Paul dodged to the side and struck at his assailant’s wrists, turning the blade away as it flashed past his body. Though unarmed, he was able to move fast enough to evade and to disarm. In a moment’s decision, he saw the dagger sheath and jumped to one side, drawing their dagger and with one foot entangled with theirs, throwing his opponent to the floor. The sword hand came up to make an attack...

Dear my grateful children

Why do thee cry i side the heart?

No luck is going to bad as mine

You are happy children

Until they come for you

An chain you to the wall

With your wails unanswered

No one will come for you

As I dissect thy body

And use thy parts as an experiment

In my castle

And hang up your head

As a decoration

For the days to come

(Supppsed to be after what happened in my po...

I always loved the horses, and why wouldn't I? They are as pretty as a sunset on a clear summer day and strong enough to carry Mama, Papa, William, and me in our wagon as we cross the plains of Wisconsin, heading to our new home in Colorado....

Calathen opened his eyes. This place never ceased to amaze him. It was as if he was perched on the edge of the world. With his back against a large oak and his arms crossed behind his head he looked at the waves. He sat at the edge of a cliff. The sheer drop went down hundreds of feet. The wind blew fiercely so far up, but he was not afraid. He had been here many times. This was his quiet spot. Al...

The rain poured heavily, slicking the asphalt with neon reflections. “Day 7: Oxygen Levels Critical” blinked on a billboard above the checkpoint, its letters flickering through the static. Logan tugged his mask tighter, the filter barely clinging to its last cycle. Ahead, the border wall gleamed—thirty feet of polished steel, its surface blackened with plasma scorch marks. A woman stood at the ga...

A far away world in a far away Galaxy, Xelzz (z-el-zz).

The creatures on this planet were called, Xemlers (zemlers). Xzza (E-zz-a), was one of them. However she was different. Each of the Xemlers were pink with blue hair and long fingers. Each finger had its own 3 tentacles. However, she was purple with orange hair and triangular hands and winged fingers.

Shall I continue this draft?...

A landscape veiled in ethereal Mist, where boundaries between reality and dreams blur. As the Cybertruck rolled up to the valet the man who was driving (who was called eernie) winded his front window down "can I have a wash and wax please". The valet man (who was ignorant.) signaled for eernie to move forward. Eernie caught on quickly that the man was acting sluggish and weird. So eernie went...

The cry of The Forest was heard from the end of the world. It scream deafened all animals, people, and plants. Nobody understood what had happened, they were just the watchers of the process. The dancing red flames burnt the ground, giving scars that will never heal. This place was miserable - a place of hell. All creatures have already flew away, scared by the fear of dying. Except from Her. She ...
