Elias sat on the edge of the bed, the cheap mattress sagging beneath him, mirroring the slump of his shoulders. Twenty-eight years. Twenty-eight years he’d carried the weight of the world on his back, a stoic statue carved from granite, never cracking, never yielding. But tonight, th...

Your friend tells you they always keep souvenirs from every date they’ve been on.

You think that’s sweet until you notice the collection is growing at an alarming rate. One day, you visit their place, and they're not home. You decide to peek into the room where they keep the souvenirs.

The room is dark, and the air is heavy. You start to look at the items. There are the usual things, but there...

A weight I bore, a hidden plight,

That dimmed the sun and stole the light.

A secret held, a whispered plea,

That choked the joy from out of me.

But shadows fade, and dawn appears,

As truth unfurls and dries the tears.

The words released, a cleansing rain,

That washes clean the inner pain.

The burden gone, the spirit free,

A brand new day for only me....

Jade's heart raced as she held onto Tommy tightly while riding on the back of his motorbike. The wind whipped through her hair, and the thrill of the ride mixed with the nervous excitement of being so close to Tommy. She stole glances at him whenever she could, admiring his confidence as he navigated the winding roads.

In a world where the echoes of nature had long faded, Lacey, a young scavenger with a heart yearning for the lost world, stumbled upon a weathered book in the ruins of an ancient library. The book's brittle pages whispered of a creature called a "cat," a mysterious being that once roamed freely alongside humans. Intrigued by this enigmatic creature, Lacey poured over the text, absorbing every word...

In a small town nestled amidst the rolling hills of the English countryside, there lived a boy named Reid. Growing up in the quaint village of Oakwood, Reid had always been known for his inquisitive nature and his love for exploring the world around him. However, there was something peculiar about Reid that set him apart from his peers - he had never tasted the sweetness of chocolate.

While other...

As Amelie stood frozen, her heart raced as Otto's piercing gaze met hers. "Amelie, it's been a while," Otto's voice, tinged with a mix of surprise and warmth, broke the tense silence. "I... I can't do this right now, Otto," Amelie stammered, her eyes avoiding his intense stare. "I understand, but we need to talk," Otto insisted, his eyes reflecting a hint of longing.

Reluctantly, Amelie nodded, a...

I play in my garden, it's super cool,

Sun shining bright, like a big pool.

Swinging so high, feeling like a bird,

Seeing fluffy clouds, without a word.

Pretty flowers, buzzing bees,

Colors everywhere, oh, what a tease!

Little bugs crawling, grass so tall,

My secret spot, the best of all!...

Lyra stood in the dimly lit alley, her heart pounding with a mix of emotions as she faced Finnian, the man who had taken her most cherished memory. "Lyrabelle," Finnian's voice, husky and filled with longing, cut through the tense silence. Lyra's eyes widened in disbelief, "Finnian?" she questioned, her confusion evident.

"Why did you take our memory?" Lyra's voice trembled with a blend of hurt a...

Roses are red, violets are blue,

Your love's like a shoe, old and worn through.

Your smile is nice, like a moldy slice,

But your love for me is as cold as ice.

Your eyes sparkle bright, like a dimming light,

But being with you feels like a long, dark night.
