Doosti can not catch me. My spaceship is faster than his. I can run and hide from him all night and far into the universe to escape being caught. There are about forty-seven of us running and chasing each other across the sky. Doosti is currently ‘it’ and the rest of us are zooming off.…

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 truth about anything I want…

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 guard, injured badly and expired,…

I have the bathtub running as I plug my shaver into the power point. The person in the mirror is a shadow hidden behind the faces of those facing death every moment of the day. They change and pass by me quickly in vivid blurs. I see and hear everything all at once and some…

I hate the city. The size, the smell, the brands, the pretentious architecture, and most of all; the people. I’m such a fish out of water here, the one person not in on the joke, the outsider. Perhaps it’s because I grew up as a simple farm boy. My responsibilities were to the horses, the…

‘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 scream at him. I can’t…

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 and down, chubby little things…

There is only one thing you can do with a degree in philosophy, and that is teach philosophy. The warning of my late parents echoed in my head. Turns out they were only half right. I can’t teach anything without a teaching degree, so I actually can’t do anything. Except philosophise, which normal people refer…

The time of day is off the clock, I feel like my lunch is eating me, I need to fuel up my push-bike and get promoted at unemployment. The sky came falling down tomorrow, and this water tastes like chicken, the traffic is jammed on an upside down footpath and my sprinkler system is burning…

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 was never here to begin…

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. I pull myself to my…

All this blood on my hands, from crimes I never committed! The terrors that haunt my sub-conscience through the early hours of the morning, when the world is still dark. The streetlights beneath my apartment illuminate my room, barely. The screams wail in my ears of victims I’ve never met. I’m not a great sleeper.…
-
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 horrifies me they changed what…
-
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 speed when you’re all alone,…

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 to carry out their sweet,…
-
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 the bank, I mean, we…

Have you ever seen a wolf in sheep’s clothing before? Neither have I. I have not ever seen an elephant dressed as a giraffe, a monkey dressed as a cow, or a wolf dressed as a sheep. I overheard a human once say that someone was a ‘bull in a china shop’. You might find…
-
I slowly blink my vision into focus and open my eyes ever so slowly. The lights are fixated on me, and the room is small. Perhaps that has something to do with the number of long white coats I can see lining the walls, clipboards in hands. I could easily collapse back down on to…
