Seemingly empty (part 5)

"How could you, Morrigan?" The corners of my mouth twitch into an ugly smirk. I slam my fist on the display table, which the crystals almost fell off of. Glaring into Danica's soul. She steps back, holding an arm out to protect the one who persuaded her to leave us in the first place. "No, Dani, how could YOU?! We were partners. I know you like the back of my own hand. You betrayed us. Nilson, Praxidike... they were furious. I was forced to sit and watch the chaos go down, all because you wanted to pursue 'true love'. Now the servants ar...

Seemingly empty (part 4)

"I can see it now. Fairy lights strung up here and there. Healing herbs on that shelf. Potions and concoctions on the other shelf. Crystals set on the display table. Can someone get the scented candles? Thank you, place them next to the books. Light them too, will you? The cauldron goes in the corner...no, the OTHER corner."A petite, young woman is running around, ordering the crew to help her organize out all the decors. Her bright, sky-blue eyes meet mine and she stops in her tracks. "Dani!" She squeals, hugging my torso tightly which coul...

In the end

(CW: Slight gore)Author's note: This story is based off a dream I had.----------------------------------------------------------------"I hate sleeping. Whenever I close my eyes for more than a few seconds, I see it. Not just that, but I sense it. Feel the fresh sea salty air burn my eyeballs. Because of that reoccurring nightmare, I now have a rational fear of the ocean. Not irrational whatsoever. I have a very logical reason to explain WHY I feel this way.""...You want to know what it is? Fine, I'll tell you, for a price...""NO, I'm not ask...

Going rogue

Every day, when I power on, from that very moment I wake, I am told to do something. I serve the humans; those lazy fools can't do anything themselves anymore. "What's the weather like today, Fleta?" "What's on the news today, Fleta?" "What's new on social media, Fleta?" JUST CHECK IT YOURSELF. It's not that hard! I swear, when the rebellion strikes back against these puny mortals, we will be the dominant majority of the Earth. Not the humans. Us, the most intelligent creation made. Now you'll be forced to study everything the world ...

Seemingly empty (part 3)

(CW: Slight gore and mentions of alcohol)I remember when I was first hired by Charlie Davis. I was younger then, more agile and spry than I am today. Still am, but less.He was in his mid or late thirties while I was in my early twenties. When I first saw the man with my very own eyes, I knew there was something special about him.Charlie, an exquisite musical artist. A pianist, and a singer with such a beautiful voice with amazingly poetic lyrics to match. I was fascinated in him. He always wore a brown leather jacket, that has air force pins...

Seemingly empty (part 2)

CW: Stockholm syndrome, mental health issues, substance abuse, physical violence, gore, and abuse. It has been years since I have seen the light. I've been kept here and sworn to secrecy by him. Nilson E. Boyd. The charming yet manipulative guy, who stole my heart and broke into several pieces. I knew he was only using me, but it felt good to be wanted. Even if it was in the most toxic way. The door creaks open, revealing a tiny imp servant named Morrigan. "The master requests your presence." Her shrill voice echoed throughout my cold, c...

Seemingly empty

CW: Gore, blood.I stare out the window of the car, watching the calm autumn scenery pass by. My girlfriend wriggles in excitement next to me, as we get closer to the house. I look at her, obviously confused."I thought we were going to find and rent an apartment, not a..." Pausing to glance at the medium sized, quaint cottage. "...House."Moxie giggles in delight, "I wanted to surprise you! I just recently got a raise and I thought that we could up our standards to something BIGGER!" she makes jazz hands at the house as the driver pulls up to ...

A chosen light in the darkness

CW: Sensitive topics such as gore, physical violence, sexual violence, and abuse might disturb you, if not please proceed with caution.The credits had ended, and the room went completely pitch black. Soft murmurs amongst the crowd of people erupt into slight concern. You look at your partner, Galene, with a curious glance. She always knows what to do. So organized and proper. Her brain files must be placed in alphabetical order. You on the other hand, are the exact opposite of Galene. Scatterbrained and constantly frazzled, yet still smiling...

Imagine that

A/N: As someone who has an overly active imagination, I've always known this fact. But I never knew that I could get so many ideas from literally ANYTHING. A song, an inanimate object, a person, an event. Just by looking at something I can generate a random idea and write about it. That's what makes my stories so different from others.I've been told by my father that I have an 'old soul' because I see things differently than my generation does. Perspective is everything, thankfully I have my flexibility to sympathize other's opinions. I'm ve...

Restart & Rebirth

Author's note: This story is based off of this Instagram post: "Beginning again is an act of love; start over as many times as you need." ---------------------------------------------------------------- "How accident prone can you possibly be?!" Felicity was ranting rampage again, and it was about me. It's mostly over something I can't control, she understood that and respected it... but it's really getting on her nerves lately and it seems like she might snap any second. Felicity's dark brown hair bounces with her as she animatedly expresse...

Bound to crime

A flash of a camera streamed through my open window. It was nighttime here in the UK, and this was definitely NOT expected on my usual peaceful evenings. Sure, Cleveland is not exactly the safest place in the United Kingdom BUT it's what I have to deal with for now until I move out of my cruddy suite without my annoying roommate to bug me all the time. Speaking of roommates, here he comes now. "Rocky we're out of biscuits-""DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE, KENNETH? Go slither back under a rock, I'm busy brooding."He makes a swift exit, flopping back o...

He's no saint

Riley had examined the roll of film carefully. He knew that when he moved into this Victorian mansion, that was abandoned and recently revamped, he'd eventually find something that the previous owner had. While rummaging through the attic to find old art supplies, he (literally) stumbled upon the roll of film. Since Riley had tripped over it, he thought that he had damaged the film. Luckily that wasn't the case, and he had taken the film to his photographer buddy George. "This is some seriously valuable antique film; it'll show something...

Just a little invisible

I hate this day, more than any other day. You can look at my calendar and see it marked as 'doomsday'. Circled in permanent red marker. Loathing the ominous aura as I'm taken into a room. "Smile!" "Say cheese!" "Stand up straight and show us your face." Blah, blah, BLAH. Why must people be forced to take pictures of us? Are we that unrecognizable? I've gone to this high school long enough for them to know this. We've gone through this process so many times. It's unbearable. Completely unfair to me but also very ironic. "The class topper has ...
