Siren

Submitted to Contest #90

You’d think that if humans figured out gene mutation that they’d figure out how to live on a place like Mars. You’d be wrong. Water suffocated me in all corners. I thrashed hating the sensation against my skin. It was pouring in faster and faster. I banged my tiny hands against the glass wall screaming for help. Sickly tears streamed from my eyes as I took my last gulp of air. ~ ~ ~ “Tasi? Tasi!” I thrashed awake. The panic still clinging to me. Zale’s worried eyes were fixed on...

The Spectator

“Ms. Youngman! Ms. Youngman!” the reporters cried after me. I smiled at them kindly but pushed through the wall of people. “What gave you the idea for Little Red Riding Hood’s Dark Ending?” “Will there be a sequel to Snow White: The Blood Red Apple?” “When is Deathly Beauty being released?” “Ms. Youngman!” I shut my door locking it swiftly. I staggered back sitting down on the bench by my door. A wave of exhaustion rushing over me. These people needed to learn when enough was enough. I’d teach them that soon. I sighed taking off my shoes and...

Mutt

Eva Parker

Submitted to Contest #88

Arec was a simple young boy. He wished to be accepted by his people. His family and “loved ones” that he truly believed loved him in return. His only issue, Arec was a “mutt”. A child of both peace and chaos or in simpler terms, the Timelin’s version of an angel and demon. He was not accepted in either the realm of peace, the second realm, or the realm of chaos, the fourth realm. He was castaway left to die alone.It was never his fault. Arec had tried everything to be accepted. He tried cutting off his magnificent feathered wings. He tried s...

"My King..."

Trigger Warning: Slight Mentions of Gore/Blood and AbuseI stood leaning against the wall. My eyes were vailed in shadow. My arms crossed tightly against my chest.“If we move our troops here, we can finally snuff out the king’s guard and take him out,” Dagger said grinning. “I can finally take the throne.”I grunted as if I cared.“Aww, come on, Satya, let’s celebrate.”He smiled once more, but I shook my head. “And this will make you happy?”"Of course.” He frowned. “What is it?”"Nothing, of importance, my lord,” I said calmly."Of course, it isn...

Prince Akio

Submitted to Contest #88

Trigger Warning: Mentions of Gore and Depression I sat on my floor. I didn’t feel like getting up. No, I couldn’t get up. It was like the weight of the world was crushing me to the ground. Lupa moved brushing her dark fur against my face. My empty gaze shifted to her magnificent face. She whined but I didn’t budge. This was all my fault. Every death… My mistake. ~ ~ ~ “Good morning Akio,” Ryu said as he put down a basket. &nb...

Spring is Coming

Hi, just really quick, this short story will include some gore. Just a quick warning! Anyway, I’ll get out of your way. I watched my sister play in the river. The water was so clear you could see the stones at the bottom. It cut the royal garden in half. The only way over it was a bridge that lay not to far from us, or swimming of course. These gardens were our favorite place. The old willow tree that hung over the river always gave a form of shade on the hottest of days. Its trunk was thick giving you a place to rest your back. During the...

Brotherly Love

Submitted to Contest #85

I sighed before stepping off the train. It was official. I was all the way back here though it was a good thing this would be my last time. I glanced around at the platform. It was almost empty with the occasional person scattered here and there. I shoved my hands back in my pockets and started on my way. People didn't care enough to notice me, so I didn't care enough to notice them. I kept my head down and moved with pace. It was only slightly different than last time. The air seemed thicker and the buildings sometimes taller. Maybe that's...

Survivor

What day is it? What month is it? How long have I been here? Where is here? Where am I? Who are they? Do they mean to kill me? What have I done wrong? I don't want to die. Please. I don't want to die. Soon it'll be my turn. Soon it'll be my time to go to the Death Room. No, I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I'm still young. There's still hope. Please, I don't want to die. Help me, I don't want to die. I want to go home. Please take me home. What did I do? I don't want to die... 8:00am Wake Up The alarm blared snapping me awake. I s...
