The dream started the moment Fianna eyelids softly touched, taking her back to the cliffs outside Taos. “Ah,” said the young blonde girl. “We can do things that you can’t. We’ll show you something even better than flying, to help you escape from the geese.” The rock face before them rumbled. Pebbles and dirt spilled from the top as a series of steps magically pushed outward from the mountainside. Fianna looked for her brothers. Other than the girls, she was alone. Quickly, she scaled the…

It was a warm and cozy afternoon, with the temperature reaching 75 degrees at max. The sun rays were still shining brightly, casting shadows across a wide field full of green grass. The sounds of various birds chirping can be heard clearly everywhere, and occasionally a butterfly would fly around, landing gently on the ever-fragile petals of the clarie flowers. Right next to the field was the woods of the Kaiboro Forest, a mysterious place full of never-ending clumps of trees(that was so an…

He slowly approached the road that seemed to stretch forever to the north and bent east after about a mile on the southern bound lane. He looked up at the power lines and followed them as far back as his eyes permitted. Squinting through the slight fog he could see the faint outline of the highland that he had been upon. He looked back at the sun-bleached, rotting road and sighed. Although he lived disconnected from society, he felt as if he connected to something else. He later realized that on…

Light flakes of pure snow drifted softly to the ground before slowly melting and joining the others in a small puddle at the doorsteps of buildings. The streets of Ba Sing Se were empty except for one, the man had on a green coat with a hat that concealed his face from the absent onlookers. Muted chatter could be heard from the houses, but their words lost to the one outside. The streets were light by fires concealed from the snow. The flames danced in their containers, casting shadows along the…

“Okay, two things.” My sister Sara says. “One, they’re not real. That photograph was obviously forged. Two, even if they did exist, they are not beautiful. My ancient mythology teacher said that people believe they were giant balls of fire in the sky that would burn things down on Earth.” “They were what gave it light!” I say, exasperated. My sister sighs. “Lea, the light comes from our moons. Stars do not exist.” I open my mouth to say something, but I know that no matter what I say, my…

the canvas rose up to the eerie tune of the winter air yet the peg was still on the ground with a piece of canvas trapped beneath it. As the wind picked up, the canvas floated along with it which revealed the barren landscape set against the unlit sky. The Doctor searched his home but saw nothing except for the emptiness of the hollowed earth and the imprints of where the phonograph used to be. Fear instilled in the Doctor until the sound of someone coughing resonated through his home. Angrily,…

sunset at the time. The sun lit up the sky, making it a golden pink. Life had definitely been a real challenge for me. I just wanted to live a decent life. At the start, it wasn't. I took a long time to progress to finally have something I haven't given up till this day. Though this is only where it started. The sunset made me feel comfort and warmth. I gazed into the beautiful sky. I never wanted to leave. I stared at the sky for about an hour. Eventually, the sky started to become a dark…

The wilderness is rarely a nice place. With all the animals trying to eat you, or just mosquitos. Some things never went your way, and it was truly survival of the strongest person around. But today, it was pleasant. Sun rays were shining and glistening through the leaves. It was morning. I slowly looked around, then got up. There was nothing attacking me like I thought it would, so that’s another thing to be grateful for. Consequently though, because I’ve never encountered anything yet, there…

The air was clouded with thick flakes of ash. The sky plagued with a death like grey shade. The once lively and beautiful city of Belgium, collapsed into a depressing scene of destruction and despair. There was no sign of life. The city was littered with gravel and bricks. Madeline opened her eyes and lifted the debris off of her dress. She stood up, and saw with a blurry vision. She was light headed and did not know what was going on. She started walking, taking in the destruction of her town…
