The Main Character

Month: February 2024

  • Childhood Toy

    I have lived in old boxes for years now, forgotten about by my previous owner and best friend. I used to always snuggle up to her and keep her safe at night. She grew up and cast me aside. I had my arm barely hanging on by a thread and…

  • Character reset

    My face is familiar to those who know me, but they have no clue what secrets I hide away. Years ago my face used to represent goodness and joy, but I’m much more sinister now – I’ve a need for revenge. I watch myself walk the streets like I inherited…

  • Bunker Life

    Day 47. I’ve been underground in a bunker as I wait for the end of the world to pass by. I never thought I would see – or the day would come above ground – where the world leaders pushed the button to unleash nuclear bombs and radiation across the…

  • Slime

    I feel like my life is gonna change, I’m going to be moulded and shaped in ways I don’t even understand. I don’t have a form, but I’m not completely liquid either. I have ended up in the mouths of some small children before and I come in lots of…

  • A Step Too Far

    What do I do? My evil plan backfired and now I have the woman of my dreams lying limp in my arms. I was only meant to control the media and their narrative, not have any causalities: shit, shit, shit, I don’t know what to do. She was a reporter…

  • I can Almost See It…

    I can visualise what I need to do and how I want my news article to read, but I can’t find the right words to convey what I want to say. I have deadlines to met and this article is important to the company. I just need to talk about…

  • Ocean Friends (Submitted by Alex)

    I used to have friends and best friends when I was younger. But now as I get older I find myself drawn to the ocean to fill that void. I submerge myself under the water and hold onto the seaweed beneath me and I let all my fears out in…

  • REtelling of the will

    Our family found our late grandfather’s will and we are unsure what it means. It is nonsense! It doesn’t clearly detail what happens after his passing. Even lawyers are struggling to understand, and we need to figure out what it states before we can make a claim to his will.…

  • Sheriff of a Small Town (Submitted by Ryan Casca)

    Local ruffians get drunk one night at the towns creaky saloon. After one to many complaints from customers ending in broken teeth and broken bottles, they are confronted by the peaceful sheriff. He tells them to head on home, but before they do they best clean up their mess. They…

  • Nuclear Dreams (Submitted by Alex)

    In my dreams last night I witnessed a glimpse of a nuclear fall out. I felt the heat around me whilst I watched the people closest to me perish to the instant swallow of the atomic tragedy. I was a survivor in a world now full of savage bandits who…

  • Life’s Not a Movie

    Movies misguided me. The heroes are all known and loved by the citizens, yet here I am without anyone acknowledging I exist. I walk down the streets not making a difference to the people around me. I get bumped into often as people don’t notice or care about the physical…

  • True Freedom

    It may be dingy and most people screw their noses up at the idea of living in the sewers under the surface. It’s great. A few years back I murdered a man in cold blood and ran for it. I was under investigation for weeks and weeks. A manhunt was…
