**Collin sat down on the hospital bed, trying to get Eli to stop crying as he rocked her, while Stephan was pacing around the room, “****_do_**** you think it was Vivian, Collin?” Stephan asked, pausing his pacing to face his brother. **

woman

If a girl is smart

It comes to her naturally

If a girl is failing

She won’t be studying

If a girl likes a guy

She’s wasting her life

And if a girl wishes to be single

She thinks herself a prize

If a girl wishes to get married

Then where are the children and strollers

But if a woman wishes to work

She’s too driven, too passionate

If a woman acts out

She’s lost all discipline

If a woman doesn’t s...

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.


It’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 haven’t gotten used to her and Nova....

Me

Me and Aria went out to play...

I’m fine

Now I eat less

My life is a mess

I’m under so much stress

I’m trying my best

But i never get rest

And I don’t feel very blessed

The voices inside

They eat me alive

Because good isn’t enough

And I can only hold so much

Before I explode

My soul implodes

All because I don’t know which roads

To go down

But I’m _fine_

I’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: “A manager needs to have a strong personality.” To make his point, the teacher gave an example, saying, “Ahmed could never be a manager because he’s too shy.”


Ahmed didn’t respond; his shyness held him back.


Fast forward 10 years, Ahmed’s life took a turn. After graduating from school an...

The Last Round

“I don’t need your fucking money” Billy throws a stack of cash back at Joe Collie just as he was about to leave.

“You took from me….” He says, staring, droopy-eyed, directly at Joe Collie” You stole from me Joe.. you took him from me”


“Listen, 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. It’s cold, as always. But this is the first time the temperature of a frequently visited place felt like an avalanche of expectation.


“I’m pregnant.” 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 ...
