The story of Icarus is very interesting

and also very well known.

Falling, falling, and falling some more.

Yet, The Fool’s story is yet to have truly grown.

Daedalus warned him of the danger,

yet he never listened.

The bliss was unimaginable,

the melting wax on his body glistened.

Feathers floated from the sky,

reminders of Icarus’s failure.

Even though he knew he was about to die,

the soothing ...

I slam my fist on the table in front of me, rage coursing through me.

“You’re telling me we are just gonna let them take all those people away?” I hiss, my voice dripping with malicious intent.

I planned to kill them all, all of them. Every single one who decided to capture half the population of a helpless village. It was infuriating and I would stand with the people. My slouched body lang...

The hummer buzzes as it drives down the road, the sky a odd shade of blue as fog covers everything else. We had been in a forever-lasting winter for about 5 years now, and it had only been this year when I realized there was a war going on. A war going on to stop it. The concept of fighting ‘till the death just to stop this winter was rather odd, but people were dying from starvation because not a...

“Your time is up, you better run!” was all the motivation I needed to sprint through the brush and thorns, desperate to get away from him. My lungs slowly begin to burn like a raging wildfire as I run, thorns cutting my face open like tiny razor blades. I couldn’t slow down, my legs doing the entirety of the work as I run, my eyes wide like a madman. Except the real madman was the person who had s...

My breath doesn’t take long to become steady after the air finally fills my lungs. My hands were tied—far too loose, I might add—behind the rickety wooden chair I had been sat in. An annoying fluorescent light shone into my eyes as I continue to work on breathing steadily. If my body wasn’t calm, my mind certainly wouldn’t be, and a scatter-brain is a recipe for disaster whilst being kidnapped.

To anyone who reads my stuff, I’m gonna start writing a book and posting the chapters on here like that one guy does. Since I don’t have the pro features, I’ll have to waste random prompts on this.

Thanks!

I cough as dust flies through the air and into my throat. Everything was smoke-infested and dirty nowadays. After our new, foolish leader decided the best way to govern our world was banning us from doing basically anything. I stalk down the street—as for cars were banned—as I clench my fists tightly to my sides, my destroyed winter boots clunking against the cracked pavement.

There were many p...

In a heart-shaped box, a mother keeps her childrens’ teeth. She grins wickedly as she sets the box in a hole in the wall, knowing nobody will ever find them besides herself.

Her house was eerily quiet and it made the hair on the back of the mother’s neck stand up. She didn’t know why, though, because she was not afraid in the slightest. The mother hid her box of nasty, bloody teeth and walked ou...

Red Riding Hood, just a little kid,

innocent mind, innocent dreams.

Just like we always did.

Red Riding Hood dropped to our world,

and her eyes went wide with fear.

She looked around the world she appeared in,

and thought her death was here.

Red Riding Hood remembered the wolf,

whom she had slaughtered so long ago.

She realized that in this world,

the wolf would’ve been the way to go.

People tr...

January is dreary and cold,

the tempuratures chilling.

If you are so bold,

stop this cold from killing.

February is the season of love,

chocolates and flowers galore.

Love is unending all times of year,

more powerful than anything above.

March is the forgotten month,

not many think about.

The birthdays in this month,

have to scream to get their shout-out.

April showers bring May showers,

but w...
