a window in time

Echo Ruben

Submitted to Contest #97

The floor is burned, The window is long gone. And now my mind wonders, where did I go wrong? It’s been a while, maybe way too long. But right now? This place seems like a sad song. It’s burned to crisp like me, myself and I. It’s Ironic isn’t it? How time flies by. Seven years of tragedy and despair. But where did you go when you went away? I didn’t see you again. At least not for a while. During the night it’s a different song. Where you’d plague me till the end of time. Where there was supposed to be downtime....

In my house there’s a hidden passageway that leads to a set of stairs. Many books are stored on the staircase and it’s quite a hazard if you do not pay attention or forget what place is safe to place your feet. Some days even I, the creator of the staircase and placer of the books forgets what place is safe to stand on. If I'm going to be honest, I've created multiple holes in my floor by accident. There’s a hidden guide on the left side when you enter the passageway which can be revealed by candlelight on a low flame. But like I for...

Viva la Revolution

Echo Ruben

Submitted to Contest #88

“How does a kingdom run, with their mighty ruler gone?” Our revolution started off very small, with only me and five others who were brave enough to speak out against this tyrant. My name is Azarin Frioster and I started the revolution against King Giakja. We started in the deep grain fields which we sat in trying to hide ourselves from the world and any soldier who could hear us. At this point in the gigantic timeline, any person who dared to speak out got taken away and nobody knew what happened to them after. My friend Nesta h...

Primroses

Echo Ruben

Submitted to Contest #86

“The primroses are blooming again mother!” I called out as my gaze landed on the beautiful garden; she always maintained it like we were royalty! We were not in the slightest way rich, but we lived comfortably in a modest house with a big garden full of primroses. My mother, who was in every way a beautiful woman for her time, loved primroses. She said it reminded her of a fresh start or a soul finding its way into a new life. She taught me to always preserve these flowers and make sure they bloom. I can still remember her swe...
