“It started with the old cars hidden in the woods…

It was a dump, cars laid astray destroyed and broken—flat tires, and random parts were spread out all over the car graveyard.” Dante, who was our self-appointed storyteller—paused for effect, before starting again ominously.

“ Machines and contraptions made out of spare parts, also were spread out around the forest clearing. Some of the machiner...

I stumbled through the forest in a frenzy. I could barely breathe, my heart felt as if it were to explode. Every time I exhaled, I could _feel_ the sword poking through me—like a kebab. The wound was sharp and tender, the pain was _unbearable_. I staggered through the woods, holding my chest in pain.

_There is no way i’ll make it out of here…_

The thought bubbled up—just before it popped, f...

My hear felt heavy with burdens, as I studied our predicament—Marooned on a island, dust and rocks being its only sign life as ever existed here.

The betrayal of our comrades left a hole in my heart, a deep wound.

The wound compelled any hope I had left in this horrible world…

No matter the situation, how harsh and inescapable my fate was.._her_ that same woman—who I thought was the _most _...

“Better hide yer toes when you sleep.” My momma used to tell me, she used to tell me every night. That on Christmas Eve, once a year that unfortunate children were sacked from their homes. In the dead of night, A tainted evil old man. Who goes by the name Satan Claus. Will drag you by your toes. Laughing manically, as you screamed and flailed to your end. No matter if your naughty or… nice. Satan ...

_Why was I here?_

The question bubbled and squeaked in my head _just_ before it popped. Filling me to the brim with thread.

_I shouldn’t be here…_

I look around to the eyes of multiple of my peers. Staring at me intensely, as if I had grown a head. I could feel my cheeks heating up, as I bathed in my shame.

Maybe I wish I had grown a head, perhaps it would be less embarrassing.

Here I was, sprawled on the cafeteria floor. Covered in what you would call a ‘sloppy joe’.

I felt as I couldn’t move, the sloppy joe stuck to my hair and neck. It se...

I was going to do it today, confess that is. My heart was beating rapidly in my chest, as I walked down the dirt path towards the pier. The sound of birds chirping and the leaves rustling gave me hope. Which quickly diminished, I sat at that pier for atleast 2 hours, yet no sign of her. My heart sunk as hours passed by. By the time the sun started to set, I felt like crap. Any hope left that she s...

The sounds of armor clanged all throughout the courtroom as the guards took their post.

The guards had to demonstrate, _we _had to follow their lead as Pages.

The stakes were unbelievably high, if we couldn’t keep up. If we failed had to face the punishment of incapacitate. A common punishment for crimes in Crestfall, often issued by the queen. A rather large lady with broad s...

He shoves a knife under my throat, meeting my eyes. Those eyes…. soft, warm eyes; eyes that _just don’t belong to this _murderer. This can’t be the man I loved. My eyes swelled up with tears at the thought me _ever_ loving him. This man.. this man was going to kill me....
