“Lost_Media.exe” by Isabella Montoya

You open your eyes and find yourself on the floor of a dimly lit room. The room is full of cobwebs and a musty smell is impregnated on it. You cry for help, for someone that will listen, but no one answers. You get up and try to open the only door in the room. Damn it, it’s locked! you tell yourself. You look around, but there are no windows. The only source of light is a little candle that will probably die out in an hour or two. You keep exploring the place and soon realize you are trapped in an attic room. You don’t like being trapped, an...

“The Halloween Party” by Isabella Montoya

It was October 31st, Halloween day. My friends, Spike and Jake, and I were getting ready to go out to a big Halloween party. I decided to show them that humans weren’t as bad as we were told and also to have a bit of fun. The world would one day accept us, that’s for sure. We dressed in business suits. We looked professional, nice, and human, not scary at all.You may wonder, “Why dress up so nice on Halloween? Why not wear a scary costume or something like that?” Well, we aren’t human; we are ghosts, -more specifically, werewolf-ghosts. We c...

“Letters of a Young Soldier” by Isabella Montoya

CW: Themes of war, violence, death, and occasional swearing.April 6, 1775My name is Locke Jameson. I’m a small farmer in New York, near the Long Island area. I have a wife and we’re due to have a child in a few months. Life is… okay. The British have been living here in the area ever since that stupid King George III passed the Quartering Act. I don’t understand the king nor do I agree with him. Like, why do I have to give housing and food to some random British soldiers who don’t do anything for me? I heard there’s going to be some type of ...

“Open Letters: A Personal Statement” by Isabella Montoya

CW: SwearingTo no one in particular,I don't know why anyone would like to read this. I mean, a story (or letter in this case) with no clear plot ain't that fun to read. You don't even know me. I'm just a random stranger on the internet. I don't know why I'm writing this. I guess just to vent or something like that, but I don't think anyone really wants to hear me yap about nonsense. [Sigh] Oh, well… if you're still reading, just, please, let me play my tiny violin to you.Not so many months ago I used to be happy. I used to be full of life, m...

“Hope” by Isabella Montoya

I wake up in the middle of a dark, heavy fog, the air around me dank and musty. I’m laying on the cold floor, my body aching terribly. I try to get up, but a heavy weight around my chest keeps me down. I try with all my might to stand up, but the most I can do is get on my knees. I look around, but all I can see is fog and darkness.God, why am I still here? I cry out to Him in my mind. Please, where are you? When will this freaking nightmare end?!I hear a low growl from behind me and immediately know who it is.“Leave!” I yell at it angrily. ...

“The Ring” by Isabella Montoya

Warning: Mild violence, swearing, and heartbreak ;)**********As they say, love is a double edged sword. It can be the most beautiful thing in the world, making you feel like the most loved and special person in the whole universe, but at the same time, it can be used to cause one of the greatest pains a human can ever experience in their life. Whenever someone asks me what I think about it, instead of telling them a simple answer, I tell them this story of mine:I wake up to the warmth of the sun on my back. I stretch my hand to reach for Jak...

We would always spend time together outside. Life was perfect and fun... until it wasn't. One day I woke up to the cries of Jack. He sounded terrified, so I sprinted outside to find him fighting a bear. I tried to help him, but the bear caused Jack to fall and smack his head badly against a rock. I tried to get him up, but he wouldn't respond. He ...

**TW: Death of a child. Mental torture.**Silence. That’s all I could hear. The room was so dark I could barely see my hand in front of me. I tried to stand up, but I felt like a truck had just passed over me. All I could do was lay there on the cold floor.“Please,” I cried, “someone, please help me!”I didn't know where I was, and I couldn’t even remember how I got here, which made me so nervous I cried.I heard some heavy footsteps approaching. Then I saw some light coming from the small window in the room’s door, allowing me to see better wh...

“Midnight Clock” by Isabella Montoya

“Sir?” a muffled voice said. “Sir? Are you listening to me?” The voice grabbed my arm and yelled, “General Raymond!”I glanced around quickly and saw the source of the voice. A young man in a lab coat and black pants was staring back at me, his brown eyes filled with dread. He let go of my arm and backed off a little.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell, sir.” He handed me a folder and said, “The situation ain’t no good. Our systems are saying we won’t make it through the night.”“How’s that so?” I asked. “What happened with the undercover squads I s...
