Sean sauntered through the ashes of the collapsed building with a growing sense of doom, forming a deep pit in his stomach. There was something off about the last man he carried over his shoulder out the burning building, and it didn’t sit right with him. Replaying the scene over and over again in his mind, he tried to place what exactly was triggering the alarm bells to ring in his mind like that...
“Hey mom, is it OK if we go to the store? I need to pick up some snacks for my friends , remember we’re having a sleepover” I said to my mom “sure yeah we can go”.We hop in the car. I thank my mom for having us go to the store.
“hey mom, why is there a giant cloud in the sky and it’s really close to the ground?” I asked my mom “what do you mean there’s nothing there” but she looked up. A faint s...
He was special, different and confident because he knew - in his looks and his personality. 5 o’clock shadow, piercing brown eyes, thick eyebrows and a strong, macho look on his fact like he didn’t have anything to smile about. But when he did smile, a soft charming, yet beaming smile portrayed a glowing aura in the air. It made you not want to look away. He was about 5’9 in height and muscular wi...
Silence is a tricky thing, the absence of noise can be deafening, it leaves your own mind to fill the space. My own heart hammers in my ears, making everything jittery. The ship hums its low song of mechanical life, anxiously waiting for something to go wrong.
The outpost is just ahead, completely dark and still. Every breath seems too loud. The ship inches towards it in the infinite space th...
Sarah waited, feeling time slipping away along each “tick tack” of her car. Another random neighborhood she was directed to at 2 in the morning yet she couldn’t say no. How can she say no, or else, who will take Ali home? Her hook-up for sure would kick her out, and no one knows it clearer than Sarah that Ali had no penny left to pay for an Uber and no friend left to give her a ride. What a dumb c...
She looked at Alice with love in her eyes and vengeance in her heart but fearfulness in her soul. She knew that she was the most powerful woman in the universe and it would be a challenge to support her sacrifices.
“Are you willing to be by my side till you die?” She asked me constantly.
My answer was always the same.
“Of course I will, till our hearts die and become ash.”
Each time it was a...
“This is the worst kind of love. Honestly!”
Ever since I was in my teenage years when confidence consumed me and curiosity hit the better of me, I always believed in the power of loving someone. It makes you feel pure and so strong that it can help you conquer the insurmountable challenges life throws at you however, sometimes that isn’t always the case.
In my town, my neighbour Liam has alway...
In the quiet hours of twilight, Alex sifted through the dusty boxes stowed away in the attic, each one a portal to a past they scarcely understood. Nestled among faded photographs and forgotten relics, a weathered journal emerged, its pages yellowed with age. Curiosity piqued, Alex flipped through its contents, stumbling upon the clandestine musings of a forgotten era.
The journal chronicled the ...
A tense whisper echos in the dimly lit alley, “we need to get out of here, now!”
“What?! Where?! Where should we go?!” A shrill cry slits the darkness along with a match igniting. Behind the flickering light emerges a cracking smile on a rotten face with piecess of muscle and skin hanging off of the bone. Inside the hollowed eye sockets squirm maggots coated in murky goo
