Behind Our Masks

Mason lunges at me. His white hair red, stained with Sophie’s blood. My heart hammering against my chest.

I roll aside, grunting as I land on the cold hard floor, my shirt riding up.

Fuck, where is xaden?!

Mason stands up slowly, breathing heavily. It’s reassuring in some ways to know that im not the only one that’s panting. The smoke fills the air.

His smile hid things. His eyes knew more then led on. The bakery closed at 6:15 every day. That’s when I strike.

I walked into the alley and picked the lock. The fridge, dough. The cabinet ingredients. The drawer a LOT of yeast. That’s when I noticed it a door behind the oven. I shoved the oven out of the way and kicked the door. It was an office. It looked normal but was it? Nope. The first draw...

A single day had passed when they announced it. That people's lives would soon come to an end, wiping everyone off the earth within seconds of hitting.

Yet Evie couldn’t bring herself to care.

Not that she didn’t want to, but because she couldn’t. Her feet dragged on the pavement, pace slow and leisurely as she strode forward, gazing at the darkened sky. Stars winked at her, as if they knew wh...

‘Spare Me’

Noclue

I sat tied down to the chair staring at the man standing before me. He snapped his rubber gloves on, playing with the blade in hand as if taunting me with the power he held. He could do anything to me. He could, and would, kill me eventually. But at the moment I understood that I had a chance, I had time to talk. I had time to convince him I wasn’t fit to die to his blade.

Five minutes.

“Kida, come say bye to nana.” says my mom. I roll my eyes and I reply “ok mom, just give me a second” I get up and walk over to the cabinet looking for the cookie jar that nana always has in here making sure it had not moved . As I reach for the handle of the cupboard, I feel something dark looking at me almost looking right into my soul. As I pull the cupboard open I feel something almost dance s...

Pigeons aren’t known as amazing conversationalists, but I bet they’re better company than the judgy old lady currently eying me strangely.

“Mind your business,” I hiss across the park pathway.

The flock of pigeons ripples around me like a cloak shrouded from my shoulders, draping over the bench where I sit, and amassed around the bird seed covered ground at my feet.

Even the woman jolts at my ...

Melanie Herbertson. Critically acclaimed author, clever inspirational feminist, and mother to a four year old boy. She had it all. Practically in the sense of love, happiness and community that is. But everything would quickly shift for the worst when one very popular book she published would go horribly wrong.

Melanie gleefully had published the book titled ‘Blood Bath’ about a dramatic murder ...

The Silence Within

Mara knew the exact sound the front door made when her dad came home drunk. Not the soft creak of someone trying not to wake you, but the sharp, careless slam that rattled the coat rack. It was always late—always past midnight—and always followed by the clink of keys hitting the kitchen counter and a long, tired sigh like he hated himself for coming home at all.

She was used to it. Or at least th...
