"Woooah!" the muffled voice came from under the trach bag. I turned from the body I was wrapping up in cheap plastic, and towards it's friend. "Is this trash bag lemon scented? Good choice..." They must be getting loopy from hypoxia or something, but I feel myself blush at the compliment as I toss the corpse down the quarry and watch it bounce off the steep sloping walls while watching them. I spo...

Dix was always there as an extension of me. Always in the background, until I shared something with him that made us smile and rip off our filters. My family understood our relationship, he was my younger brother who was actually older than me. After all, almost everyone in our family had an opposite gender best friend. I had Dix, and he had me. It was as simple as that. We had met in high school,...

Click! the camera flashed and Jack looked up from the scenery displayed on the cable bridge. Abby turned to the sunset and snapped a picture. Jack leaned in, trying to see the picture. She let out a small shout at Jack as he startled her by his sudden approach. He was swatted at with a calm face.

'I can't see there anymore,' Abby said sadly upon her realization. Jack looked up from the camera he ...

The chalk swipes away. It's stale exterior making a harsh screech as it was brought down across the board. I look at the small cascade of chalk crumbs falling; some stayed ...

The courtroom glimmered as King Arij held his goblet above the throng of guests. A few hoots and loud laughter continued; the king cleared his throat. The guards moved readily, their spears emitting jangles as the cords of gold and rubies hanging on the spearheads swung to and from their spears as they wavered. The room was hushed. Arij smirked, cleared his throat again, and continued,

Every year, as best friends, Mitch and Hazel gathered. Today was the day again. The same room and box. Smiles as they laughed and shrieked as things came out of the box, reminding them of Hazel's stupid exes, practically walking red flags. A couple of things came out once in a while, and she would look mournfully at them, then continue giggling with Mitch as sparkly bows or tacky rings came out.

Everything seemed to slow down as the flashlight's beam searched through the foggy water. Pieces of bobbing glacial ice broached the surface, then dipped out of sight, only to reflect the beam's light again as they resurfaced. The beam wavered up and down as the owner strode to the further corner, his footsteps producing a thud as leather and metal came into contact.

"You know why they call it a love triangle?"

"Why?"

She asked as his hand ruffled her tangled
