Truth Or Dare

“Truth or dare?”

“Truth, of course.” Jaelyn responded immediately. Dares could definitely veer into humiliating and gross situations she didn’t want to experience firsthand, ever. She would hate to embarrass herself any more than she already had by simply existing. Jaelyn was already beginning to regret coming to this party; there were so many people she barely knew by name, but she was forcing ...

He was never a _scary _man - emerald eyed, ginger hair as bright as the morning sun and a slim, tall figure. You never _backed away _from him like he was a _criminal - _but he was. He changed suddenly and his spark dimmed. The light in him burnt away like candles when you blew them and his once glistening eyes turned to _black_. With a stern mouth which froze no matter if it was cold or not emerge...

There’s rock candy in my mouth.

I watch the cars pull into the parking lot, Parents come to pick their young’uns.

By a red car stands a short round man Exchanging words with his contrasting daughter.

The girl’s life last night took a turn for worse

But Daddy dearest doesn’t want to learn:

What a girl has done is not always her fault,

And if one life is birthed, another will be taut

She twirls h...

Raven

He flies over the streets of walking figures below. They push, they shove, and they tap their feet as they tap their watches. Impatient, careless. He watches as they toss aside their plastic cups, half full of brown liquid, on the side of buildings where they meet the lifeless concrete. Few look up, but those who do point and call him unlucky, a bad-omen. He thinks back to a time where the Anishin...

Why They Are Called A Murder

It was when my girlfriend Jessica and I were out together that I realized I’d forgotten to tell her about the crows when she arrived at the airport. Ever since their homes were destroyed from the ravenous wildfires, they have craved sustenance, and in the midst of natural selection and Darwinism, most have grown to develop the ability to sense when someone shall die. So they can patiently await th...

Stuck In A Loop on the Wrong Side

Luna Moon✨🌙

A crow, high in the sky

Who’s going to die?

Today, of all days,

When the sun is shining & bright

A giant light; is it a sign?

A sign that it’s time?

Maybe I’m overthinking this

But I have an uneasy feeling

I don’t think today’s going to end well

For anyone…

I can’t ignore a gut feeling

So many times it’s been right

But no one will believe me

Try as I might

Who’s going to believe a little girl?

"Sarah, go change your sweater! Are you trying to bring crows into our lives?" my grandmother said every morning when I came downstairs wearing anything black, whether it was a striped T-shirt or a bow in my hair.

As I walk the streets, grey skies above us, statues, emblems, paintings and fountains all adorned with crows, I try to imagine a world where this one small black bird didn’t carry the w...

Octopus

Sadie plopped down next to Shannon in the overgrown grass, leaning over her friend’s shoulder with a grin.

“Drawing again?” she asked.

“Mhm,” Shannon replied, not even bothering to look up from her drawing. Today, it was an octopus, its tentacles cleverly wrapped around each landmark of the old map she was using as a canvas. It was nothing short of incredible, Sadie thought. She could sit t...

3 Years From Now

Tenshi

1 min read

Sometimes I wonder…

what will I be doing,

three years from now?

Will I be aiming for a Bachelor’s?

Will I be a cashier at a retail store?

Will I own a small shop?

Will I be an amateur author?

Maybe an infamous poet?

A famous screenwriter?

Will I be healing?

No matter what I’ll be doing,

there is one thing I’m hoping for,

only one,

that I’m happy with what I’m doing....
