  • You Can’t Have Your Cake… (Submitted by Juicy McBurger)

    You can’t have your cake and eat it too. I always thought this to be a silly statement. Upon reflection, however it makes a lot of sense. Once you eat the cake, it ceases to be. You no longer have it. You can’t have nothing. Whilst I’m sure this provides…

  • Brick by Brick

    Life is like a house. The walls are the foundations and are made of our core values. The doors are all the opportunities that come into your life. The windows are the visions you have. Having a house without walls means there are no boundaries to how people can treat…

  • Alphabetical

    Awesome!!! That’s great news about that new job you have. It suits you really well, Brittney. Boxes galore for when you move into your new house. That is not far away from happening. Chairs or couches for the living room? I reckon couches will be more comfortable for the family.…

  • Wishing Into the Crystal Ball

    A crystal ball in my possession. And it tells nothing but truths. This is a lot of power and I have it clasped in my palms. ‘What to ask, what to ask?’ I repeat aloud to myself before turning my attention to the crystal ball more prominently than before. The…

  • 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…

  • Watermelon Crush (Submitted by Squirmy Duck)

    What a great day, I think to myself as I sit under an umbrella on the beach. The sun is warm, the breeze is gentle, the sea air calming. There’s a bit of sand clinging to my skin, but it doesn’t bother me. The children are chasing each other up…

  • 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…

  • Sunshine

    I shine where I see fit. And I am always in communication with the clouds on Earth. Without rain, my rays are overbearing. Without my light, humans are lost without my guidance. In those few places where my rays don’t reach the entire globe of, they have many dark nights…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Shadows

    Shadows are always there even when not seen. Always around and there for us. Maybe Peter Pan was right, shadows have a life of their own. Like Peter, we might have to free ourselves from our shadow, or maybe it’s there to poke fun at.

  • 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…

  • Sinking Ship

    Going down into the ocean beneath. Screams echo out from my vessel into the depths of the vast and empty ocean I am surrounded by. I hear the whispers of the captain with his first mate. The first mate is pleading to the captain to admit he made a mistake…

  • 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…
