“… today’s the day I change.” Standing on the stage in the school’s auditorium, I watched as 300 visibly bored Sixth Formers roll their eyes as I said that last sentence of the speech. Cheesy, I know. Don’t worry, I’m not offended. I don’t blame them at all. I’m not so old that I don’t remember what it was like during Sixth Form. Hell, I’d probably be hiding in the bathroom right about now. <...
Standing in front of the mirror, Lilianna runs her hands down and straightens her emerald green dress. A wedding, that’s where she’s heading. A wedding she had only been made aware of this morning. It was a pleasant Sunday morning. She was lying in bed, holding her book on her side as she immersed herself into the blissful world of Fairies and Demons. It was going to be disgustingly sick enemies-to-lovers...
You see your legs, wide at the top and skinny at the bottom. And on your feet, you have on a pair of shoes. Converse, that’s what they call them. And you know Converse is an American shoe company that designs, distributes and licenses sneakers, skating shoes, lifestyle brand footwear, apparel, and accessories. But that doesn’t matter, because for you, the converse are just a way to blend in with them.You are not one of them, yet you were created with the intent to be like one of them, but better, superior in the knowledg...

I will personally stand outside your apartment until you answer me if you don’t call me back right now. As I begrudgingly drag myself across the cold and miserable road, the sky has turned pitch black. Tiny droplets of rain have started falling, almost like a war...
Tall, fit, muscular. The silhouette of a man stands outside the glass door. He places his hand on the handle and pauses – wagering. The clock ticks on as he wastes his precious time on the decision that has already been made for him. Jingling, the door opens. Still not recognizing the impending doom upon him, he shuffles in. White light glimpse onto his face as he takes his baseball cap off, revealing ...
This is it. This is when you’re going to do it. You’ve given yourself three months to prepare. It’s enough. It has to be done, or you’ll be stuck with this life forever. Looking at yourself in the mirror. You see your bloodshot eyes filling with fear and confusion. Fear for what your parents and relatives are going to say; and confusion, for you aren’t sure if this is the right decision. 99% of you are ce...
“Come on. We gotta go!”“Wait, dude. Lemme get those—”“No time! Come on! Go go go!”“Alright, alright. Chill dude.”The loud and high pitched drones suddenly rang through the air. The two wasted no time as they bolted out the back door. Duffel bags tossed in, they lunged headfirst into their getaway pod through the pre-opened windows. The pod hurtled away before they can even fully get their whole body in. Two pairs of legs were just dangling around, seemingly c...
