Lie To Me

“HELP!”Becca screams as loud as she can from the lowest depths of the dark tunnel. She tries to peek out of her left bruised eye, but gives up when the pain becomes unbearable. Her vision is still fine out of the right but it is so dark she can’t make anything out. She has been trapped for a day and a half and has no clue where she is. She tried to feel around her surroundings only to feel the wet...

The Revealing

It was a few days before before his biggest fight ever, and Bruce knew it. And she's questioned him about it multiple times, but he kept denying it, because he thought it would keep her safe, but now he knew that, that would have to change. So he called her over, and before she could say anything he spat out "I'm Batman". She slowly replies "what". "I...am...Batman" he repeats....

Foresight

James pours the freshly strained pasta back into the pot and begins stirring in his homemade sauce as he hears the apartment door open and close.

“Hey babe” James call to no response. “Babe?” James walk into the living room and sees Eric sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. Eric eventually looks up at James with tear filled eyes.

“I need to tell you something.” James crouche...

Hero

I ran down the street as fast as I can, I hadn’t even realized I still had my hero mask on until I got to the front down. I ripped off the mask and threw down. In mid air it faded again into magic, flowing back into the magical pendant I wore. I tore open the door, calling out for my brothers names. The house seemed empty and I began to panic.

“Joshua? Taylor?” I called out, my heart was raci...

Why Me?

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...

Secret

I’ve tried to keep this from happening as long as I could. I know she won’t forgive me, I know it. But it’s either her knowing and being away from me or her life.


With my heart in my hands, ready for her to crush it in a million pieces with her disappointment, I try to look for the appropriate words to tell someone you love that you’ve lied to them for the past two years.


-“Hailey i’m sorry”

-“S...

Yellow Skin

I looked in the mirror and had to double take. I was staring at eyes I didn’t recognise, skin that had dulled to a jaundice colour in a matter of days. My eyes were the same shape, but the colour of my iris had changed to a mustard brown. It had been six days since I’d been bitten, and I could no longer deny they’d gotten me trapped this time. For years I’d carried round the antidote, and every ti...

Mother?

I sat in the chair at the kitchen table where my mother was busy making lunch.

My sweet, frightening, worried mother. She hummed quietly as she worked.

It was warm and

I still insisted on wearing my hoodie, sweat was dripping down my back. The lights were humming and I thought this wasn’t a good idea after all.

I was about to open my mouth and tell her “never mind” but just then she reached ac...

Saving Jessica

The brilliant blue sky was full of white fluffy clouds. The sun was shining bright, but it wasn’t’t too hot. If I hadn’t been fighting my arch nemesis, this probably would have been the perfect day for a picnic in the park with Jessica. Oh my beautiful Jessica, I’ll have to make it up to you another day. We’re definitely going to have to have a romantic picnic tomorrow. Even if it rains, we could ...

Wait What !

Josie, I know things been hard. It’s crazy. I know I never thought I would have to tell you. I just thought I could keep it under control but yet they always seem to find out who I am so I said to myself, she must know that I am a superhero...
