below him. Lately, he had heard the whispers from Earth’s brothers and sisters — he was not the only one casting light upon Earth. He looked to the far side of the land and caught a glimpse of a pale body, smaller than his own, barely illuminated.

“How beautiful,” The deep rumbling voice of the sun boomed. The day stretched further, reaching its...

The Tent of the Fortune Teller (V.2)

It was a damp evening after the rain had fallen all morning, colorful leaves danced along the ground in a slight breeze. The Harvest celebration was my favorite event of the season, bringing with it various comfort foods and a large scale corn maze.

As I walked along the dirt path past a barn decorated with hay bales and speckled gourds, I could see smoke spiraling above what appeared to be a yu...

Something You Shouldn’t Forget

1 min read

Tara listened as the director of the company rambled on about the new policies they were putting into place, half-heartedly taking notes on her tablet. This was not how she would’ve preferred to spend a Saturday afternoon. She began to daydream after everyone stopped talking, their hands busy writing down ideas.

‘What should I make for dinner tonight?’ Tara thought to herself.

‘Steak? Chicken?...

The Author

1 min read

Legend has it that The Author can make you vanish, just like someone rubbing an eraser against pencil writing. Others say it can make people forget who they are, and become someone else entirely. The Author is like a god of sorts, doing as they please with little regard for peoples’ lives. They can cause pain, happiness, sadness, you name it. Perhaps that’s what makes it so fearsome - the not know...

Space Traitor

“Sometimes the only way to really forget everything is to go to sleep.” The corrupt major said with a sinister smile. He pressed a button on a panel next to where a lieutenant stood inside a capsule, forcing him into cryosleep.

“Nighty-night, Johnny.” Major Ericsson waved in amusement, lighting the cigar that hung from his lips. He blew a cloud of smoke against the glass in front of Johnny’s fro...
