He’s Not Who He Says He Is.

Ive never been the best at turning up to work on time, always showing up five minutes late or two or twenty but it depended on the day.

Everyday I show up to work my manager, Darl Beau Carlson, always talks to me about how I need to get better at it. But Darl is perfect, and when I say perfect I mean *perfect.*

He’s always had it ‘better’ in life and I feel like he just doesn’t understand...

many kids my age don’t like to sleep.

the scream and whine at their parents and beg to stay up later.

My hands trembled as I looked down at them like I had never seen them before as i toppled to the rough grassy ground that laid below me.

I struggled to stand back up as my tears echoed through the rocky cavern. It seemed that no matter how loud I cried out there was nothing I could do. I glanced down towards my hands once more which were once pale but now was imbedded with deep red scales and ...

Sometimes the only way to really forget everything is to go to sleep. Yet in this house it was near impossible to do that.

My mother shouted from across the house for me to come and make macaroni and cheese for my little sister, Vianna, and as I stood up from my bed I glanced over to my window, my escape, my way out. I took a deep breath before snatching my small bag out of my dresser and hop...

Sometimes I just wish I was someone’s first choice?

I don’t want to be cherished or any of that unnecessary bs,

I’m fine with my grades though they’re B’s.

My hairs fine though I’ve been needing a trim.

Most of my clothes are wrinkled since I folded them wrong the last time I did my laundry.

Though apart of me is missing and I can’t explain it.

It feels like someone ripped out my heart and replace...

My shoes left rough indents in the muddy ground behind me as I rushed through the rain to Maple Street. One month ago from today me, my boyfriend Nathan, and my best friend Valerie, had used a magic spell book to send Valerie to a different dimension yet to our suprise it had actually worked.

Now I was running, in the rain, in the middle of the night begging and pleading that all of the work I...

the boy of my dreams spun me around, my silky white dress flowed in a circle as we laughed.

he always knew how to make me happy in dark times.

he spoke with the same calming voice he always used.

“may death do us part” he spoke with his stupid smirk and his cute dimples.

i returned the words.

“may death do us part.” i spoke indefinitely.


a scream could be heard from the woods beside us.

he told m...

Nearly three months at this point, yet I still don’t believe it’s been that long of a time period, me and my boyfriend at the time had peer pressured my best friend into trying if this stupid spell from this magical book she’d found in detention one fateful day. The spell happened to be real. Two months later I found her favorite pin in the middle of the road which ended up being the only last tra...
