Every day seems the same.

Nothing new, nothing gained.

Every second passes fast,

I wonder how much longer I’ll last.

My heart beats slow inside chest,

The hospital told me I just need rest.

But as I sit, staring at the wall,

I don’t think it’s even worth it at all.

I hope I won’t always feel like this,

Like everything is just pointless.

But I guess for now I’ll have to cope,

Though everyo...

Dragons and faeries

Elves and warriors

Dungeons and castles

Romance and horror

Love and hatred

Princes and kings

Ogres and trolls

All bound up in the pages of a book.

Oh, how I wish it could all be real....

Can’t see. Can’t talk. Can’t smell. Can’t hear.

Nothing.

It’s been like this for as long as I can remember. Never being able to do anything except feel and wonder what I’m touching.

I grab around the familiar room I’ve been in for as long as I can remember, trying to find my way to what I assume to be a window, where I always seem to get reenergized.

Something wraps around my wrist, leadin...

Today was just a day like any other: I woke up, dressed myself, and headed to the garage where me and my best friend, Daisy, worked on cars together.

I arrived at the garage, thinking nothing was out of the ordinary, until I saw Daisy. She was dressed in green overalls with a white, grease-stained shirt underneath. My heart did a backflip in my chest, which had never happened before.

I chose t...

Today was a normal day like any other, except for the new girl, Linsey, in my chemistry class.

Now, this wouldn’t be a problem, except that I had gone all year in chemistry without a lab partner since our class had an odd number of people, which meant that Linsey was now my partner, and got it into her head that we were actually friends.

“Can I sit with you at lunch, Zach?” She asked me.

Of ...

Living without care

Thinking that nothing could change

Then everything did

Every night alone

Waiting for a call or text

But nothing happened

How could she move on?

Knowing that nothings the same?

Will it ever be?

Thinking she should wait

To reach out or keep contact

But is it too late?

Still left wondering

After all this time alone

Why had it all changed?...

“Get down from there right this second, you headache of a person!” Yelled a voice that I recognized as my boss’s.

“I’m sorry!” I say, scurrying down from the ladder as fast as I possibly can.

“What on earth we’re you doing up there?” He asks me, his arms crossed.

“I- I was just looking for the chicken to put in the soup…” Suddenly the floor became very interesting, and I couldn’t look up at ...

Her skin whitened, and her breathing hitched.

I stifled a scream. She can’t be dead! Not when she was so full of life only moments before.

“Come on, Carson,” she said to me, “we have to make it through this last room and then we win!”

I’d believed her, grabbing her hand and allowing her to lead me into a dark room.

The door shut behind us.

“You want to win?” A voice hissed at us. “The gam...

“Don’t jump, it’s too dangerous,” Jack pleaded, grabbing my arm. “Let me come with you.”

“I have to do this in my own. I started this, and now I have to end it.”

He sighed, giving me one last look of desperation and let go, and without looking back, I jumped.

Plummeting 5,000 feet to your impending doom is a lot less scary when you’re dreaming. It was still terrifying though. I could hardly ev...
