The villain, angry he was defeated, fell on his knees. Waiting for the inevitable.

When the hero approached the villain, he took out a piece of paper a...

memory breathes

and so will she.

Sweet thoughts of yesteryear

of him calling her dear

of her love for him so sincere

memory breathes

and so will she.

although she had been gone for quite some time,

she is his first thought at morning’s shine.

When death came knocking at his door,

he smiled...

Her fingers tips scrunched into a claw like shape. Her nails dug into the brown bark. Body pressed against the rough cylinder surface, she began her climb. Her dress scraped along, collecting dirt, leaves and any unfortunate ant that crossed her path. Her feet followed after, securing her hold. The higher the better.

His hanging was set at noon. The Sun cast a long shadow of the gallows in his cell. He swallowed the cotton feeling that lodged in his throat and leaned his head against the stone wall.

When I saw you I smiled

When I saw you, it was like seeing an old friend.

An old friend that I haven’t seen in years.

“Go to your parent’s cabin Sarah!” Her aunt told her. “ there, you will find a hidden hot spring.” She paused. “Are you listening Sarah?” Sarah nodded absentmindedly.

The bells rang waking Ella from her fitful sleep. She wanted to weep when she opened her eyes to stare at the now cold, dark fireplace and not at the prince. It was all a dream.

The bells chimed again. Time to serve, time to clean, time to stop dreaming. Ella met her step-mom and step-sisters in the dinning room and gracefully served them their breakfast. “Good morning,” she said meekly withou...

The angels gave direction to the Shepards on where to find their king. Mary and Joseph gazed astonished as their savior slept soundly in the manger. The Shepard found them, the small family under the bright star and knelt down to pay homage to the great Shepard. ...

“Ok I get it already!” My sister, Jean exclaimed exasperatedly.

“Are you sure? Because one slip up and the whole plan is ruined!” I replied back. Jean rolled her eyes and nodded. “Now I’ve made a deal with the Junkers. They’ll take us as far as West Stop and then we’ll move on from there.”
