2005 singles

It was the autumn of 2015. The leaves were falling and changing colours rapidly. All the students huddled with their group of friends. Everyone was happy to be re-united with all of their friends, except for Racheal Marcone. Racheal had changed over the summer, but not in the best of ways. She had broken out in acne and put on a little weight. Her hair was in knots and she wore clothes that were baggy because of her low self-esteem. As she approached her friends from previous years, they…

I threw my Maroon MK bag onto my couch. Wiping the tears off of my face, I crouch down slowly and ball my eyes out completely. throwing my heart out onto the floor. There I was, just talking to myself. Reflecting what could I have done wrong. How I could have done this or that, or if I should have been there for him more, all of that crap. I started questioning my worth. Then a few minutes later crawling out of my fridge, you know. Having a couple of drinks. Bam, I was on my couch like an idiot,…

"Okay. Thanks, I'll be back in a moment" I say, as I scoot my chair out from the table, and stand up. Then, as I'm almost about to walk out of the kitchen. A question pops into my mind, I stop walking. I look over my shoulder back towards Zach, who's still sitting at the table. "Hey Zach, one more question. Do you prefer your kind to be called werewolves, or shape- shifters?" I ask. Zach looks towards me. "We go by either one" He replies. Now with my answer, I walk out of the kitchen.…

Making mistakes is better than faking perfection because at least when you make a mistake you are able to grow from it and it shows that you are actually human and not some robot created to do the same things everyday and lie to someone's face every single day about how great the world is when you know it's really not like…

I woke up to the sound of the invariable alarm as I do every day vroom, vroom,vroom. Even though my body was screaming NO, my mind knew that consistency was key to sanity. With pure self discipline, rummaging through my laundry in the dark, I got dressed and tiptoed my way out the door. It was so quiet, I’ve never seen the hallway so empty, it was creeping me out, I noticed as I went down the elevator to the gym. Oh god, let’s do this. I really want to go on the stationary bike so I can sit down…

5:00PM I stood in the heat patiently sighting for a silver Toyota with a bobble head dog sitting in the front. Here she is, pulling up ten steps away from where I stand. Somebody needs to have better parking accuracy. I dragged my heavy backpack and walked to the door with an exhausted smile. 6:32PM I had to reiterate for the third time of how twelve and twenty are two different numbers. The little dragon was defeated by a simple math problem. I bursted out laughing. He slammed his face on the…

A thick layer of sweat cascades from Seamus’ distressed face, as he struggles with Rey over his shoulder. Bumping into people and obstacles alike, Seamus moves with surprising haste considering the encumbrance. Caleb in tow, the three of them hurtle down Bagger's Alley. Stopping at a low khaki tent, Seamus ducks through bright door beads, Rey still on his shoulder. “Meridia git’ your stuff out, Seamus is back in town!” Seamus gasps for air. The weathered face of an old woman quickly darts out…

“There are dangerous creatures there, but they usually tend to be friendly.” Sabra said. Malessica raised a brow. “Tend? That’s not very reassuring.” “Ms. Kane, if you don’t feel safe, I can take you home now.” Malessica shook her head. “It’s okay Gerard, I can handle it. I don’t want to back down without facing the challenge first. I’m ready for this.” Isaac stretched his arms. “With Sabra around, I think we’ll be fine. I’m ready to go.” “Good. I’ll drive all three of us there I’m…

hear is your voice Why was I chosen when you weren’t given a choice? I will love you Bluebird In the dark after the sun falls down And I will love you Bluebird In the light when the stars all drown And I will love you Bluebird Every hour of every single day And I will love you Bluebird Till we all fade away It’s too cold even when I’m in my warmest clothing Hard to deny the feeling of good old’ self-loathing When I end up dreaming it’s just your hands Why’d you let go of my, why can’t I…

Chapter One: The Maze One day, Bob and Dave were walking home. “A maze!” Dave cried. “Can we go?” Dave asked. “Okay, Dave!” Bob exclaimed. “But first we have to pay.” “Okay,” Dave sobbed. They paid ten dollars to get in. They went straight. They looked back; the way in wasn’t there. “It’s-it’s gone!” Dave yelled. “But we just took ten steps!” Bob yelled. Then two hands popped out and grabbed Dave. “Waa!” Dave yelled. Bam, bam! Bob shot two lasers at it! Plonk! “A banana!” Dave yelled. “Why…
