What would you do with a body if you had one to hide?

The heavy fall of a knife slammed down onto the chopping board. My hands were clammy and I had to make an effort not to let the knife slip out of my hand. Not to draw attention to myself. Although I was alone, I always felt like I was being watched. I steadied myself and looked around my room, then back to the mess in front of me.

_No...

A single cough. A single shuffle. A single breath. That’s all it takes for him to realise you’re there. A single sneeze. A single stretch. A single glance. He edges towards you, he creeps forwards quietly, masking himself in the emptiness of the shadows. A single roll of the eyes. A single kick at an unsuspecting stone. A single crack of the knuckles. He lets you know he’s there, now, although onl...

Eyes like sapphires

Heart like gold

From the top of her head

Exquisite ringlets unfold

Smile like a diamond

So shiny and bright

When the world is dark

She is the one pure light

Talks like an emerald

So rich and so cool

And the sweet words that she tells me

Are my one great, great fuel...

The day the monsters came

They flung open all the doors

Started screeching insulting names

Stained boots pounding on the floors

The sound of the alarm

Piercing the heavy air

Loud bangs indicated harm

Hiding places were hard to share

Alone, scared and terrified

Looking for some sweet solace

But if by chance you were eyed

The floor was far from flawless

So, although you must keep having fun

Keep ...

A hot flush scrambled up my neck and settled insistently on my rosy cheeks. Hastily, I reached for my face, trying to avoid eye contact with the beautiful girl in front of me.

„Are you alright?“ She smirked in a flirty fashion, and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my scarlet ears. I gulped, trying to regain control.

„Yeah,“ I giggled sweetly, groaning internally as I realised the blush was stu...

A tingling presence in the back of my head. Nagging at me. Like when there’s something you can’t quite remember. Then a loud rumbling sound. Shaking my bones and the harsh floor around me. Any grey fills my vision, consuming me until there is only dark. A noise like a cymbal pierces the deafening quiet like a harpoon swirling through the water. Sweat trickles down my forehead, moistening my dry ha...

I could feel his otherworldly presence behind me. His hollow eyes burning the back of my head.Dread consumed my body as I slowly turned around to him, face to deathly face. The smoke swirled up into the foggy sky behind him, blending with the ashy grey of his smoky gown.Roses and ivy climed up his wiry legs, rooting him to the dusty floor. As he outstretched a shaky finger, he let out a deep groan...

„I WANT TO GO HIGHER KATY!“ Sara screeched. It was not cold, per say, but it was definitely breezy. As she flew higher and higher, a gust of wind brushed through her honey blonde locks.

„I can’t!“ Katy moaned, letting out an over exaggerated sigh. She was almost the polar opposite of Sara, where she had bright blonds ringlets, Katy‘s hair was as dark and pure as the night, her striking green eyes ...

Two hands

Almost intertwined

But yet somehow

A world apart

Two eyes

Almost locked

But yet something

Shields their view

Two lips

Almost meeting

But yet somehow

Drifting away

Two hearts

Almost synced

But yet something

Changes the pace

Two bodies

Almost one

But yet somehow

Never close

Farewell, my almost lover...

APRIL 18TH

Dear Diary,

Good day in general, I think we are close to finding a cure. But Clara says we’d better find it soon, that’s fair, I understand, but she needs to understand it’s hard.

APRIL 20TH

Dear Diary,

Another average day, although we better up our security, a couple blocks down there was an… incident and 3 people turned.

Dear Diary,

_Not much...
