Fog envelops me as the sultry scent of sorrow bitterness fills my nostrils. The crunch of dead leaves underneath my boots attacked my heart as I slowly ascended upon the hill, revealing a tall tower. Dark and all-knowing. Cursed.

I pushed my apprehension aside, forcing my limbs to move. I pulled my cloak around me tighter, masking my face in shadows.

The building only spoken of in lullabies, on...

Their manic eyes lock onto one another. His swirling with anger, hers with strength.

Darcella forced herself to not look away from him, there was nowhere to go. She knew if even the slightest bit of fear slipped through the cracks, he’d attack. For the fact she valued her life, she could not let that happen.

Pinocchio’s limbs clatter together as he free falls through the tree branches. He lands with a short grunt, rubbing at his wooden arms and legs.

But, to his surprise, his limbs weren’t wooden after all. Well, they were. But they didn’t look wooden. They looked… normal.

He jumps up in excitement, growing antsy at his new profound limbs. He only wanted to become a real boy—earn humanity through g...

Darcella’s forearms drag themselves along the splinters atop the fence as she stands on her very tippy-toes to match the height of her father. She stands at the very edge of the chair, feeling her body shiver upon the cold, brewing rain that graced her face.

Darcella knew it was doomed sinc...

I do not let the anxiety of multiple pairs of eyes staring wreck me.

I am the invisible man.

Sure, I could fight crime and fly. But, I was known for being invisible. All the time.

Being invisible had it’s perks—eavesdropping, spying, staring. All done effortlessly. I was the town’s superhero.

But, what I wasn’t informed of when becoming the unsaid superhero, was the pure torture that dragged me down with it.

Her stance is strong, firm. She stands against the w...

Darcella’s pale skin begins to crack as she collapses to her knees. Every flaw, every error being uncovered and splayed out before him.

Her joints ache in pain. She digs her palms into her eyes, begging for the pain to rid itself but it never did. Her heart weigh heavy in her chest, as if it held the whole world inside. She couldn’t bear to look at him. Her breathing began to grow rapid—her anxi...
