Alex did what he was told and stood in front of the mirror sheepishly. “Your body is perfect for what we’re going to do,” Emily said with a sly smile. “Your body is a little paler than ours but just as thin and athletic, your ass and legs look like they might belong to a supermodel, and your brunette hair is a little longer than ours too,” Jenny elaborated with a few complimentary gropes of Alex’s ass. “And your face is admittedly pretty and unusually feminine for a high school senior. Your…

The female padded quickly across the frost bitten plains, her paws occasionally skidding across small pools of ice. Her black fur clashed harshly with the brown and tan of the surrounding blades of long, springing grass. Slowing her pace, she rounded a nearby bend that led between two collapsed stones with the scent of old prey. Dropping her head, she sniffed about the area. A quick climb here, a twist there and she had managed to follow the trail. Unfortunately, it was old and stale and led…

"Taxidermy Massacre" "No, my dear," she said. "Only you." Billy ran upstairs into his room on the third floor, ready to go to sleep because he was too freaked out to listen to the landlady anymore. He ran up the stairs, and all anyone in the house could hear was , "THUD, THUD, THUD!" Once in his rented room, Billy let out a very high-pitched shriek. He paced around the room, wondering what he could do to get out of this mess. That's when he caught a sight of stuffed Christopher Mulholland…

I looked out over the ocean and all I saw was a brilliant shade of a light sea blue and it took my breath away. I turned to look at Shay and I saw he was watching a little screen to my left. It looked like the topography under the water. “Why don’t we go have some fun?” Shay whispered in my ear and my heart fluttered. Shay and I climbed down from the top and Bender took our place instinctually. “Go change into your bathing suit, babe. Let’s have some fun!” Shay said and started blowing up the…

t would be a lie to say that Gilbert did not struggle with his mental health during the years following his diagnosis. Depression kicked in, prohibiting him from enjoying going to the gym; it became a chore after a few months. He hardly laughed anymore, in fear of collapsing, potentially harming or embarrassing himself in front of his peers. Shortly after his graduation, Gilbert took up smoking: it was his only escape from the anxiety of falling asleep on the street. After one cigarette a day…

With my arms on my knees and my head on my arms, my dad tapped my arm three times. He whispers with excitement in his voice. “Hey, hey Molly. I saw some movement.” I lift my head up and look to see if there was a deer. “Just wait.” His voice said again. A small doe started to walk in from the left. There were some trees in the way so I didn’t really see it at first. It took some slow long steps toward the bait pile. She put her head down and started eating corn. She lifted her head up to look to…

Everyone had their escape, and Grayson was no different. Instead of dealing with more headache and squawking financial advisers, he opted to have his captain ready the extravagant yacht to set sail. Departing from his home (which will be described later) in Miami Beach, the boat cut through the crystalline waters en route to tropical paradise further south. Grayson found comfort in the hum of the on-board motors beneath the ship, the sound of the waves breaking across the navy colored hull, and…

“If both samples were similar enough to one another, then I could immediately rule out starving them to death. A single creature could cannibalize itself, the heal damage until the natural end of its lifespan. If they have a natural end point to their lifespan. The most direct route would be to immolate the entire quarantine zone. But that’s not considering their mental structure-” “Mental structure,” Alois repeated as his eyes grew wider. “What do you mean by that?” The Professor shook the…

The war ended long ago, but nobody told us. Henriquez had been injured in our last supply run, and it has been weeks since our last hope of rescue. Resources are little to none, and we are beginning to fear that our next detour might be our last. As we walked the desolate streets of the once named city of love, I could feel a chill in the air, the wind whipping at our sides. The blue sky then disappeared into a deep grey ash as the dust began to surround us. “Clear out!” “The building’s…

I woke up around 7 p.m to a mysterious sound coming from my window, so I called my friend, Gilbert. “Hey, Gilbert,” I whispered, “Can you come over to my house? I keep hearing something, and I don’t know what it is.” He got here and after we called Robert. We went outside to where my window was and nothing was there I was horrified. We went back inside, Robert, Gilbert and I were talking about what we were going to do today. We thought about going to north central park around 12 a.m. Time…
