Detour (Save Our Souls)

CSW

The storm that the news had warned about raged on around the school. Hail pelting the roof and thunder making it almost impossible to listen to the teachers. The sky was pitch black, the trees in front of the school only visible during the brief flashes of lightning. The wind screamed through the vents around the school. 


“This is getting ridiculous,” Cordelia says to Sacha during lunch, “I know ...

I’ll Be Your Atlas

Diana had always been a little bit different. Her body was more flexible than most, her bones stronger. She dislocated shoulders and ankles and fingers all the time but it rarely hurt. She could fit into spaces people smaller than her never could. Diana isn’t small either. She is 5’9” and has about 130 lbs of mostly muscle.


Her mother put her in gymnastics when she was young. Competitions were j...

And The Silence Will Echo

CSW

1 min read

It was loud

Louder than anything heard before

It seemed to echo all around

From the city streets it tore


Louder than the loudest of concerts

Louder than the looks traded back and forth

The shadows had the highest honors

It protected even those with no worth


Language was spoken only through hands

Not a whisper or scream could be heard

Neither a storm screaming across sands

Every movenment had bee...

The Silence Eats Away

CSW

1 min read

As the shadows fell,

A monster was born.

It ate away,

The sounds of storms.

Slowly it found,

Even the mourned.

Silence covered all,

The tattered and torn.

It chewed through the sounds,

Of a day forlorned.

It still searched the woods,

For something more.


As the shadows fell,

It found laughter and leers.

It ate away,

All of the years.

Slowly it found,

Every last tear

Silence covered all,

The faith...

The Fear Of Being Seen

CSW

1 min read

“What are you so scared of?!”


“Being found!” She looked shocked at her own words, but it soon turned to resignation, “I’m scared of being found. Happy?”


‘No!’ He wanted to yell, scream, ‘No, that doesn’t make me happy! How could it!?’ But he doesn’t. Instead, all he can do is let out a shaky breath.


(Could be about a couple, siblings, friends, a Guardian angel, even a therapist.)...

And The Sun Finally Rose

“Four twenty eight,” I glared at the white ceiling of my room, “In the morning.”


“Every. Single. Freaking. Morning.”


I am 50 shades of done with whoever kept calling me at 4:28 am everyday. That was a whole half hour of sleep I keep missing out on getting. A whole half hour! At first, I had tried to block the number, the call did come on my cell after all. But, it just didn’t work. Then, I place...
