2007

I didn’t know where I woke up. The bed sheets smelt like wet cigarettes and old beer. A small room with fading pink wallpaper appeared as my bloodshot eyes focused. I was in some roach motel I didn’t recognize. The Bag! Cold panic hit me like ice water. The leather travel bag was sitting in the armchair. I sighed in relief. There was a pack of smokes on the nightstand. I reached over for them—it was empty. Lousy luck is all I’ve had since I took on this assignment. The thing that drove me bat…

For as long as I can remember, I have had a burning desire to earn my bachelor’s degree, a goal which has been set for countless years. My future goal is to complete my bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in math and English, with the ultimate goal to teach algebra at any level between the seventh and tenth grades. My eighth grade algebra teacher helped me achieve an understanding of algebra that I never knew existed, instilling in me a desire to pass on an understanding of and an excitement…

Arata POV: Kouen was one of the people I knew. My face heats up seeing him, I'm still quite embarrased from out encounter earlier. I move my eyes to the other two men in the room. I assume they are all brothers, their appearances are quite similar, which would also mean they are princes of the empire as well. The three of them were sitting at a large table studying whatever literature is in front of them. As Judal and I walk forward. Their attention turn towards us. Judal casually waves at…

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,…

"I want to cry..." I told my friend and she got frowned. "What's wrong dear..? Are you OK?" was her immediate reply. "Yes, everything is probably fine. I just want to cry without any reason." "No.. There must be something wrong. What are you hiding from me?" "Nothing. It's just that I badly want to cry. Is it necessary to have some reason?" I asked. "Ummm yess I suppose otherwise why would anyone choose to cry?" was her another question. "Don't you smile without any reasons at times?" I was…

*Thud*, the sound of my school books being dumped on the cold, hard hallway floor., Book after book they fall where I lay on the floor. The school bell rang a high pitch ding and they all ran off to class. I sit myself up and sit in the hallway as people walk past. “Timmy! Wakeup, it’s your first day at school. Come down and have your breakfast. Hello, I am Timmy it’s my first day of school at my new school. I have been to 2 other schools and this is my 3rd school. I’ve been to Maple Leaf School…

A man was walking on a road, as we was distracted by the hustle bustle happening around him we suddenly tripped over and fell on his face. He stood up with bruises and a hurt ego. Staring at him was a stone in the middle of the road, he dusted himself off and continued on his way. Next day he was coming on the same road and at the same spot he tripped and fell on the road, it was the same stone that he saw yesterday. This time he got angry cursed the stone and continued on his way. The next day…

Prologue It only took a moment. Only a heartbeat. Only a single scream. Only a moment, before two lives were lost, a spirit trapped on earth and one girl to be both granted a gift and damned with a curse in the blink of an eye. It took only a second, for a life to change forever. It took only a second, the world to end. And Adeline’s, ended in a single moment. The air was warm on her pale skin as she breathed in the smell of cold rain falling from the gray sky above, the moon…

Cormac’s Cocoa Café Wanda reached her room without saying roughly anything to Toby, Kate or even Aunt Maggie as she used to do. She entered her room and shut the door. She tossed the bag into the corner of the room and hopped into the bed, sighing. There were loads of things happened today at school, even though it was just small matter, it was actually draining her energy. “Meow!” “Ahh!” she let out a small scream as the appearance of Albus scared…
