"I will murder you," Naja threatens her twin brother, Kafsi when he shadow boxes her head.

The younger twin rolls his eyes and sits down on the pillow besides her. "You’re no fun."

"You’re 20. Act like it."

Kafsi pulls on one of her box braids. Naja gasps and shoves him aggressively.

Me and Niko, our best friend, watch the two argue and fight. And now she’s water weaved our water into a fr...

Three brothers ran through the field to the cover of the trees beyond. Their father’s words still echoed in their minds even as they heard the explosion behind them.

“Don’t look back. And whatever you do stay together.”

When they reached the woods they kept going. None of them looked back. Three special boys with very different gifts. And their father had taken the time to nurture each one. ...

My dad cheated on my mom. He thought it was our fault my mom now hated him. Hit hit hit. Never good enough.

Hit hit hit

Beer bottle on the floor.

Why.

Why must he be like this

Why did my mother marry him?

Why?

*Make sure to go follow my sister! Kitkat 💕*...

I never thought loving your family meant acknowledging the feeling. I always thought it’s something that’s true without having to expound on the fact or having to act on it.

And that’s true in a sense. But I always felt something was missing in my family bond. Siblings, always together, yet never going beneath the surface of their thoughts, feelings, beliefs. In reality, I know nothing about my ...

Branth ran through the field, trying to escape from his brother with their sister Meera in tow. As they parted the long grass, Meera giggled, revealing their position to John the whole time. After a few meters, Branth plucked Meera off the ground and dove behind a large rock, shushing her with one finger to his lips.

She tried to stifle her laughter as they his, but that was almost worse than ou...

Elias Grey had always been a good man. At least, that’s what he believed.\n\nA history professor at a small university, he spent his days lecturing about fallen empires and moral decay. His students admired him, his colleagues respected him, and his quiet life in the city was unremarkable. But deep down, Elias knew he was a man of limitations—an observer of history, never a maker of it.\n\nThe fir...

They say if you see one, run because the other three aren’t far behind.

Four boys, no older than thirteen, but the world carved the softness out of them early. Parents? Gone. Homes? Burned. All they had was each other.

They moved like shadows in a broken world, scavenging, tricking, stealing. They’d smile at you with dirt on their cheeks and knives behind their backs not because they hated you, bu...

family

the only

place where i

feel as if i

can belong and be me.

the world will keep rotating, but

nowhere else will provide this unconditional love.

cherish what you have before it disappears suddenly.

whatever you have, it can vanish before your eyes.

and this includes your most precious friends, and your family.

Ivy’s face contorted in a sour way. Her arm, she realized, was the place of pain after the adrenaline of running wore off. A shard of glass, thicker than a shard of anything she had seen before, was stuck deep in her skin. It had jammed its little way between her skin just enough to almost cause lasting damage.

Sitting in the infirmary she sighed, she didn’t wish for this to happen of course, but...

When your world dies, you do. That’s what the books I’ve read say. Then why am I still here? Why am I still alive?

I stare up at the dark, starless sky, wishing it would suck me up into its depths of oblivion. The moon watches me from its perch, a full moon shining ever so bright. I here the crunching of leaves behind me before the sound stops and I feel a warm body beside me.

“James, you look l...
