If only this world had shown a little more mercy, maybe she wouldn't have turned out to be the monster she had become.

Now she's finally seeing her efforts pay off, despite the years she had spent under the torture of the universe's whims, and she's going to soak that feeling in.

And Ivana is here to watch. The only soul that had gotten in her way of revenge, and she will be forced to watch as Ard...

I'd compare myself

to a diamond

in all its glory

not because it is beautiful

but because it is strong.

these glistening gems

appear fragile,

and may seem

like they would shatter

with a single touch

but really

they can withstand

far more

than anyone

gives them credit for.

when you look

at the surface of a diamond

you can't tell

what it's been through,

there's no tell

that it may have

gone throu...

Natalie whispers to me through the dark, soft voice waking me from my near-asleep state, "Hey."

I turn over in my sleeping bag, facing her invisible form shadowed by the night, "What?"

"Tell me something interesting."

"Like what?"

"Like... school drama. What's going on at your school?"

I search through my mind, struggling to come up with something that's happened at my school recently. It has to b...

Life is like a sharp stick; it can be used by many, but only the most proficient can wield it with purpose.

Jordan would like to think she is of the latter. Taking every opportunity the moment it appears, moving forward and increasing her resume with each experience she can obtain.

In high school, she joined any activity that would give her college credit. When she was in college, studying psychol...

the burden of memory

I can be

existing,

going normally

about my day,

living in the present

until

I hear something

and I'm plunged

right back into

those moments,

the feelings rushing back,

and it's like

I've never moved on.

I'm still there.

that's the thing

people don't tell you

about having a great memory.

the way that

the brain can conjure

such vivid images,

can perfectly recreate

the sinking in my chest

with th...

The people begin flooding into the room, claiming each of their chairs as they glance around the caging walls, wondering where the host has gone.

Virginia peers into the room through the eyes of a Victorian painting, which sits right behind where she'll be sitting in just a moment. However, she must first observe.

She must make sure that all her guests arrive.

Women of all ages enter, dressed in a...

Dear Victoria,

I'm sorry. For everything. I have to leave.

I love you.

- Amanda

As Victoria glances over the letter, in all of its minimal glory, she's outraged.

How could Amanda just leave her like this?

She had told her that they would make it work, that they could, and Amanda hadn't believed her. Really, it was Victoria's fault for believing that she would listen. Amanda's never been partic...

the power in sculpting

sculpting.

a talent I've never possessed,

but something I'd love

to try, something

I think I'd find

joy in,

but maybe not

for the actual art form.

I'm one to appreciate

the beauty of it,

but I don't think

that's where I'd

find my enjoyment.

I think I'd enjoy the power.

there's a certain control

that comes with sculpting.

you can mold the clay

to your will,

and no one can change

the outcome of t...

what did you do?

how did you react

when I stopped replying out of the blue?

were you concerned at all,

did you think anything was wrong?

you had to have noticed.

I'm not one

to grow distant.

you're the first person

that made me feel

like I had to.

what did you do?

how many times

did you miss me,

if any at all?

did you ever ask

anyone else

why I did it?

really, what did you do?

what could y...

"Please, oh my god, you can't keep doing this. Just let it go!"

"He cheated on me! He deserves what's coming for him." Isadora yells into her phone.

Madison begs, "Isa, he's just a guy. They were all just guys."

In a cold tone, Isadora tells her, "I'm getting my revenge."

Then she hangs up, and walks through the automatic doors into her local department store, searching for the laundry aisle.
