The Heat Of The Day

J.R. Watson

1 min read

Day is hot,

Night is cold.

As the sun rises, we biol,

As it sets, we freeze.


There is no shelter,

There is no warmth.

Not a moment of safe will we get,

Every second filled with danger.


They heat of the day may kill us,

But so will the cold of the night.

I tell you, friend, I always fear,

Except when it’s dusk and dawn.


My home is trying to kill me,

But I cannot leave all I know.

As much as I ha...

I stepped forwards, a pathetic sword in my hand and no armour whatsoever. My opponent, however, was coated in heavy, iron armour with a sword of the strongest metal with a blade so sharp it could cut through rock.

As king I have an important role to play.

I don’t know who might betray me.


One mistake and I could put my entire kingdom at risk.


It’s like playing chess, knowing that whatever move you make your opponent might use that against you.

I’m the king but it’s not just me t...

Amy and Ronald were both in their thirties and liked to travel. Amy lives in London and Ronald lives in Washington DC. They don’t have much in common, but somehow over the last ten years every time they go on holiday - no matter where or when - they always bump into each other.


The first few times they just laughed, h...

Shadow Warrior

He didn’t know the shadows were about to overtake him, I mean, who was to tell him what happens when you get caught in the darkness, anyone who had turned to the dark side long ago.


Edward was terrified. He was only ten after all. Life had been very unkind to him in the first place - little food, no friends and the constant fear of war breaking out between the light and the dark - but now he was ...

“None of your business! I’ve got your payment, now help me!” I snap.

Sine Nomine pulls the dagger out the bag, he had been waiting on this being returned to him for a very long time.

“Fine! I’ll give you the spell.” He says.

“WHAT! That wasn’t the deal! I get you the dagger and YOU cast the spell! I’m not even a witch so how could I do it!?”

I can’t believe this! I got him what I knew he would wan...
