Summer break is supposed to be a holiday to have fun, but my brain takes it as time to turn off. I am not joking. I am sitting here thinking it’s a Tuesday when it’s actually Thursday. My mom says it’s completely normal, but that doesn’t mean she is going to let me sit around in a trance. That’s why I am sitting here about to go to 6th grade, but I am doing polynomials as homework. Even though I d...

I was screaming, wondering where I was going. I was an astronaut, and on one of my missions, I had been launched into a wormhole.

Everything—my entire life—was passing by me in memories, and I was the spectator. From my first word spoken to my final thought before the wormhole, I saw it all.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, I landed somewhere.

Underneath me was solid metal. I realized I...

Ever have one of those days that starts off kind of weird but because it’s just “normal weird” you don’t think too much about how strange it might really be? No? I didn’t think so. Me, neither. In fact, it seemed like every day of my life just started to blend together, to morph into each other. Like, some days I wasn’t sure if it was Tuesday or Thursday. They both kind of seemed the same both equ...

One moment, Lilli was out searching for Genova, one of their rivals, since her Petilil had gotten split up from her, and instead ran into Lilli. Lilli had out their Sylveon, who never returned to its Pokeball, and their Brionne and Quilava, who they had been training with before Petitil had found them. The next moment, however, the group was thrown through a wormhole, landing in a place not much d...

So, I sat down and sparked up my cart. Confused by the smell of the air and the peculiar hiss circling around me. At first I just assumed they were gnats or some other insignificant bug. Rapidly and in sync, they swarmed like starlings, becoming fewer and larger. Morphing into each other as they collided, until a creature stood before me. Four feet tall with tiny scales resembling polished obsidia...

There’s an unsettling feeling in the air. A feeling of impending doom. I look around but I don’t notice anything unusual. I begin to walk cautiously while looking at my surroundings. I can’t shake this feeling that something is off. I pick up the pace but then I stop. It’s quiet. Too quiet. I notice a figure at the corner of my eye. I turn to look at it and it’s a deer. It’s staring at me. I slowl...

My alarm blared, startling me awake, I tried to reach my phone but somehow it was across my room, where were my glasses? Oh my head, my world spun as I stumbled across the floor to get to my phone that had continued to screach at me, damn. My alarm must have been going off for almost an hour, panicing I rushed down the hall after seeing the time reading 8:55 Am, that was my last reminder to leave ...

I was in school, per usual. I was learning about the Civil War, but I really I was just doodiling next to my notes.

My name was Tanner Ukule. I was a fourteen year old eighth grader. I’ve always wanted love, always wanted to hold a girl’s hand in my own, but the past two times proved failure. This time I was after Sam Kim, my speech and debate partner in the mock trial.

Though, I feel it’ll only ...

Can I even write fiction? How do I have such a good imagination everywhere else but not making stories. People are impossible to create they’re too complicated.

I feel like I don’t even have anymore to contribute. Maybe I don’t. Maybe I’m finally out.

She opened and shut her eyes a few times. That was different.

She walked through the door and lights. Music. Dancing. Fun! She closed her eyes ...

At first, it felt like I had tripped… or skipped a step on a long staircase, but as soon as I got to the forest, where I often meet with my cousin and twin brother, the first thing I noticed was the deafening silence.

No birds chirping, no crickets, and no rustling of leaves. I thought nothing of it at first, until I got to the creek. Or at least… where the creek used to be. What I saw when I arr...
