I don’t know what’s wrong with me, whether it’s the gloomy feeling inside which seems to press down until I feel like bursting, or that the shadows talk to me. Not in an I’m insane kind of way, but the way that several people have a discussion, sometimes all at once but other’s and these are the ones that can scare the living daylights out of people, but the one on on...

The sun was rising. They were ready. Everything was planned out. Their vehicle: a little wooden car resting on rail road tracks. Its engine was a large white sail they had found on their trip inside an old hut they were spending the night in. It had been a lot of work. And a lot of time. It had been two years now since they had left their homes forever to go to the place. They were lucky: this was...

It is dark. He cannot see. He can only sense the beat of his heart pumping blood through his shaking body - faster and faster. He tries to remember where he is but he can't. He is sitting on ground cold as ice stealing all his energy, all his life. He stands up. His head turns to both sides but he cannot spot anything through this deadly black. He starts to walk, very slowly at first, then steadil...

As natural as can be he lies there sleeping. Thick lashes fluttering with dreams, I wonder what he sees as those eyes go left and right, up and down. In the soft golden sunlight that peeks in through the drapes he almost looks like he has a halo, mussed up hair glowing in the morning's kiss. How had I stumbled upon such an angel? Careful to not wake him I run my hand along his back, his skin as s...

"It's Christmas!!!" I jumped up in my bed yelling. "Mom Dad wake up it's Christmas.""Okay, Okay." Dad said not wanting to get up out of bed."I wonder what I got for Christmas." I ran to the presents wanting to find out."Richard, we aren't going to open the presents until dad gets home from work." Mom said putting her slippers on."When's that?&...

It alone the memories of the hazy past were hurtful enough to bring me to my knees, imagine just what it was to come back to a reality with her. She didnt see pain, she fed on you; and she liked it. she said things that made your back tingle, and your skin would creep in goosebumps by the mere her prescence only. Being beautiful was unbelievable, being beautiful her trade. Her sin? Not having done...

“DAEMONS!” The cry rung outwards in the group, thunder booming in the sky and shadowed figures swooping down on strong, sweeping wings as big as a human. Their bodies were large, as big as three men combined – their claws burned with an eerie green flame as they ripped through the mens’ armors and into their soft flesh. The scarcely bui...

Somewhere/time in Nevada('cause its cool) "What?" The ragtag group stumbled up to the ground, swaying slightly. Suddenly, a flash appeared and an assortment of random weapons, from the strangest baseball bat to the largest oversized sword that looked like it belonged in a TV show, appeared in a flash of brilliant yellow-white light. "The hell is this?" one pa...

It was just about 7:00 when we woke up for the first time in our new home. We were forced to leave our old home back in Virginia by the KKK and forced to help with cooking, gardening, and cleaning around the white people’s house. We weren’t paid very much due to the dislike for us blacks. Mama was always cleaning, hardly having the time for sleeping. Papa was cooking while me and my br...
