The Main Character

Category: Human

  • Mirrors Can’t Cry

    I hate the reflection that shares back at me each day. That guy is always judging me on everything. My appearance is too pudgy and pear-shaped, there are eye bags and wrinkles that increase in size. I despise everything that guy stands for. He shows me all except the emotion…

  • We Must Breakup

    “I can’t let you say no to this – to us! It may be your instinct to run away and leave this all behind, but do you see me running? I’m here fighting for a future. For us. I’m doing ALL THIS FOR YOU!” My voice started rising in the…

  • Minimalistic Lifestyle

    I’ve heard good things about minimalism and I’m even considering doing it myself. I got to get rid of belongings that don’t serve a purpose or aren’t absolutely necessary. I have gone around the house finding plates, cups, paintings, photos, movies, clothes, and books and added them to a pile…

  • Dressing Room Star

    I am anxiously sitting in my dressing room and waiting for someone to come get me. I seriously don’t want to miss my performance of a lifetime. Geez, where is this superstar treatment? They approached me to have me featured on the Pajama Party TV Show. Man, the silence of…

  • A Deathbed Letter (Submitted by Juicy McBurger)

    I know that I don’t have long left to live. I should be resting, but my mind is racing. I can feel you watching me, anyway. Even now, when you are supposed to be resting. Recharging your batteries, as I myself am. You are like my guardian angel. If resting…

  • Feeling Stuck (Submitted by Dreadnatius)

    In this town I sit rotting away while time passes, day after day… the same repeating routine. The ever creeping threat of a mental breakdown tapping on my shouler whispering horrible things. The voice talks about my past… my childhood, there’s no distraction strong enough anymore, the thoughts I have…

  • Magic Fingers

    “Magic fingers do your thing, type what’s happening.” For the first time in my life, nothing happens. My fingers are paralysed above my keyboard. This has never happened to me before and now it’s stressing me out. I have a deadline to hit for my assignment, bloody hell, it’s due…

  • Locker Room Spirit

    Nothing gets me more excited for a game than the smell of the locker room full of guys getting hyped. The smell of sweat dripping off each man, the energy drink cans scattered in different corners of the room, the communal goal of winning the match, the adrenaline pumping through…

  • Imprisonment (Submitted by Savannah Rowe)

    Imprisonment. It’s not a new concept for me. I’ve already spent 100 years locked in the ever-twisting halls of Helm’s Hold Sanatorium. What’s a week in some dingey, musty dungeon. My chains rattled and clinked as I shifted onto my knees and my gaze lifted to the moonlight filtering through…

  • Bad Text Friendship

    Another message from (%$^@&@!). They haven’t stopped messaging me today, which is odd because it is so out-of-the-blue. They probably want something from me. I am reading them but I’m not responding to any of them. It was one-sided well and truly before this point. I would have bent over…

  • Therapy Bill

    My parents used me as a child for their free therapy, and I also was their dumping ground for their problems. Now I’m older, I want to deliver them the bill they owe for their sessions, especially since therapy has become my career path. My parents still try to approach…

  • Passionate yet Underqualified

    I love cooking at home. I have so much fun with experimenting with recipes. My friends believe I should start my own cafe or restaurant or something along those lines to share my food with more people and make a little extra money for myself. I totally want to, I…

  • Thoughts or Nightmares

    I wish I could lay in silence. My brain never shuts the fuck up! I’m constantly fighting my inner dialogue or I’m keeping myself awake long into the night or embarrassing myself all over again from the time I said that really dumb comment seven years ago. My brain is…

  • Ongoing Expense

    I stopped going to the gym two years ago, never had a routine or a plan, never felt I could put any mass on. I don’t know how to workout or eat right, I didn’t realise I need to, I thought if I purchased a membership I’d just end up…

  • 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…

  • 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.…
