“Shhh” Gloria whispers putting her finger to her lips, “there coming” I squeeze my eyes shut, Breathe in. Breathe out. Breath in. Breathe out. I can’t let them find me. Tears travel down my cheeks. Why am I crying? I’m having fun, I’m playing hide and seek with my friends, There is no reason to cry. I’m not crying. “Look at me.” Gloria’s voice is devoid of joy, something is wrong. I turn my f...

I delve under that water. Ears full, mouth full, my whole body filled to the top with water. I sink. I swim. I drown. I close my eyes. I open my eyes. I’m staring down at my kitchen sink, it’s soapy contents swirling around my hands. I’ve let go of the plate I was washing, it has sunk....

I’ve lived underground for most of my life. 12 years, two months, and 5 and a half days, If you want to be exact.

Leaving my hole in the ground was bittersweet. Sure, I’d wished to feel what my mother had called sunlight or hear the wind through the tall green trees every hour of the 4448.41 days I’ve been in here. But that had been my life, and I’ve gotten used to it. And when you can only reme...

I sit in a tree. the wind is blowing around me, cool on my burning cheeks. I lean my head against the branch, my body feels heavy, like its made of metal. And it’s trying to trap me to the earth, trying to stop me from flying. The wind is getting colder and colder, and I have the feeling that my bones are freezing inside me, slowly chipping away, in tiny frozen pieces… My eyes are now the only thi...

A whisper in the night. A shadow in the darkness. My eyes are like an eagles, I can see them in the dark. My ears are like a bats, I can hear them through the traffic. “Where is Eugene?” “I know as little as you, Joan.” “Sigh. Why is he always late?” “It must be for a good reason”, “Oh it better be… well did you at least get the layout?” “Of course I did Joan, you don’t have very much confidence i...

I walk into are old, local bookstore. a smell of books both old and new meet my nose, new books have a sharp tang to them, while old books smell slightly musty, both are warm and comforting. The old bookstore has always been my escape, but today it felt different, almost magical…. I dismiss the thought though, it’s probably just because theirs more people in here then usual, why are their that man...

I try to steady my hands as I walk, distracting myself by memorizing the ups and downs of this place, mentally visualizing a map in my head. I look up as we pass through a side door into a grand hall, white marble pillars climb to the ceiling then arch inward swooping into giant arcs. It’s the biggest room I’ve ever seen in my life, it must have taken years and years to build it, not to mention th...

This was taking way to long, thought Mira. Someone should have opened that door by now. She was just about to give up when she heard the door creak open, her whole body tensed up, she slowly peeked around the wall, please let it not be Elijah. It wasn’t, Thank god. Instead it was the girl with the fair hair again, she was arguing with someone behind the door, her voice rising in octaves. “Come on...
