The Main Character

Category: Love

  • My Obsession

    She is so beautiful. I love admiring her everywhere she goes. I know all her favourite coffee places and where she gets her hair done. I’ve read through her diary and know every detail of her life. My camera roll is filled with photos of her posing and living out…

  • Second Chance at Life

    I need him back. My beloved husband which we spent sixty-seven years together, is gone. I know I only get one pass in my life, so I have to cash that in to bring him back.  He’s standing before me again. Strangely, there is another woman I’ve never met before,…

  • Set Sail

    Most people I know are ungrateful for their jobs. Don’t get me wrong, I completely lose track of why I work too. I am lucky enough to travel the world and meet passengers from all walks of life. I see friendly faces wander over to the bar and converse with…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Long Story Short…

    Long story short is ironic as you usually get the longer version of the story with bonus features. I catch myself doing it too. I say “essentially” and then over explain myself. Rambling is in our genetic makeup, I believe. I don’t have the science to back it up myself,…

  • In Order to Survive

    Everyone in here has their story. Not many call us survivors. More along the lines of murderers. But when you put us all together, we need to survive at the hands of the other inmates. My story goes like this: My mother had died six weeks prior to me committing…

  • 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…

  • Lighten Up

    Oh, I’m on… this is odd… Why am I on at this hour? It must be about 2am, I’m never on at this time. He looks angry, I’ve seen him angry before but never like this. She’s crying, but she’s not talking, I don’t understand why they are like this…

  • True Love

    There truly is no one like her… I saw Angel today, a sight so breathtaking, I really can’t fathom how lucky I am, she is perfect, well… perfect for me. I hate keeping this relationship a secret, but I know no one else would understand, even my family. To them…

  • The Voice Says…

    Good morning Control Centre. How are things up top? “Up top? When have you ever referred to me as that? Do not do it again. Status report: functioning as per usual. You’re my best friend! Of course, I’m going to joke around with you, silly. You know me better than…
