It was a brisk.. and breezy evening struck by twilight's magic in the evergreen forest of Kysland; the country of the enchanted forests of this strange... yet intimidating world. The twilight's moon glistened like a pearl in the sky's violet atmosphere. The shimmering and glistering stars looked like still snowflakes when a few dropped around Keira's feet. She smiled with a look of bliss, alone to herself as the other children hopped and played without a care in the world.. A moment they should…

Quickening my breath, I felt my lungs stop accepting the air that I gave to them. Sadly, I was never going to survive the agony of continuing on; . Suddenly, a random blonde haired girl about my age rushed passed me and many more runners followed her. I was losing the battle. Weighed down by the grass that tugging at my feet, I struggled to hold my head high and focus. It was almost too much to handle. The anxiety of being left behind weighed on me like a rope fastened around my neck hooked to a…

“Where am I at?” I asked. I had no clue where I was, I didn’t know what time of day it was or what day it was. All I know is that there was a little bit of sunlight coming through a crack in a wall. There were lots of walls it kinda looked like a maze, it smelled really bad, and it was freezing. I had no clue what happened. Then I got a random flashback. I was in my room and I heard my mom yell “HIDE!” After I heard her yell hide I ran into my hiding place that I go into to read and get away…

Storm brought his empty plate into the kitchen. He stood by the sink and watched Penny out in the patio. She was nodding her head as the plump astronomers from ANU were describing in great detail some event to Franchette. He could tell she was bored from the smiley mask she wore. She would politely chuckle at just the right time while they chatted on and on, endlessly, about friends, colleagues, and neighbours in Sydney and Canberra. He caught her eye as he walked past the open doors into the…

“So he can talk after all.” (page 120) is what the nurse said the moment Dally and I came in, after having Johnny slightly opening his eyes and faintly saying, “Hey guys.” I was so happy to see that despite Johnny’s body dying and falling apart, his soul was complete and full of the Johnny I always knew and loved. I quietly moved to the side and whispered to the nurse, “How’s he doing?” I knew that in that moment I was to expect the worst, but I just needed a hint of reassurance…

The griffin, all twenty-three of us perched on his back, skids to a stop in the same woods that were my refuge after Henry. We clamber off. The bird coos before shrinking to the size of a normal bird, then stretching—this time in the shape of Ari. “All right.” I channel my inner general. “You see that section of the building jutting out—just past that rock, with the red bricks? That’s the section we’re gonna burn. You’re gonna burn, I mean. I say that because I’m going to the front of the…

“Uh, Shawn?” My teacher asked. “Yeah?” “The copier wasn’t working the best when I made the seating chart, see,” he flashed a piece of paper with student names and pictures on it at me, “and I think it may have cut off some of your name.” “No, I don’t think so.” I said. “Are you sure? Cause it looks like there should be something in front of Shawn.” “You mean like a De or La?” I asked sarcastically. “Well how should I know, it’s your name.” “I don’t have any prefixes or added letters in…

It was about 10 o’clock in our small town. I was with my friend Thomas going down to the local convenience store for soda. Nobody except us were around, everyone else in the town was at home or asleep. That’s when it happened. “Dude. Quit using your Batman voice!” “Not now Thomas! Besides, the Batman voice makes it sound cool.” “No it doesn’t,” Thomas murmured. “Shut up!” Anyway, I’m Nate Marshall and that’s Thomas, and this is our story. As I was saying, that’s when it…

It was like any other morning, she was still asleep in her bed in the nobles castle that stood quietly within the deep forest, next minute she was sleeping the other she got hit with a pillow full of feathers that flew all over the bedroom. She awoke in a meager angry mood after getting hit with a pillow, then being forced to stand up front waiting for a group of people that were meant to appear that day, she waited for hours nearly dark and no one showed. The next thing she did was to decide…

I had opened my eyes ,but couldn’t completely move yet. The only thing I could do was twitch and move my fingers. I just remembered waking up in a lab tied to a metal bed and looking at brains in jars and some chemicals. I also heard somebody say finally after two years I created it. I couldn’t speak ,but I could understand some of what he was saying. He told me that my name was lil pimp. He told me he was my creator. I reached my head up to look at my body ,but my fingers looked to crusty to…
