Oath of God

Candace Shattuck

Submitted to Contest #130

Today was the day. The day that the world would come to an end. Lisa Spencer woke up that morning ready to make it happen. Her mother had made the order. Humanity had grown arrogant and self-serving. They no longer remembered the old ways so it was time to eliminate them. She stared in the mirror. Her clothes looked plain enough but they were crafted in the heavens and would work better than any armor the humans would have. She took her sword and left. It was time to begin. The trip to Earth was shorter than she had expected. When she ...

Inside the Mind

Hello, my name is Magyk. I am making this recording to record my experiences for my own record of healing. It is the 11th day of December and today, on my healing journey my counselor asked me to go on a meditative journey to the inside of my mind or at least how I view the inside of my mind. This should be interesting. That’s what I plan to do. Let’s breathe. In…and out…in…and out… Everything goes dark. Now I find myself standing at the entrance to a huge labyrinth. Well, this isn’t what I was expecting. When I was younger I always saw the ...

Reflection

I just don’t know how I got here. It seems like just yesterday I was a carefree child. I used to be so sure of myself and I never cared what anyone thought. I always figured if they had a problem with me that was their problem not mine. But then something changed… I don’t know…maybe it was because I got hurt. Maybe it was learning that the outside world was just as dangerous as the one I knew inside. Some people would tell you I was always disturbed. After all I do have some pretty awful nightmares. But now I just feel broken…lost… I am here...

The Abandoned House

Submitted to Contest #113

Will was lost in thought again. His friends Steve and Danny were laughing and goofing around but he was silent. He couldn’t get his mind of the dream he had last night. It felt so real. It was just like his world but he had owned a motorcycle instead of a car and seemingly had different friends. Could it have really only been a dream? After a while, Danny stopped to stare at their friend. “Dude, you alright?” he asked. “Hmm,” he replied. “Eh, you know Will. He is always daydreaming about something,” said Steve. “What is it this time?” ...

Midnight

Magyk sat outside. The sun was shining bright. She didn’t particularly like the heat but her family wouldn’t let her back inside. As she sat there she noticed a cat on the edge of the road. It was a black cat with yellow eyes. Its fur seemed to glow as the sun hit it. The cat seemed to be watching her as well. Just then she saw a car swerve in the direction of the cat. The cat curled up as the car hit it. “HEY!” She yelled. Why would they do that? There was nothing in the road. Why would they hit a cat on purpose? She ran over to...
