“Watch the world burn” by Rory Freed

Everything was ready for the ritual. Minax and her companions Eva, Alicia, Minai and Fenella had started making the preparations for this night a year ago and the time had finally come. The leaderless coven was finally able to summon a demon greater than anything mankind had ever seen before. After their leader had been killed by a hunter the year prior, the young witches swore revenge upon the whole world. The witches ...

“The Adams” by Rory Freed

Submitted to Contest #96

In a small town in Memphis, everything seemed strange, not like any other town. Though the people living there didn't really know why it was so different. Everything seemed just so perfect and everyone was happy. The Adams family had just arrived in this little town to see a concert of one of their favourite artists. The family had two boys named Jack and Liam, and their parents were Hailey and Ben. Something seemed off...

“Ocean of Despair” by Rory Freed

Submitted to Contest #32

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and half. I still have yet told him about why I'm different from most people. I was born into a family of people with powers and I was born with the ability to control any body of water. My sister was born with emotion manipulation, father has time freezing and my mother has control over electricity. In past relationships whenever I told someone about my power they got scared. I heard the usual "You're a type of monster!" or "You freak!" and at this point I just don't tell people. The only ...

“Familiar” by Rory Freed

This is the first time I've ever been out of my home country. As a young girl I had always wanted to travel the world but unfortunately my family could never afford it. Now that I'm financially secure and work as a college professor I have summers off so I can travel. As my first place that I had always wanted to visit I chose Thailand. My family is thai so I figured it could be a good idea to visit and be able to learn more about my culture. Finding my plane and everything in the Phoenix airport was easier then I had expected. Du...

“Unfamiliar feeling” by Rory Freed

I grew up alone. My birth parents gave me to a orphanage when I was born but when I got older I ran away. There is no love shown there. All the staff trying to get the younger crying children off their hands as soon as possible. Most of the time kids are stuck until they are 18 the which hey can leave. At 14 I decided that I"ve had enough of waiting for someone to just choose me so I left the home. I've never been shown love and I've never loved anyone. I lived on the streets until I was accepted into university where I moved into a dorm...

“illusion of a friend” by Rory Freed

Submitted to Contest #27

I got a phone call from the police station this morning. It was the usual thing they say when they call me. "Come to the station it's an emergency." I was hoping for a day off but oh well. I get to the station and walk straight to Chief Sander's office not even waiting to check in at reception. "Ah detective it's nice to see you." I huff at his formalities. He does this everytime. "Honestly Kian no need to be so formal around me. I've known you since we were 7." Kian rolls his eyes and points at the chair in front of his desk "Well Alina ...

“The lyre” by Rory Freed

My family is big on musical talent. My father gets hired by the king to play piano at his balls and celebrations while my mother plays the harp with my dad. They have started to get my brother and sister to learn instruments like the organ and the harpsichord. They tried hard to get me to learn how to play regal instruments like the cello but I could never pick it up as well as my parents and siblings. Because of my lack of musical talent my family shunned me and I was never treated as an equal. We had enough money to afford a maid but my...

“Obsession” by Rory Freed

I was never one to do resolutions. All you hear at the start is how someone wants to do this more but by the time it's December again they haven't done it but still they proceed to make another. It's really quite annoying hearing people talk about it all the time. I'm at my friends party and they start saying what they're resolutions are. "Hey Zoe what are your resolutions?" "Bailey you know I don't do that stuff." Another friend jumps in "Aw come on Zoe just one." Bailey sure are the duo that get things done. I roll my eyes at them befor...
