“Black and White Sneakers” by Kate Reynolds

So it's been a while, but I've decided to post a poem I wrote at about 11 PM at night yesterday related to a school shooting that happened near my school. It has nothing to do with the prompt, but I thought it would be nice if people could give me some feedback on it. It is a bit sensitive, however, to myself and others who have experienced similar things. Stay safe everyone <3 TW: Contains descriptions of a school shooting and blood Our ears fill with laughter, Our faces shine with joy. Our feet run down the hallway Decorated with ou...

He couldn’t.After all, Elenyi, his sweetheart, his love, depended on him.It’s been 49 years since the tragic event that changed humanity forever, and yet the streets were still empty, devoid of joy.Children would stay indoors, their mothers clutching them close to ...

“Not All Stories Have a Happy Ending ” by Kate Reynolds

Submitted to Contest #77

It cast a dim light across the ground, making it seem like it was coated in a layer of frost.A lone figure was walking home, shivering from the stinging, night air. She was taking a midnight walk, wanting to get away from her messed up family, even if it only was for a few minutes. She was young. Way too young to be experiencing the things she was. But she was the sweetest, most loving soul you could ever find in this cruel world.Of c...

Submitted to Contest #75

Disclaimer: I don't actually play chess, so sorry if I got some of the details wrong. With that being said, enjoy!Chess strategies lined up in my head as soon as I glanced at the chessboard, waiting for me to pick and apply one. The board was made up of exactly 64 squares, 32 white and 32 black. It was a perfect mixture, one that I loved. “Next up, Varsha Vimal playing white, and Zelene Gilbert playing black!” The announcer declared. This was the biggest chess tournament of my life, it was the state tournament and it was being broadcast...

“Ten Seconds 'Till Death” by Kate Reynolds

Submitted to Contest #74

I’ve heard about someone’s life flashing in front of their eyes before they die. But mine was more of a movie. An old-fashioned movie. The scenes of my life slowly unfolded, shifting from one to the other on a tape. I could almost hear the clicking sound of the transitions. And somehow, I knew that I had ten seconds before the car would hit me, therefore killing me. And then the movie started.10 secondsI was the stereotypical “nerd” in middle school: I always had my nose in a book. I loved reading, it gave me an excuse to escape the real wor...

“A Christmas Resolution” by Kate Reynolds

Submitted to Contest #73

I’m that girl that every girl is jealous of and every boy likes. I mean, it’s not exactly surprising. I have delicate, soft brown curls that tumbles down to my slim waist. My smooth, olive skin serves as a canvas for my gorgeous emerald green eyes with flecks of peacock blue. All my life, I have been told that I was beautiful. Strangers would stop just to gape at my looks, as my eye color was rather rare. I have always been admired like a great painting, and I loved that feeling.  I had never agreed with the phrase “inner beauty.” What...

“Freedom (Part 4 of the Flawless Imperfection series)” by Kate Reynolds

Author's note: This is the fourth part to the Flawless Imperfection series so I would suggest you read that before you read this or else it may not make sense. Thanks! :D Adira’s POV: The road home seemed longer, having much more twists and turns that I had remembered it to have. Or maybe it’s because I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn’t even realize how far the distance between Thykora and the Union was. I sighed, glancing at my friends. Luke and Jax were getting along wonderfully, and Mira was excitedly looking around, draw...

Author's note: This is Luke's backstory from the Flawless Imperfection series so I would recommend you read that before you read this. Thank you! :D The door banged open, and voices flooded the house. I peeked out of my room and saw people with badges that I have never seen before storm into my house. My father ran downstairs with a gun, but one of the people raised something and shot him in the leg. I stifled a scream, but my mother was not as lucky. Her scream pierced the air. “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?” She screamed. The people d...

Author's note: This is the backstory of Mira from Flawless Imperfection, so I would suggest you read that (if you haven't already) before you read this. Also, these are a few entries from Mira's journal. Thank you! :D March 18th I can’t believe this. Yesterday, a group of people all wearing a badge stormed into my house, and captured my parents’, screaming and crying, away. I didn’t know what to do, so I hid. And they must have never found me because the only people who returned to my house were my parents. Of course, I was running at them...

Thank you! :DJax’s POV:Everything seemed like it was washed down with a bucket of water. The inky, black sky turned into a medium shade of grey, making the world seem miserable.Or maybe it’s just me.
