Rescue Call

Gabs😜

2 min read

“If anyone needs help, my number will be posted. I’m only a call away!”

My english teacher would repeat this like a mantra at the end of every class as students urgently poured out of the room like a school of fish. I can only hope he means it now in a world where, ever since that fateful news broadcast, cruelty has become the norm.

“Come on! Come on, Mr. Green! Pick up!”

The ringing is loud, ...

When You Rescue The Wrong Princess

Gabs😜

4 min read

I charge through the castle doors, preparing for the angry growls of the dragon, for the hellfire spat from its fanged mouth. With my blade thrusted forward, I aim where the beasts’s heart should be, where I should pierce through its coarse, layered scales. Fear eludes me, for I have challenged far more sinister enemies.

But my battle cry echoes, ricochets off the walls, reaches through the wind...

The Good From A Broken Compass

Gabs😜

1 min read

When the storm comes, my compass always points to you.

But the needle has been broken for years.

Even so, I still rely on it. When it points to any cardinal direction other than north, when it leads me astray. To far distant lands I will not yet know how to survive in. To allies who pull me from the waters, or adversaries who aim to plunge me deeper. I will never again have a fixed idea of wher...

Mercy Towards Love

“If only this world had shown everyone who lived in it a little more mercy…then maybe we could be together. Maybe we wouldn’t have to rely on the company of men to see each other.”

Away from the festivities, away from our stifling dates, we stumbled into the garden. Our academy’s colors bloomed in the red and white roses flourishing together in harmony, rows interchanging. The edges of the gravel...

Diamonds are beautiful, but they are also stronger than anyone can anticipate.

I was taught this in school, but I relearn it as I watch my best friend bleed out in my arms.

The arrowhead was aimed at me. Its purpose was to end my life slowly, painfully. Cara took my place is one foul swoop, giving the perpetrator a bullet to the brain with her revolver before letting herself be punctured. The w...

Aphrodite’s Trick

Aphrodite tortures me

When I collapsed

On my knees at her altar

Offered her all my gold

And pleaded for her divine power

This isn’t what I asked for

I did not want the turmoil

Of a choice

I wanted to be loved again

Yet here I am, watching my two best friends

Turn from companions to sudden rivals

Ravaging each other with hatred

Ripping at tendons and bones with frustration

Killling each othe...

A Rebel Of Night

Gabs😜

1 min read

I’ve always been one of the many servants of the night. Even as I migrate, I hunt only amidst the dark. Whatever forest I am in, I take what my talons can grasp and feast into the flesh and bones of my prey. And I delight in it while doing so.

Yet sometimes, I find my desires reaching for what lies when the light comes. This longing pulls me by the feathers towards the horizon, and just as I catc...

A Special Guest

All of my friends are gone. Their ringing laughter has come to an abrupt stop, and it was only when I reached for the cream that I realize this.

But a different presence fills the gaps in their absence. I can sense this person, whoever they may be, has a sinister goal in mind, or a grave need. So I drag my preparations. I let myself take a few seconds longer go pull out the sugar, the macaroons,...

A Suspicious Death

“Where shall we keep the body?”

My body freezes to a halt just behind a corner. When a long pause follows from the chapel, I pray I am not known.

“He does not deserve a traditional burial.

His body shall be placed in a glass coffin, where every part of him is seen.”

I peek around the walls to find Father Marcus’s face as hard as stone. Why is their disdain in his voice? What did my husband do...

A Change Of Plans

The dress fits me perfectly. It’s in my favorite color, and my blonde hair matches with the baby blue fabric. My makeup is minimal. Just one layer of lipgloss.

I should feel beautiful. Powerful even. But I don’t.

“Penny, it’s almost time to go!” From downstairs, my mother’s voice grows with impatience. The heel of her boot taps against the floor, punctuating her need for us to leave as soon as ...
