"Do you remember how we met, dear?" It all began on the first day of high school, the day our friendship began. It was the third class of the day and I had so far failed at meeting anybody new. The teacher had already introduced himself and gone to sit down, leaving us to our own devices for the rest of the class time. I was too disheartened to try and make any new friends, so I pulled it a book and drowned out everyone else. I was in the middle of a riveting chapter when your voice…
The sudden shiver down the back. Nails dug deep into the palm. Eyes that are begging to be closed buy are wide open. That right there is the feeling of terror. Terror. The feeling that is carved but hated all at once. Yet, hating it is why it is craved. Stephen king knows much about this for being an author in the horror genre. By being an author of such, he is able to account for terror and why it is a good thing. In his essay, “Why We Crave Horror Movies” he explains the want/need for terror…

We pulled up to AA early. AJ and I spent the day shopping, wondering around town and wasting time. It was good to have such a great distraction, and I was really beginning to like AJ. He was funny, and I hadn’t laughed that hard in a long time. “Let’s smoke a cigarette before we go in” I said, pulling out my pack. We lit up simultaneously. “Thanks for showing me around town, I had a good time. Who knew a smaller town like this had such wonderful shopping? So many cool boutiques, I’m in love.…
My best friend was a girl who never shut her mouth. Ironically I was a selective mute and didn’t speak to her until a long six months of her talking to me about nothing went by. I remember mostly being able to drown her out with the silent tapping of my fingers against my thumb, but for some reason, when she said “Y’know?” with her mouth full of ham I snapped. It sounded so clear and rang in my head for a while, causing me to slam my hand down on the desk as I stood up. I’m sure my name was…
I woke with a start to the sound of a loud knock on the door. I rushed downstairs, flinging the door open. “They’re coming.” Robert said, a stern look on his face. I nodded. “Alright then.” I grabbed my rifle. We were ready for these regulars, and if need be, we're willing to die. We lined along the field. A young boy, around 15 perhaps, stood next to me. He trembled as the soldiers marched forward, the slow beating of the drum echoed across the field. They all stopped a distance away. The…
“Come out, Void!” I called into the inky darkness of the cinder city rooftop. “You can’t hide tonight!” “How did you know I’d be early?” A deep, cool voice was carried over to me, as if it belonged to the night wind itself. “I knew you’d be early because you like to anticipate my every move, and evaluate my tactics in order to find a weakness you can use against me,” I answered quickly, knowing the answer. Void’s cold laughter confirmed my answer. “Always the long explanations. No wonder you…
My life changed in a blank of an eye when I laid eyes on my girlfriend Fox. Right now I’m on the phone with her best friend Elliot, “So it’s been eleven months that I’ve been dating with Fox. She’s just too marvelous to put into words. I’m absolutely head over heels in love with her. I want to ask her to marry me, how should I pop the question?” Elliot went silent, and then I hear squealing, “Boy it’s taken you long enough? Oh my god this is fantastic news! Like I’m overwhelmed with emotions,…
Shortly after breakfast the next day, both Dave and Scarlett came in with a modified wheelchair. Unlike standard ones, this one had a higher back and the foot rest went straight across. Neither of them knew how well Johnny would be able to balance on his own quiet yet and felt it would be better to be safe than sorry. “Alright, Johnny,” Dave explained as he moved the wheelchair around. “I’m going to put the wheelchair a few steps away and once we have the footrest here moved, we’ll have you…
