“Let them go… they don’t even want to stay,” Brain said, solemnly.

“No, no… not yet. They can’t leave yet,” Heart said, drowning in exhaustion.

“Why not?”

“Because if I let them go I’ll have no one! No. One. They’ve been my friend for so, SO long. I can fix everything. Trust me!”

Brain sighed, defeated.

“I trusted you. I, I mean I also trusted them… and look how that turned out. You’re just hurtin...

Well, hi, my dear friend

Does it feel weird to you, writing like this? I learned this from ancient history class. The scientist wanted done us to write a message in hopes they can send it back in to the past. I do wonder what it was like back then. I know people say that things weren’t as advanced back then but….. writing this, in this way. It feels…I guess it feels more complete. I sometimes wis...

The hunger games.

A child slaughtering matrix.

I never thought much about what it must feel like to have your name called. I mean, I’ve always resisted watching the games any way. Who would force a young child from watching something so brutal? But today things will change, I knew that, but I didn’t expect it change the way it did.

It was the 12th hunger games and I, Daisy, a young fem...

I stood in front of a large entrance with pure white doors looming over me like mountains. There were no handles and I wondered how I was going to open it.

I turned around to face the wide hallway, bright lights vanquished any shadows and everything was pure white that stretched on forever. If I saw any colour it was black or blue between the crevices. I focused my attention back to the door. I ...

The Dweller of the Outer Horizon

It had been three gruelling hell-haunted days on that abysmal planet. Frostbite had found its way into the appendages of the crew, each face grew thin and yearned for warmth, even subtle things like the sane and steady look in the eyes of the “Leader” had changed.

Complexities beyond the resources of a barren tundra world had shown themselves in the fixtures of the ship. Slowly the twenty thousan...

It was so weird. Like out of this planet, chimp in baked beans, weird. I was just walking to class before fourth period with some of my friends and this guy I’ve never seen before just stopped me in my tracks. And I knew everyone in this school from first name to what they ate for breakfast that day. Not to mention, we’ve all been going to school together since like, birth. But this guy just sh...

“Only a call away! Please remember that, Bug.” I said, as I stared longingly into her eyes through the holovid.

The images were always blue, but once I met her, I realized that holovids were actually the color of Her Eyes.

I love Ladybug with all my heart.

But we are so far apart right now. Kind of like a, “closest we’ve ever...

I sat up with the smell of antiseptic burning in my nostrils. I had a feeling like everything was spinning and I felt nauseous the cold hospital air was nipping at my nose. My hands were shaking I tried to catch my breath but as soon as I did my hands started to glow and I tried to throw off my blanket but instead of pushing it off it caught on fire I pulled off my IV and tried to run to the door...

She knew she would get scolded if anyone spotted her so close to the surface, where the light made everything appear turquoise. It was surprisingly cooler up here , nearer to the windy surface. The sunrays appeared more golden as she came to a stop right underneath the ceiling of water, the air just above it.

Once the air hit her mud-coloured skin, she rolled around and pushed up using her tail, ...

All Hands On Deck

The alarms cut through Stan's daydreams. One moment he was accepting the Award for Technical Brilliance, the next he was surrounded by a flurry of activity. Pulsing red lights drenched the control centre, calling people into action.

'The arm - get the arm!' came the order, barked across the chaos.

Stan jumped up, cursing the coffee that split across his lap, and raced across the chamber to his p...
