“Fly Away” by Logan Hessek

Fly away. Fly away. Those are the words that hummed in my head and would stick with me forever. I took a good look at the winding stone path in front of me which was surrounded by a rolling expanse of bright green.

Dale walked along one of the rickety bridges right above a beast’s den. His tan Beasts for Adoption uniform was soaked and plastered to his skin. A patch on his shirt with a flying dragon had the letters “BFA” imprinted over it. New beads of sweat continued to trickle down his forehead as the sun beat down.

“The Reflection Portal” by Logan Hessek

Charles peered through the portal. The silhouette of a man stood on a balcony holding a wine glass. The portal rippled like a lake with a skipping stone bounced off of it. The blue shadows of the man’s frame slowly started to fade like a mirage. But before the image was completely gone, Charles caught the faintest glimpse of a winged creature with horns and devilish claws emerge into sight behind the man with the wine g...
