It was the fourth, no, fifth time she had told me no today! "It's not good for you!" she said as I walked away sitting sadly at the bottom of the stairs. I was told to leave the kitchen more times than once, but they couldn't keep me out. I had a solid plan to sneak around the furniture, doing a couple of flips, rolls, and tiptoeing. I knew I would be able to get around without being seen. I did j...
“Who are you people?” Monique asked, more determined than ever. Alec, otherwise known as Brain Game, groaned inwardly and communicated telepathically with his friend next to him. "When I said that I wanted to tell her at some point, I didn't mean today." An explosion outside made him grimace and he looked pointedly at his associate, also known as Camo. "She should be in the bomb shelter beneath th...
Today was my last high school track meet. It was my final chance. I have tried, and failed, to break the 800-meter school record. I have been trying to break this record this season, each race coming seconds short. Here I am, standing on the starting line, feeling extremely anxious. My stomach hurt, and I felt sick. I wanted to break this school record so bad.
"Just shoot the gun already," I sa...
I woke up this morning feeling excited about the day. The night before, made a decision that I am going to start learning a new skill believing it's going to earn me money, give me the opportunity to network with a lot of people. Feeling giddy about this experience I am about to embark on.
Stood up from the bed, walked into the bathroom to have a quick bath. As I freshen up, staring at my face in ...
The smell of smoke burned my eyes and nose. I stared at my burning house as tears ran down my cheeks, though I hardly seemed to feel them. Almost everything I cared about had been turned to ashes; my dog, my books, and the house I had lived in for my whole life. My mother weakly squeezed my hand. She seemed just as stricken as me. My two year old brother sat in front of me throwing a horrendous ta...
The lights were all off, but that didn’t stop me from finding my way. I knew this place like the back of my hand-and unfortunately
For me, they knew that.
Running quickly with our hands, held together tight
We ran and leaped in the air, searching for the light
Silent shoes tapping, and our unseen hot steamy breath
Helped us on our journey, staying alive escaping death
Dry moist ever falling rai...
Gods It’s stifling in here; you wonder why you didn’t choose a cooler climate. Droplets of sweat drip along your brow and run down the side of your face. Mentally, you start to remind yourself that this is only...
“So, who’s going to die today?” He says this as he saunters down the line-up in his industrial hydraulic exoskeleton suit. The squad lead, eyeing his new batch of recruits with the typi...
Riesen beat one massive hand against Leofric's chest. No good. Leofric's body thudded against the ground, yet otherwise remained unmoving. His eyes were widened, flecked with dirt, unseeing, cold, empty. Great gouts of rain sloshed from gutters and splashed from roofs, co-mingling with the blood to form puddles that ringed the two men in a damp, macabre circle. Riesen pounded his friend's chest ag...
It was a hot afternoon in the sahara desert when a group of desert ants left their home in the Mastic trees to scavenge for dead insects. The sun was exceptionally scorching like never before. The sahara deserts ants have been able to adapt to the extreme weather conditions.
The leader of the sahara deserts ants found a brook nearby that was surrounded by dead insects. As the leader lead the way,...
{Disclaimer: These Gods are one's I have chosen from my own imaginative worlds. These do not pertain to other mythology.}
As kids, we were told the stories about the kings and queens who ruled above. Gods and Goddesses of every single thing you could think of; Earth, fire, wind, seas, love, feast, famine, war, and on. The God's of course were mythical. They never existed.
That's how we thought, a...
