Silence

LunaTheWitch🌙

1 min read

Silence can have different ways of how they feel. Some can feel akward, like you can’t brake the silence or nasty things will come. It can feel crushing, like your suffocating within it. It can be as peaceful as the park on a cool afternoon with limited people. It could be annoying as well. Like you wish it to be louder with nose, but none comes. It all depends on your opinion and how you see the ...

A dislocated thumb

I stare at the tall figure standing in front of me. White male, mid thirties, already balding, and a crazy look in his blue eyes. The veins in his neck are bulging, his hands hold the hatchet so tightly they’re shaking.

I’m tied to a chair, hands shackled in my back, ankles bound to the feet. It’s easy to guess what drives him. _Power_. Too bad for him though, I happen to know the script for that ...

*The golden record was sent into space with the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. The record contains data about the human race for any advanced civilization that might find it.*

A mother and her child walked together on the beach.

“What’s that?” The boy asked. “That shiny thing in the water.”

The boy’s mother sprang an appendage to retrieve the object as she didn’t want her child to fall in and be ...

Rooted And Grounded

Karina Oakes

Rooted and grounded in his love

This love, is definitely from above!

Immeasurable, as far as the east from the west

He will love me forever, always the best

His love is deeper than any trees roots

Deeper than any river

Fuller than a quiver

My roots dig deep down

By him I want to be found

Having his salvation

Is my foundation

This love from above

Forever rooted and grounded in his divine love...

An Answer

Margaret Sok

1 min read

I tap my pencil nervously as I reread the same question over again:

**What trophic level is a herbivore? **

I glance around the room, hoping maybe a poster could give me a hint.

Hopelessly, I scrap through my memory. I know I studied this…I just can’t _remember_.

Before my hand commits to guessing, my eyes catch on a small script written on the desk.

In small writing, so minuscule, only the hop...

Elodies Traits

Alaina Hall

1 min read

Determined. Understanding. Resilient.

Three words that defined her existence. Something that anyone is capable of, but rarely achieve due to their own selfish pride. Or so she had observed.

Her determination came from her fathers demonic line, no doubt. Though most demons lean closer to obsessive ambition in their pursuit of power. Elodie however, never let her fear of failure reach the surfac...

Madd

1 min read

On a windy afternoon, a group of four teenagers—Sarah, James, Alex, and Maddison—stumble upon an abandoned warehouse, seeking a fun adventure. The dimly lit hallways are filled with an oppressive scent of mildew, and the distant creaking of floorboards and rustling leaves add to the eerie atmosphere. The farther they go, the creepier it gets, but the group doesn’t care; they continue to laugh and ...

‘Un’ The Becoming

Dede

1 min read

Are there any why’s left?

Against this foreign escape.

To find is not to know, but rather solidify.

We cannot know if the origin is lost, or if the source remains anonymous.

These things are naught but phantom’s embrace, the slipping of sanity… the fall from disgrace.

Do we perhaps accept our reality’s illusion, or do we gather the dice and prepare to roll?

Turn to the gambler within and...

Tears

Dede

Tears.

Don’t let the tears fall.

Casting your glossy gaze to the crumbling artex, you suck in a shallow breath. You thought it would be easy to let your emotions out of the cage, space to be…

How wrong were you.

“Are you even listening? You aren’t- Look at you! Trying not to cry, again!”

How you wish they would lay a hand on you, rather than lashing you with their spiteful tongue.

I Care Too Much

A.M. Katherine🗡️🥀

1 min read

They twist their fists

Through my hair

Look down upon me

Locked in this chair

“You don’t care”

They scold

Their voices loud

Their eyes plain and cold

But they don’t know

They can’t see

All I do is care

All I do is 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭

Sitting in my room all day

Staring down the sun

As it blooms across the sky

What an arrogant beauty

Why can’t I be that bright?

Why can’t I be that 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥?

Oblivious to...
