"But why did she have to leave..." Elizabeth whispered while curled up in a fetal position, hugging a stuffed animal to her chest. All she could think about was how stupid she was. Her

girlfriend had successfully painted her as the villain, the words from their fight still tormented her and had only seemed to grow louder. She squeezed her eyes shut in hopes that everything

would fade away. It did ...

People used to think dragons were terrifying, and rightfully so. Large creatures were razor sharp teeth and powerful claws that can spill your insides with one, even relatively small, slice. Piercing gaze that contain such malice that people said it was like looking straight into the devil’s eyes. Masters of their natural environment and infamous to take down. Not to mention the carnage and destru...

(Blowing the metaphorical dust off of the screen. It’s been a few months. Hello again.)

That whirring of the polishers. The grating sensation of metal makes me grimace, instinctively pursing my lips much to the dismay of the dentist looming over me. The blinding overhead light combined with the metallic smell was already bad enough but bearable. So I kept my eyes closed, trying to con...

Simon and Carman stopped in their tracks when they saw their mother tearing up envelopes scattered across the coffee table so when he approached her, all the letters had 'Samantha Fletcher' written sloppily on them. His eyes widened and clenched his fists, biting hard on his tongue to supress his rage but his body moved on its own, snatching one letter out of her hand.

Within seconds, a stern han...

“Did you see that or am I going insane? You saw that, right?! The flickering was like a rapid ‘blip blip blip’, it was sick.” One of the hikers mimicked the way a car light flickered on and off.

Yeah! A-and that noise, what even was that?!”

“Will you guys shut the hell up before I ‘blip blip’ you out of existence.” Said Skye, the group leader, as she raised her hand to silence them.

“Hm, free labor does sound fun, but your sister would kill me if I held you hostage for more than three days.” Chloe said as she was crouched down, digging through a junk box in hopes of finding a movie while her best friend, Carson, sat on the edge of her bed.

“You know I wouldn’t mind. This way, I have an excuse to skip my studies. Plus, it’s about time someone intervened on this mess. Just gi...

I never was a bigger believer in the holidays. Santa, Easter Bunny, Spirits, Saints, I found them…unnecessary. Holidays were invented to give temporary relief and comfort to the mundane routines of life. A break from running around in circles, chasing after an empty promise.

I didn’t have the strength to,

I didn’t think to,

But I 𝙝𝙖𝙙 to.

We met one day and made me feel better,

Talked for hours on end.

Wrote in a journal about everything. Nothing.

Shared emotions and comfort.

I gave you affection you when no one else did,

When no was else 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙.

“Princess Angelica?” One of the maids said as she opened the door to an empty storage-now sauna- room.

As she closed the door and headed to the back, the middle aged woman fanned herself from the increasingly warm air. The windows were too small to circulate the air. Torches on the walls gave the room an eerie glow but also added to the heat.

When no one responded she let a sigh of annoyance ...

Callahan’s boots sunk into the damp sand of the desolate beach where he stood before the mysterious girl, who remained hidden behind a skeletal mask. He watched carefully as the girl had her bow aimed right at him, ready to unleash the arrow at any moment.

“Leave. Before I make you, pirate scum.” She hissed.

“Listen lady, I don’t know you and I don’t know why you have to insult me but unfortu...
