Author's Note: I wasn’t originally going to make a sequel to this story but then I realized the prompts were flexible! So it all just kinda worked! Thanks for reading! I couldn’t take all the guilt. I had lied to the whole world. People thought I was a hero when I was only a watcher. I needed to come clean to the public. I had become famous throughout the country for something I di...
It was a cold rainy day in April. I went out for a walk. My neighborhood wasn’t the best. There was a lot of gun violence. Long story short I got caught in the crossfire. I was just barely shot on the elbow. It wasn’t bad, some other guy died. That’s not how I told the story though.On my walk, I came to a street where a man was holding a gun. He was aiming it at a little girl with a pink dress and bright bows in her hair. On the other side of the street, an older man came walking over as did I. The older man jumped in f...
*Author’s note: Hi everyone! Thanks for reading my story! I just thought I would say that Ophelia is my absolute favorite name. This story is sort of what I want my future to look like. What I mean is, if I am not an author when I am older I would love to have my own talk show or be a sports broadcaster. Once again thanks for reading this!*I had just had my first child, Ophelia. Not the best timing though. I was a sports broadcaster and I went into a shooting pain during the show. I had to leave early and get to...
I had been waiting for this special occasion for over a year. My best friend had moved away to Portland last year promising she’d visit. She told me she had a new boyfriend and that she wanted me to meet him desperately. We had set up a reservation at our favorite restaurant. I was finally going to see her and meet her new boyfriend. I got in my car and started driving quickly but not too quickly. The restaura...
I was standing in my kitchen getting ready to make dinner for myself. That’s when the house started rocking. Things started falling and breaking. It was an earthquake. I ran outside to see other people doing the same thing. This was one of the first earthquakes we had had in years. Luckily all my kids were staying with their dad. It was the weekend, and that was the agreement ever since we got divorced.Then I remembered something from the last time we had an earthquake. I ran back inside. I went to hide in my basement s...
“Can you keep a secret?” Miley whispered in my ear. I had never been a good secret keeper. Well, at least that’s what everyone told me. In first grade, my friend told me she might be moving and not to tell anyone. The next day everyone at school knew. I don’t know how it happened. I could have sworn I didn’t tell anyone. “Yeah, sure. You know what yes. I mean not… um… I love secrets. Secrets are, well fu...
