Remember that,” I whisper, crossing my arms and ending the conversation. I turn my attention to my leg, blocking out anything else he has to say. I don’t want to hear it. My parents have been dead for years now and the only person I ever found joy in was Kallau and she’s dead too, because of me.…
Still screaming, I finally open my eyes. I can see people on the ground. Some of them are laughing at me, some of them are giving me disapproving looks. Do I care what they think? Of course I don’t.…
Buffy's vision blurred, damp hair covered part of her face, sticking with wet. She blinked her vision clearer for a minute, not quite ready to pull herself out of the puddle, not quite sure if she could. Face sideways in the water, cold and probably dying, flashes of how ran through her mind almost in slow motion, but almost in hyperspeed. The last weeks of sparring and battle-prep and the impending death march running like blood through her ears. Coming down here, determined, to end it.…
Everyone remembers the day it came. I was just doing normal kid stuff when I heard a loud bang. I didn’t think much of it because there was occasionally loud noises in the area so I went on with my day as if nothing had happen.

Continuation of Macabre. I opened the rusty door, and I peaked inside the dark and dusty cabin. Even though the moon was at its fullest, its light couldn’t even freckle a glimpse of light into the pitch dark cabin. Eerie was the only word that came to mind, the only word in my mind, the only word that made sense. I put my left foot in, and instantly a cold shiver drifted down my spine.…
As soon as I put on the mask I lost my identity, and along with it, my comfort. Our group decided to intervene by having a masked figure stand out in a public space at night. The masked figure was handing out “Good Luck” cards to encourage people to do well on their final exams. We started with around ten cards, and after hours passed, we still had five. The masked man was being completely ignored even though he was trying to promote positive intentions.…
Well, I am not going to. It’s my duty to try to keep you alive. Have you thought about that how devastating that would be for your family? Yeah,…
They all wish you’d come back but you don’t and you won’t Still think nobody cares about you? Think again. Even if people don’t show it, they care about you, they love you.…
Draw a monster. Now, why is it a monster? My own mother was probably the best mother she could be. Not only because she loved me unconditionally, but because she knew what a poor example that her mother, my grandmother, taught her.…
