“How do you do it?”

He looked startled. “Do what?”

“Just…create. Something out of nothing. There aren’t many people who can do that, you know. Gods, parents, and artists.”

“Poetic” Alex laughed quietly, and he joined her. But it slowly faded into a frown. “I’ve always thought it had to do with feeling. Empathy, you know? And an unhealthy love for story.” Ty winced. “Sorry, you don’t want to hear a...

“Have you heard the story of the moons?”

Dare groaned, lying back on the mat and pulling the blanket over his head. “I don’t want some story!”

Sim yanked the blanket off, turning to face the healer. “I haven’t.”

Dare sat up. “How have you not?”

Sim glared at him until he broke eye contact. The healer laughed softly. “Do you mind if I tell it, then?”

Sim nodded eagerly, and Dare sighed. “Fine.”

“You killed him,” Seira said weakly, feeling as if she might vomit again.

“I did what I had to do,” Ten said harshly. She pulled Seira after her. “Come on. Are you going to throw up?”

“I—”

“Don’t do it off the roof. You never know who it’ll land on.”

Seira swallowed. “I’m fine.”

“Good.” Ten glanced back, and something in Seira’s face must have convinced her of the lie. She sighed. “We can stop u...

Every Heart That Shatters

“The haart,” Professor Linset crooned, “is a strange and rare creature. I doubt that you have ever seen one.” He stepped up to a large cage as he lectured. In its center was what seemed to be a ball made of solid black stone. “No other creature is as strong. And yet no other creature can break so easily. Would you like a demonstration?”

Without waiting for an answer, he moved closer to the cage. ...

The scarlet blood

On your pale skin

Is dangerously beautiful

Your lips

Your arms

Your neck

My fingertips.

I want it

I want you

I want

To feel you tremble

As I

Taste

Your

Blood.

I want

To watch you

Panic

As you

Finally

Understand

That I

Will

Destroy

You.

I want

To paint

The glittering

Rubies

That drip

Enticingly

Onto

The floor.

I want

To bottle

You

And bring you

Out

When I

Am most lonely.

I ...

Circus Of My Dreams

Eddie Rue

1 min read

I am trapped in a circus

And I can’t get out.

I am dancing to a tune

I can no longer hear

And the music is terrible

And it hurts so badly

And yet I cannot stop.

I blink,

And the crowd is laughing,

I blink again

And the crowd is gone.

I look up

And there is only darkness

I look back

And all the light has faded.

There is a ring

Around me

A ring

Or a stage

And on the other side

There are people

W...

I am the creature you created to fulfill your most desperate wishes.

I am the hero who lives to slay the monster under your bed.

I am the one who loves you more than life itself, and always will.

I am your knight in shining armor.

I am your dearest friend.

I am your closest confidant.

And you are my everything.

I should be yours.

I SHOULD BE YOURS!

I live to love you, but you can’t...

Annie sat at the edge of a cliff, kicking her feet contentedly. “Death?” She asked.

The tall figure standing at her shoulder stirred. “Yes?”

“What happens when I die?”

Death blinked. “What do you mean?”

Annie turned to face him, brow furrowed. “When people die, you send them on to the next life. And I’m going to die eventually. So…I’ll have to move on. And you’ll stay here.”

“Well…yes,” Deat...

“Are you ready?”

Liz grinned in the darkness. “I’ve been ready since you met me.”

Uunz snorted. “You know that isn’t true.”

Though it was too dark to see him, Liz flicked his ear. He yelped, and she laughed. “I’ve waited a long time for this, darling.” A twisted smirk crept up her face at the red she knew was filling his cheeks.

They walked in silence for a moment, not even their footsteps betra...

Magic

The sound is louder than gunshots,

But the lights are so beautiful.

The fire is dangerous, surely,

But look at the colors.

‘There’s no such thing as magic,’

That’s what they told me.

‘Wake up,’

That’s what they said.

‘Stop dreaming.’

But look; look!

Have they forgotten how to see?

There are lights in the sky,

Dazzling flowers,

Endless rainbows

Without any rain.

Am I the only one who sees it?
