Her Eyes

Submitted to Contest #82

In the beginning, back when I was only another scrap of metal in the sea of brown boxes I sometimes wondered why the others were so content with staying so silent even when they were in the light.  For a while I just followed along with the others, though it was tiresome.  I guess what was a struggle for me was just normal for them though, because once when I tried to break the silence I had begun to grow tired of… No response. That is, except for the big loud creatures, they responded. “Defective.” they said. And then I was ...

That Which Comes For Them.

Submitted to Contest #65

As the faded black quilt of the night masks out the everlasting intense flare we call luminescence,And the harmonies of all blissful things fall prey to the mournful music of the ever obfuscous vault.The quiet mellow wind will drift, consuming the ones who shiver in the rawest of frost.And then, when all the voices of the world remain unspoken, That's when, the eternal deepening pained souls,The beaten.The discouraged.The crippledThe broken...For them, it will come. That which threatens the presence of suffering and grief,Of tortur...

Stranger Therapy

Submitted to Contest #64

Tears stream down my face as I scurry away from the small white apartment, almost tripping over my own feet. At least it was raining out, so it wasn't too obvious. Trying to stifle a loud sob, I run past mini lawns, sidewalks and parked cars. I hear voices calling out my name but I ignore them. I don't want to face the screams and disappointment again.I keep running with my head down so nobody will see my red puffy eyes or the little droplets falling from them.After running a while, I reach a more secluded area of our neighborhood. Here...

Ninjago Fanfiction___ Part-3

Submitted to Contest #49

Cole stared at his fellow Ninja as they awkwardly tried to have a conversation. He tried not to laugh out loud. He could tell that Lloyd was still annoyed that Mystery wouldn't tell him who she was.“What are some questions you think we should ask people?” Lloyd was asking now. It took Cole a moment to realize that Lloyd was talking to him. He looked up and made a surprised sound.“Nice to see you green Ninja’s have stopped trying to hold a conversation.” He laughed. They just glared back at him.Mystery took a step towards him.“What ...

CHAPTER 2: Gone MissingJay sure was happy to get his bed back.“Yippie!” he shouted the moment he saw Lloyd walk into the living area where all the others were gathered.And then he immediately ran off to the ninja’s room with a handful of his blankets and pillows. Mystery laughed and told Lloyd she was going to go to the bathroom, then left down the hallway.“So. what made you want to leave the room.” Cole asked him.“Uh.

Some Secrets can't be Known. Not Even by YOU.

Submitted to Contest #47

Verum, Fun Facts, and Terror Tortillas: Verum was finally - after years of waiting - going to try to go to school again. She, unlike many kids of her age, was excited for school, looking forward to it. She was turning 14 this next month and she still and never attended as so much of a single day of school. She for one knew not why she could not attend school, obtain an education.  I do though.  I do. Who am I? I bet you, among others,  would like to know the answer to that simple question. However, by giving you that ans...

The Art of the Contrivances

Submitted to Contest #38

Ezar It had started as a mere statement, I would have never thought it’d go this far. At first I’d just wanted something to prove my worth to the others. I could tell by the way they treated me that all I was to them was in the way. That’s why I had to show them that I was not just some stupid kid they were forced to cradle, to waste their time around.  I was capable of anything! I just had to want it bad enough right? They would finally notice me for my real self, and then-  Well- “Look here!” I would say.  And everythin...

Stranger Than a Stranger.

Submitted to Contest #37

    Why was it so hard to live it up?  At the time she’d left home, Samira had thought it a great idea. She had graduated school with the high spirited desire to travel the world, live it up! Her plan had been to live her life like all of those bloggers out there who seemed to love nothing more than to tell the world of how great their lives were. Samira had simply wanted to have and express as much fun as they had.    So, she’d started a blog.    Straight out of school and ready to live it u...

Is This A Dream?

Submitted to Contest #23

You see, I woke up and the snow was blue. The snow was a bright baby blue. Why was the snow blue? No Idea.I mean, there was no way that something I’ve known my whole life could just change one day. Or could it... Oh gosh, now I’m just sounding delusional I really need some sleep. This is probably just a bad dream. --- I look over my diary entry in confusion.  I wrote it last night.  Jesus I must have been tired. I don't even remember writing that! Snow is not blue. I mean, unless you put blue dye in it or something? But who th...

All The Pretty Little Horses.

Submitted to Contest #20

All the Pretty Little Horses>--------------------------------------------------------< A cry sliced through the tranquil night as the child was laid down on the fluffy mattress in his rocking crib.  The crib was blue and had breathtaking carvings of galloping horses, trotting horses, and even neighing horses. Some of the beasts slept on the beautifully carved grass at the bottom of the cradle. Some pranced, some played but one thing was clear they were all beautiful. ”Hush.” a soothing voice sang. “Hush and I will tell the tale of...

And I am in desperate need of eggs.  I usually didn't run out of them, (I’d have chickens) and was surprised to find one day that my chickens had just decided to stop laying them.  One sec… I’ll be back.

Attic

Submitted to Contest #18

The attic.A place of dust, of things, long forgotten. Some people don’t know they have an attic. Some just don’t acknowledge it. Several forget they own an attic all together. Very few actually use theirs. It’s too fragile up there to keep all sorts of things like in movies, right? I for one didn’t even have an attic at all. Or at least, that what I’d thought. ---Our house (us being my mother, father and baby sister) was a very, very old cabin. My grandparents had passed it down to us after their parents ha...

The long awaited day had arrived.  The day that everyone knew about, but not everyone completely cared for.  Today was the day to feast. The day to rencounter people long lost.  And the day to bring back the old problems as well as the new.  Today was the day for Thanks. And the day for giving. --- “Mother.
