“You enter the mad scientist’s laboratory and are instantly hit with the smell of burning oil and metal.” Our DM starts, “You see the walls, lined with these glowing orbs contained within brass.”

“Can I touch it?” Asks the barbarian.

“It’s hot to the touch, you pull your hand away immediately.”

“Ok I smash it.” The barbarian rolls her dice.

Our DM nods, “It shatters easily with a swing of yo...

I’ve never felt so disconnected. My mind continues to replay the moment, the seriousness in my mom’s tone. I knew before she even said the words to me that my Nana was gone.

I had my moments, cried till it hurt, reminisced about my times with her. The usual mourning rituals.

Then I woke up. My alarm still went off. My feet carried me out of my bed, into the kitchen. I lingered on the food opti...

To Be Happy

“One day when you come of age, I want you to remember moments like this that made you smile. Those wings will blossom soon enough.” My mother’s words rang out in my head as I stared at myself in the mirror. I just couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I swayed back and forth, letting my arms droop and swing with the lazy motion as my tulip petal dress flared with each spin. The scent of the new peta...

Yellow

I never paid you much mind

Always soft and bright and kind

You rested upon sunflowers

Shined brightly in early morning hours

An ever present glow

These soft bright yellows.

Until you told me it was your favorite

With a smile on your face

I may as well have hated it

But how could I make such a mistake?

It’s hues fill my heart with warmth

Flicker in fires and starlight

Appearing in many forms

Fluffy Shadows

I have watched thousands fall by the meer infliction of my gaze. I’ve toppled empires and left only destruction in my wake. I’ve assumed the mass casualities of a raging storm. I’ve been called many names, feeble human reductions in my power to try to understand me. Only now…

“Fluffy!!” I heard the old crow coo at me. She was nearly blind, with glasses that took up half her face doing hardly anyth...

I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t say it right now. Yet somehow my nerves felt even more on edge once I did. I’ve said it to her a dozen times before, though she probably never heard me, why does it have to feel so different now?

“You love me?” She replied finally. She was staring at me, not in her usual curious way but with genuine shock. Had she really not known this whole time?

I took in a shar...

My human knows not of what he speaks. They’ve always been too stupid anyhow! They can’t even catch their own food, and when I do it for them what do I get? My hunt thrown in the stinky bucket!! So why should I listen to them now? Thrice now they’ve pulled me away from the whirring colorful castle. It is filled with the screams of the tiny humans. I should not desire to enter this accursed chamber ...

Her brother’s eyes grew wide, first with shock, then fear, then anger, “Ellie!!” He said in a hushed whisper trying to push her out from behind the brush, “Stop it you’re gonna get us caught!”

She only laughed at his feeble attempts before steadying herself, “Shh shh Michael it’s ok!” She put a hand over his mouth and pointed into the woods they just came from, “Look.”

He begrudgingly tried to sh...

He slumped back on the park bench, his hood falling off revealing the silver hair he kept neatly braided. He sighed, letting his sycthes dissipate into stardust. The amount of work for a reaper in a land considered the afterlife baffled him.

“Adrien! My man! What the hell ya doin here?!”

He opened his eyes to see the wide wolf skull grin of his ghostly companion, “Luz, and for a second I thought ...

When no one is watching

We remember how to play

How much we love to sing

How much fun dancing can be

And that music is best when it’s loudest

When no one is watching

We’re the world’s best comedian

Giving the most thought provoking TED talks

Making up noises that spark joy

Just to fill the silence

When no one is watching

We get nostalgic about small things

Drop the mask and let tears flow

Pick ...
