Predictable Storylines
She didn’t know what was about to take place, but I knew. I had known it all along. I have seen this story play thousands of times and they all end the same. This little girl is going to be bullied in school and it leaves her to face the…

Shattered Mirror
The mirror across the room isn’t completely broken although you can see the cracks of it. What reflects back to me is not quite familiar, not quite strange. It still does the job you expect it to, it just isn’t the same as it used to be. The shattered glass…

Social Alien
Although I have the same flesh and bones and blood as others of my kind, I stand alone. I got no friend, and if I did none of them would understand me. I barely comprehend what I am myself. I’m alienated from the rest of this world. I’ve tried to…

Deathbed Regrets
When looking back on my life, while the last breaths in me escape, I think about all the people who were part of my life. So many encouraged me with warm words, many giving me a gentle smile as they passed by, a lot of attention, and more love than…

Fading Into the Crowd
It is so easy to fade away into a crowd. We all fade in and out of existence. Some call it standing in a crowd or being a stranger to those around us. We live invisible lives in the public eye but it doesn’t exclude our private lives. Friends forget…

The Battle (Submitted by Kid Valiant)
“CAPTAIN! THEY’RE GAINING ON US! WHAT DO WE DO?!” I yell out, awaiting a response. Impulsively, I run away to gather any loot & weapons I can in order to prepare for the attack. My hands are sweaty, my breaths are getting real heavy. “USE WHATEVER WEAPON YOU HAVE. THEY’RE…

Cactus Longing
The sands are barren. There is nothing within my field of vision. The sun beams directly onto me and it can get quite warm. I have to store my water supplies and ration them out carefully. In the rare chance it rains, I store the water within my body for…

Astrology after Death
The laptop closes after I finish doing some more online shopping. My basket was filled with herbal medicine, hair dye, grey led pencils, and tarot cards. It seems to be everything I had on my list of things I wanted to buy for today. The pencils I already have sit…

Footsteps (Submitted by Juicy McBurger)
It was the sound of tiny feet padding across the carpet which woke me from my slumber. I smiled. My little girl woke me up this way most days. “Daddy!” she exclaimed as she jumped into bed to give me a cuddle. I squeezed her back. “Are you ok? Your…

Concentration
My teachers tell me every day that I need to concentrate in class. My parents yell at me for not listening to them as I’m not making eye contact. Then when it comes to sitting down and doing my homework, I yell at myself in my head to sit still…

Like Eyes to the Soul (Submitted by HullaBaloo)
Solitary stands the figure in the room before me. Judgment cast, contempt within its wandering eyes. Chastened by the sight of me: my grim complexion, my skin weathered and worn. Its face contorts uneasily. It holds no reservations, nor any such concessions. It Hates. So Unforgiving is the hatred born…

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…

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…
