“Eclipse” by Alexis Klein

A luna moth flitted around Dr. Theoden’s head. “Yes, Eclipse. It is coming. We must work faster to get Ecenta ready. Will you bring me the wrench?”  Eclipse chirped, flitted over to a large red toolbox, and pulled open the drawer with her powerful green wings. Then, she pulled out a large silver wrench.  “Thank you, Eclipse. Are you ready to go meet Elizabet?” Eclipse chirped again, flying in a loopty loop. “Alright. Let’s go.” *** Elizibet rolled over in her gray comforter. Her sleep was becoming mo...

“A Helping Hand” by Alexis Klein

A loud clang rang through my house. “MOM! Someone’s at the door!” I yelled. My mom had been working in her office 24-7 recently. She’s a comic artist and she had started to draw constantly after Dad got sick and had to go to the hospital. I knew her mind was on something. She only drew this much when she was stressed. It sucks that I have to deal with that ALL DAY LONG. “Hon, do you mind getting it? I’m in the middle of a frame!” My mom’s voice called from the room next to mine. I rolled my eyes and stood up to get it. Prob...

“Trio Tales” by Alexis Klein

Part INoelle As I wait for my turn to present at the school Science Fair, I browse the other projects, looking for another of the same style. Yes! I thought, specifically looking for and not seeing any other projects about bacteria growth and gravity, or one or the other.  As I walked back to my project, I noticed a man in a black trench coat that appeared to be judging a boy I knew by the name of Elisha, who had done a project on gravitational pull impacting migration patterns in fish.   I realized I was...

“Starcounter” by Alexis Klein

Eiluned lay sprawled on the grass, her strawberry blonde hair making a wreath around her freckle-sprinkled face and golden eyes. She looked at the clear night sky and the stars above her. She knew that any night could be her last. War raged, hitting and slaying any person or thing in its way. Her father had left Ireland to go fight for the USA. By now, all of Asia was in ruins; Canada and America battled Europe, Africa, and most of South America. Eiluned’s father died because of a nuclear bomb in Brazil, where he had been deployed. Eilun...

“The Traitor's Portal” by Alexis Klein

Jamie awoke to a low humming in her bedroom. She looked around for the source, but couldn’t find what was humming. She decided it would be best to just silence it and address it later, which was a bit frustrating. She waved her hand, dissatisfied but not having any better ideas, and the sound stopped.  Since school had been out Jamie had spent a lot of time training herself and her friends at her treehouse and her late father’s house by the lake. Jamie was one of several teenagers that had been test subjects for a medicine th...

“The Ringkeepers” by Alexis Klein

“WHAT?! You’re telling me that NOW?! I’ve known you for how long? Nearly my whole  life! Seriously? Arg!” Jamie said. Her best friend, Chloe, had just told her that for ten years she had been hiding a huge secret.  Jamie looked at Chloe. “Ok, just to be clear, when you were 7, you broke your arm, and I somehow never even knew about it. When you were in the hospital, they used a practically untested solution to heal it and gave you a silver ring with a moonstone set into it.” “Yes,” Chloe said. “Yesterday Collin st...

“Griffin’s Journal” by Alexis Klein

April 4, 2020 I am still awake. It’s 12:30 in the morning and I just can’t sleep. This isn’t a first for me, but tonight is different. I can’t place my finger on why. I tried reading, but that didn’t work. I’m pretty sure I’ve solved and reshuffled my Rubik’s Cube a thousand times. I don’t know what to do. I keep spinning my lucky dime on my nightstand.

“Dungeons and Doorknobs” by Alexis Klein

It was spring forward, and I went ahead and set my clock forward before bed. I crawled into bed and laid down, waiting for sleep to come to me. After several hours of tossing and turning, I finally gave up on sleep. I pulled a book out of the large bookshelf next to my bed and started to read.* * * * *I woke up to a ...

“Tunnels to Nowhere” by Alexis Klein

I was looking around my new house one day when I saw something that struck me as unusual. How did this even get here? I thought to myself as I felt the seam around a door in the back of my closet. I tried to open the small, round door only to find that it was locked.  "If I were a key, ...

I'm just someone that enjoys writing and stumbled upon these prompts while using the name generator for a book I am working on. I value feedback in any form and would enjoy it if you gave me some!
