  • Isolation Part 4 (final)

    I walk the ruined hallway, nothing but rubble. The prison is in a state of collapse, I figured a riot had taken place but it looks more like a bomb had hit it. I pass the guard post, the place were they control the cells from. He’s dead. A single…

  • Criminal Alibi

    ‘What the fuck is this about? I haven’t seen you in months and now the police want to bring me in for questioning. Whatever you’ve done, I want no part of. Jesus, you are stupid!’ The line is silent for a moment. Sean is lost for words and letting me…

  • Death Wish

    No one would care if I died. I don’t have the money or media attention to mean anything when I’m dead. Sure, my family may care for a little while, but who cares? I haven’t made a blip of a difference on this planet and I’ll go as if I…

  • Isolation Part 3

    I’m awake again, at least I think I am, it’s hard to tell, I have no idea how long I’ve been out for… It’s hard to tell, it could have been a day, it could have been an hour. Still nothing, no sound, no light and no food. I’m starving.…

  • Basement paradox

    I walk into the home that is so familiar, yet has changed drastically since I moved. The carpet is now grey instead of lavender. The walls are painted chrome with a feature wall of blue, and baby blue as well. The state of the house almost disgusts me, and it…

  • Isolation Part 2

    I wake up to silence, no faint conversations outside, no disembodied chuckles or cursing from other inmates on the other sides of my walls, just nothing. I’ve been in here for a week now, I think… I had to count the days back in my head, time seems to change…

  • Murder Reborn

    Another body and person to my name, not once caught. I am a genius serial killer and have even got the attention from the FBI’s most wanted list. Consider me flattered. I don’t know or care who they are. A number on a long list of people who pay me…

  • Isolation Part 1

    I deserved this, getting locked up, I honestly didn’t mean to kill that guy he just wouldn’t comply, “Everyone down on the ground!” The instructions were clear as day, I didn’t even give a thought to the idea that anyone would try to be a hero or try to defend…

  • Cultist Beliefs

    The more I learn, the more I see myself aligning my values with this group. Some may call it teenage rebellion, want to be separate to my parents and their way of life. I call it home. They believe with all their hearts, follow their dreams, treat others as equals,…

  • Closed Door, Open Door

    ‘When one door closes, another one opens.’ To you that may be inspirational to have yet another opportunity to walk into, but for me it is quite the opposite. When doors close, I am infinitely met by more doors opening up. An endless video game sort of Groundhog Day. I…

  • Hindsight From Death

    Looking back on life I have a lot of regrets. I never thought I would die with regrets. I even regret dying with regrets. I lost all the people I love and that loved me back. I wish I told more people how much I appreciated them being in my…

  • Bus Blues

    Years of marriage gone in an instant. The love of my life. I’m sitting at the nearest bus stop to home, attempting to get fresh air and process the news. I feel utterly alone that Brenda is gone, lifeless, and a million miles apart from me. I want to hold…

  • Rewriting memories

    You think this would begin like many stories with a book opening. ‘Once Upon A Time’. This is not that story. I was given this book from my grandmother before she died and told to never open it in the presence of others. It was a magic book. From the…

  • Before My Time

    I always tell my friends that I was born in the wrong generation. I would much rather live in the ‘80s than the current year, 2023. The music was better, the clothes were so cool, just everything about it appeals to me. I wish I got to experience the ‘80s…

  • Swapped Philosopher

    These are people that will hang on to every word that comes out of my mouth. I am carrying the weight of my credibility as this philosopher and all philosophers yet to emerge. Fuck, this is all a lot to deal with right now. I don’t know his past work.…

  • Dreamcatcher

    I am around. Floating. The things I see are insanely cool! Like I see all these stories come to life while she sleeps and I feel the emotion of disappointment when she loses the story. Then when she’s awake I try and give them back to make sure she tries…

  • Reader of Self

    This book continues to get more interesting as I read along! Seeing this character’s life fleshed out in such incredible detail is inspiring. Truly captivating! I see myself relating to the protagonist a lot. The author, P. Harrison really made a sympathetic and grounded character which I haven’t seen a…

  • It’s Just Like…

    “Hey, that sounds so cool, but do you know what it reminds me of? Have you seen the TV. show…” I zone out at the end of the sentence and don’t notice that my friend Jordan is still speaking. Dude, in the nicest way possible, shut the fuck up and…

  • On Death’s Door

    The doctors told me last night that I have only days left to live. My body is completely shutting down and I’m struggling to lift my hand up at all. I know I don’t have long. I regret not accomplishing more in my life. I always waited for life to…

  • A Death Too close to home

    Shit! I opened my feed to see news of Jayden McNorton dying in a head-on collision. I went to high school with that guy. It is so close to home that I worry about my own life. I drive down that road every day to work and it could have…

  • Power Hungry Boss

    My boss keeps nagging me about work. Well, really he keeps micromanaging me and my work. I’m doing fine, not making mistakes and I trust myself to get the work done. I am well and truly over the nonsense by now. Evan wasn’t always this stuck up and controlling, but…
