Budding Trust

Haze knows being a witch makes her stand out, but she will never get used to the eyes studying her when she enters a room, waiting for her to make a mistake.


Waiting for her to suddenly break out in evilness and curse them all.


Itโ€™s even worse right now because the royal family is hosting a ball so there is a flurry of people around. Buzzing bees. Ones that havenโ€™t gotten used to her and Nova....

Me

Me and Aria went out to play...

Iโ€™m fine

Now I eat less

My life is a mess

Iโ€™m under so much stress

Iโ€™m trying my best

But i never get rest

And I donโ€™t feel very blessed

The voices inside

They eat me alive

Because good isnโ€™t enough

And I can only hold so much

Before I explode

My soul implodes

All because I donโ€™t know which roads

To go down

But Iโ€™m _fine_

Iโ€™m always _fine_

Thats a silly little saying of mine

A little white lie

That I say...

The Last Stand of Kael Vryn

Kael Vryn stood alone at the edge of the shattered canyon, his breath clouding in the icy air. The horizon burned crimson as the sky split apart, tearing the world in half. Behind him, the ruins of his home city smoldered, its once-proud towers reduced to ash and rubble. Before him, the Voidborn Legion swarmed like a tidal wave of living darkness, their forms shifting and writhing, barely holding ...

From Shy Student to Successful Manager

(Real-life story)


Ahmed was a quiet and shy boy. One day at school, the teacher made a comment during class: โ€œA manager needs to have a strong personality.โ€ To make his point, the teacher gave an example, saying, โ€œAhmed could never be a manager because heโ€™s too shy.โ€


Ahmed didnโ€™t respond; his shyness held him back.


Fast forward 10 years, Ahmedโ€™s life took a turn. After graduating from school an...

The Last Round

โ€œI donโ€™t need your fucking moneyโ€ Billy throws a stack of cash back at Joe Collie just as he was about to leave.


He stagers from the bar stool to Joe Collieโ€™s face, away from the half glass of Burgundy heโ€™d been drinking.


โ€œYou took from meโ€ฆ.โ€ He says, staring, droopy-eyed, directly at Joe Collieโ€ You stole from me Joe.. you took him from meโ€


โ€œListen, Billy, you should head on home don't even w...

The Shift

Alice sat down on the bathroom floor, a place she unfortunately knows all to well. Itโ€™s cold, as always. But this is the first time the temperature of a frequently visited place felt like an avalanche of expectation.


โ€œIโ€™m pregnant.โ€ Alice wispered it to herself, but she needed to say it out loud to make it real.


Just that day, Alice kicked her worthless alcoholic, drug addicted husband to the ...

The Arena Of Hate

The arena is my stage, and a sword is my prop. At least, for today that is.


A sea of vibrant coats roar from the stadium, banners fluttering with provincial pride. I even see a few Valkenโ€™s in the far back, cheering for me. I wave, and they cheer louder.


Most days the arena is empty, say for the few students who are given clearance to spar here. But today isnโ€™t most days. Itโ€™s the damn winter so...

Heir Of Thera

(Idk, this pompt was perfect for part of my story)

Juno fell to her knees at Solomonโ€™s side. This man, though he wasnโ€™t related to her, had posed as a father figure for the last year. To see him dying was like a knife to her heart.


โ€œJunoโ€ฆโ€


She placed her sword down beside her, her eyes following the trail of blood that dropped down it.


โ€œI know I should have told you soonerโ€ฆbut you looked so...
