“Closed mouths don’t get fed,” he whispered harshly.
“For me, they do,” I replied.
“What do you mean?”
“Protests and demonstrations were never really my thing. I prefer the sneaky method.”
DJ’s face looked like he was starting to get it.
“Amara,” he said slowly, “what do you have in mind?”
“I have a, er, knack for sneaking around to get the things I want. Now it’s the things **we **need.”
“I don’t...
Everyone made a big deal about it. And I suppose it is, was, a big deal. But I was just doing my job.
My job as a certified firefighter and EMT is to save lives. So that’s what I did.
People say I’m delusional for saving his life. But I didn’t know. And the people who say I’m delusional also didn’t know.
I stand firm in what I believe in. I always have and I always will....
We had found it. The last lost space station. It had been heavily guarded by the lost civilization. But the lost civilization had well been lost. No one really knows what happened. And everyone has been too scared ask. Except for us.
Me and my team of four friends had spent months trying to find the abandoned outpost.
We had found it. Area 51, the abandoned naval base left by the unknown species: ...
Some say futuristic, but we like the word reused. Everything you see has been used by someone and then thrown away as junk.
So we see it as our future, the best way to turn our world around. We turned their past into our future.
This word future always sounded weird to me. Was it two seconds or two thousand years. It just depends on what you think. Here’s what I do know: the choices that we are m...
I really don't know why, but silent tears started running down my cheeks. All the emotions started coming back to me, and I couldn't contain it. So much has happened in the last week and a half. Now with everything figured out, I kind of wish I could go back in the dark, not have to pretend that everything was okay, because it clearly wasn’t. I can feel Jace’s breath on my neck. I turned my head t...
I had said it. I knew what was coming. I wasn’t an idiot. I was smart enough to come here, and now I am smart enough to leave. It was dangerous.
It was dangerous because I was here. I was the powerful one, and he was after me. I was willing to die, but not willing to innocent people die.
Someone had once told me, that death should always come before defeat.
And I lived by that saying....
It stood up
It didn’t belong
It was a stain
On a crisp white shirt
No one liked it
Why would they
It was ugly
And plain
Surrounded by green
The power of nature
The wind and rain
It was weary
It was there
It shouldn’t be
We wanted it gone
But it was too late
It rises in the sky
Jutting up like a weed
It’s unwanted
And looks like a shard of metal
So don’t keep building
So the green can keep...
Dear Future,
Don’t wake in the world where the trees all died. You won’t last long. Unless our world now has artificial air, you won’t last much longer. But I’m sad you won’t see the trees beauty and the peace they bring.
You will never hear their song of sweet dreams. You will never smell the fragrance the dances through the night wind. Their leaves will not be played in and their branches will...
As a tattoo artist, I have many stories of things I have tattooed. But when you produce special ink that changes people fates, the requests just get weirder.
The usual if a dollar sign for money or a heart for love. I once had someone you wanted a tombstone and I immediately said no to that.
One request they loved but so knew they were going to regret: a crown. It represents royalty. Last I heard,...
Oh no, oh no, oh no, no this is a nightmare. I thought I would be leaving my high school years behind.
But nope, I just saw who my future roommate was going to be. Quinn Islandi.
She bullied people all of the time, and had so much makeup on that she must have bought a makeup brand.
I was told mean girls were just insecure. And maybe she was. But the way she acted, it was really hard to like her....
