Sorrow

Pain

Depression

Cops filled my home

Lights everywhere

So many people like tiny ants

gathering around their queen

My dad lay motionless

So indolent the cops stand

I knew

I knew why no one cared

The cops shot him

He screamed

Bleed

For what felt like an eternity

They did nothing

Nothing

I took them to court

No one believes a teenager

The judge dismissed

The cops smirked

That’s moment...

Dr Warrock,

You’ve heard from me several times this week, about updates on evidence found at the scene of John Doe’s attack. I’m sure you’ve heard from other investigators, too.

If you’ve been paying any kind of attention to the details of this case, you’d know of mine and the prime suspect’s complicated history. I figured that you’d already had a slight hunch about the pieces of evidence you’d ...

The red dot looks Iike an oddly-placed Christmas ornament, only it’s on my chest and not on a tree. The Sniper found me. Years on the run leads to this, then: a split second decision in which I have two paths: stand and accept the bullet, or run. He knows that I know he has found me; if his mark is there, he sees me, too. So he’s eyeing me now, from some distance, probably smiling, knowing I lost....

As my hands begin to tremble I drop the knife. It hits the ground with a quiet ding that makes me focus on the body that lies before me. It’s just a body. Not living or breathing. Just a body. As I stare at it i hear the door behind me creak open. _Fuck did I not lock the door? _I think to myself. I turn around and look my brother right in the eyes.

“Is that mom?” His voice was broken and quiet a...

Before you were a jester you were an investor

Before you left you were a theft

Before you had money you you were country

After everything your still self seeking...

It was a night just like any other. Me and my best friend going out on the town. Painting the town red, living it up, blowing our wages on frivolous things we didn’t really need. Then out for the night in something we’d bought new that very day. We hit the usual hotspot- Legends or what we would term Leg-ends thinking it was really funny and making newbies laugh as we queued up to get in. We check...

“Find it?” I chuckled, the sound echoing despite the noise coming from the bar just outside our private room. “you’d wish I simply found it.”

His head flicked up and down, between me and heavy contents inside.

“This is millions of dollars. Hundreds times more than what you owe.” He rushes out, digging his hand inside to pull out a diamond covered bracelet, decorated with sapphires — one of ma...

While growing up Dominic was told he could be whatever he wanted. As long as he tried hard and focused on what was right. He believed this until his parents disappeared one day.

“Hey Dom, have you checked the news recently?” Ruby asked as she was coming into work. “No, what is it?” He replied as he hit send on another monotonous email. As he turned to look his eyes caught the heading of the arti...

The bullet connects with his chest. Bullet. He was shot. He fell backwards. Off the cliff. It felt like a slow motion movie, but this wasn’t a movie. He was shot and he’s gone. A gasp escapes my throat followed by a retched scream that travels past my lips. Tears start streaming down my face. They turn towards me. Oh god. I screamed. Before I can comprehend what my actions just cost me they start ...
