Under my blankets, I felt safe and secure. As if nothing could touch me here. The silk from my bed sheets was soft and smooth across my skin, hugging me in its warm embrace. Terrified, I couldn’t move and heard a knock at the door. Heart pounding in my chest. I leapt from my bed and went to dry my eyes as I hollered “Come in” and heard the door click as a guard entered my room. “Prince Cyrus, you’re wanted in the throne room. Your King father has summoned you.” My heart dropped to my stomach.…

Trailer Tromping up the wooden steps of our trailer, light blue paint chips off under my shoes. I swing open the front door and see the living room. Memories of family members sleeping over and birthday parties fill my mind. Carpet a light brown color, wallpaper that was at first white, but faded with age. The large TV takes up most of the room, along with the couch and leather chair. I turn left and see the dining table. At the end is a large, brown cabinet made for storing plates and other…

It was 3am in the morning. She was cold, pale, still. She was dead. In the speed of a heartbeat my mother was gone. Her mind was strong, but it had been her body that failed her. It’s been one year since her death and I have gone into this deep depression. I am trying to fight my anxiety, but not succeeding at all. I am alone and I think about her everyday. I have been seeing someone, in my dreams, on my walks in the woods, even in my house. She wears an all black dress and has an umbrella,…

Detainees on death line are called "living phantoms" and their phones are smaller than those of whatever remains of the jail populace. On death column, three or four detainees might be kept in every cell, which contains one toilet pail and is inadequately ventilated. Passing line detainees are shackled to a long shaft all together of execution date, with the primary closest to the entryway. They are not allowed to leave their phones aside from amid visits, which are occasional. Their concrete…

The photo “Mermaids Hate Plastic” by Benjamin Von Wong features a vibrant color scheme. The extremely bright blue and green colors help to lead the viewer's eyes to the mermaid laying on the floor. On a first glance the clash of the blue and green against the neutral tan color create an elegant background for the mermaid laying on the floor. The mermaid is colored with a very bright orange and violet to draw the eye of the viewer to the mermaid. Bottles create a illusion of an ocean, but upon…

the man who works for the seven-eleven on the corner he still wears his white hen apron every morning and this morning in particular, it’s slow, so to pass time he decides to draw a picture of himself from the cosmic perspective underneath the counter, behind coffee filter replacements and confiscated counterfeits he untangles some yellow, wide-ruled notebook paper folds it, flips it horizontally and on the right end he writes “hyperbole north”, and near the left end he writes “hyperbole south”,…

If I squinted and held the paper at just the right angle, I could make out a faint outline. The outline said ‘Help’. It had the initial F and L. This person, whoever it is, was in trouble. I looked around the deserted house for other clues. There was a fine layer of dust over the furniture in the room. There were even footprints where i came in. I hoped I wasn’t too late. I ran my hands along the chest of drawers. Nope, nothing there. I walked over to the bed. A spider scuttled out of the doona.…

Vesta was a sixteen year old teen, she had bright green eyes with flame red hair. Her hair was up, so it looked like her head was on fire. She also wore a black mask on the bottom half of her face, the mask connected to the black leather vest she wore all the time, except during sword practice. Underneath her vest was a black tank top that showed a great deal of cleavage. today Vesta also wore black jeans with her usual black combat boots and studded belt. Vesta was walking out of the dojo she…

PM 11:37, October 6, 2015. After I came out from library, I walked on Bascom Hill. I pulled out my earphones and tried to feel the environment. Contrast to bright and noisy State Street and Wisconsin State Capitol, where I could see in distant, where I was covered with darkness and silence. There was a just a little light from streetlight, and only yellow and green leaves are glowing near that streetlight As I sit down next to biggest tree and feel the cushion of lawn, I found out there are not…
