“Fairytale ” by Kaio Freitas

That was the dumbest thing I ever did. Of course, she ran away while I patiently waited for her at the altar. I knew she didn’t love me, and to be frank, I didn’t love her back. Our marriage had one purpose, and one purpose alone. Getting her dad’s company. I was the best employee, and if her dad wasn’t as stubborn as having a family member running the business, I would be the one doing it. He told me so. But his daughter would be the one running it after he retired, even with her being a primary school teacher. So I concocted a plan. I be...

“War is Closer” by Kaio Freitas

We then got to our home, where both he and my friend went to his room to have fun, and I went to my bed.  I woke up, hungover, with a massive head and neck ache. To my side was the new lovey-dovey couple, and an old woman dressed in a maroon shawl, maroon dress, and heeled maroon boots was looking at me. "What is the most prized possessio...

Submitted to Contest #92

The last time I came to my grandfather's house, I was in a pretty bad place. I was sent there to be locked in the basement to avoid any penalties on my family after my first transformation. I ran semi-transformed on the streets of my city, but no one saw me, except for a vampire, who snitched to my pack.I was forced to stay in the cell for 2 lunar cycles, 58 days plus the one where I was let loose in my city.

“The Door at the Back of The Library” by Kaio Freitas

Submitted to Contest #91

Today, at 12, was the day that I would find what was behind the door on the librarians' desk, in the gigantic, with eighty thousand books, library in our two hundred and fifty people town, even though most of them were empty, with several areas dedicated to the books that would be written, or that was Peter, the librarian that actually left the desk told me when he caught me sneaking in one of the empty areas. My friends would say it was probably dark magic books, banned for their contents, and the proof was that you needed to sign with bl...
