I FEEL LIKE DEXTER

Tangled in his truck,

Fireworks are pop, pop, popping.

Laying next to him, the bass is pumping.

He smiles, teeth glistening in the dark.

Told me he wasn’t one to kiss me.

Here he is, stuck to my neck.

Like a leech, a leech.

We’re toxic,

Truck is rocking.

Colors are erupting.

My New Year’s resolution.

Chaotic. Yeah, we’re toxic.

He’s a gentleman, touch me sweet.

My thro...

Lexi stood in complete shock. All she could hear was cops yelling at each other commands that she wasn’t gathering meaning from. At the same time, other first responders were running past her, some bumping into her. Lexi was in the way, she knew that, but she couldn’t move. Her legs felt like they had somehow seeped into the concrete and it wouldn’t let her go. Her neighbors were everywhere, stari...

It was all starting to unravel. The inevitable war of secrets had begun. To say we were all mortified would be a drastic understatement- no one said a word as silence consumed every last one of us. All of a sudden the room seemed a little bit darker, a little bit duller, a little bit scarier. I could trust no one. I was a liar. They were liars. We were all liars....

It was Halloween, my favorite holiday. I was getting tired, it was time to go home. I started walking but it was too far. I decided to take a short cut through the forest. Trees left and right, nice green grass, and a large white shiny egg? I stood confused, just staring at the egg. I looked around and there were no other eggs. I glanced at the trees, no nests either. I didn’t know what to do so I...

after squatting over the city park’s public restroom toilet,

& my ears are pierced with ringing

i quickly go outside to where my friends are waiting for me

“guys. something is wrong. im dizzy, i cant walk right now.

In today’s busy world vehicle traffic has become increasing chaotic, a miserable feel for commuters and governance has become challenge beyond the imagination to streamline....

It’s 2:38pm as I leave work, hoping I’ll beat traffic. I set my receipt filled purse and empty lunchbox in the passenger seat. I make my way on to the busy street of downtown. “hm, it’s half past 2. What’s going on?”

I make it to the highway fastest to home.

“Oh. What in the world!”

“Why is everyone moving so slow.”

I’m slowly making my way, seeing flashing lights up ahead. As I’m sitting in t...

The entire class was gathered in the boys bathroom. “Ewww this stinks,” said Emily. “Yesss,” agreed Lily, “it does stink.” Just then a voice from the PA yelled, “THIS IS NOT A DRILL, STAY IN THE BATHROOMS, CROUCH DOWN HEAD LOW.” A few girls screamed. The boys meanwhile, started running to the windows trying to spot the disturbance. The teacher started screaming at everyone to go back to their posi...

Bang! a 7.42mm round just shot a mafia! Everyone around the mafia starts shouting OMG! The boss is dead!, one of the man wearing long coat shouted. wheeze a bullet just flew pass me in an instant. The next thing I see my hands are covered in blood....

My eyes burst open to a bright, searing white light. My head buzzing with a low ring in my ears, I pat myself down looking for any injuries. I lean over to check my legs and feet but my right foot is backwards. I don’t even feel it. Am I going to lose it? I think.

I look around trying to get my bearings. I see a helicopter in the middle of the building through the now broken glass partition. It ...
