on cloud nine

Once, there were nine kingdoms.

They each rested upon their own cloud, stacked one atop the other like pancakes. And each was named One through Nine, with Nine residing on the top level and One at the very bottom.

The higher your kingdom was, the more well off you would be. Nine had all of the most powerful people: the king, dukes, earls, lords, and anyone who was deemed important enough to serve ...

Fate Lies In Your Hands

Andora entered the shop, and she was instantly pleased with the atmosphere.

The talisman shop had what seemed like hundreds of shelves, all ordained with wooden trinkets of all sorts. Opportunity screamed from each of them, just waiting to be useful to one of the witches to walk past them.

She made her way towards the register, taking secretive looks at each and every object. To be there almost fe...

the streetlights still look the same

some nights

I'll catch myself looking out the window

and the car will pass

a streetlight,

the bright beam shining across the road.

the light hits my eye,

traveling down

until it reaches my heart

to greet the ghost

of my childhood wonder.

I can feel her

as I gaze into the night,

and no matter how different we are,

how different I've become,

the streetlights still look the same,

and I'll still w...

It's the Dodgers' first game of the season, and like usual, I'm in the dugout, cheering on my boyfriend as he runs to first base while I wait for my turn to bat.

And, like usual, I'm getting shit from the guys.

I've never been as good of a player as James. I know that. I just wish that everyone didn't make such a big deal about pointing it out. It's well known that James Dalton is the team's big n...

falling (in love)

a waterfall,

I find,

is much like love.

it starts with the descent,

leaping off the edge

to form a beautiful fall

that the depths

of the ocean would envy.

it's the time

most wish they could

once more experience;

the weightless joy

before plummeting.

while sounding horrid,

in many ways

the crash

is what crosses the bridge

between admirement

and love.

being enveloped

by the ferocity

of feelings ...

How To Be An Angel: A Fallen's Perspective

3 min read

Dear reader, you are about to embark on quite the journey.

Becoming an angel is not for the faint-hearted; I would know. I was once an angel, and I was the best at it. I was the most perfect angel there was, holding all of the virtues close to my soul, guiding those who were lost.

Never mind the fact that I'm now fallen. Those other angels were just jealous, which really, they say is a sin, so who...

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...

only fragile on the surface

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...
