Trigger warning: domestic violence Samuel After reading mom's will, I couldn't help but feel nervous of what my half-brothers truly thought of me, but I still felt relieved that she still accepted me as her son. Then again, there were the times I was beat for simply saying hello to Luke, or the time when Anthony and Joshua were rough housing and accidentally pushed me down with the king's meal and I ended up getting punished very, very violently, even after Joshua explained the situation. I never had or kept a grudge against this family, sim...

Dear Family, I am writing this now because I don't know how much time I have left. If you're reading this, I am probably dead right now and you have finally found my will. I want you all to know that I love, every single one of you dearly, but that love has it's limits when it comes to power. So this will is specifically made to give whoever is worthy, the position of king. Now to my dear husband, you have been king since the stone ages, so I will not allow you to be king anymore. Let those wrinkles rest my love. And take it from me, you...

Is it some kind of animal?" asked another.The wind continued to howl, and the sound of snow crunching, could be heard from a few feet away."What the hell are you guys doing outside in this weather?", said a deep voice."Hey, Dante.

Lai never knew what it was, but the new house him and his parents moved into gives off a creepy feeling. Although it had been his grandparents house in the 70s, the outside doesn't seem welcoming at all. He always talks about how the trees, are so big and scary. The steps are old and almost worn out, as if there was a war, and everyone had to run back and forth upon them. He always claims that he saw a blood stain, on the cobblestone path on the way inside the house.The inside, as Lai describes it, is, "just made for old people". From the so...
It was cold. Colder than usual. Ocean could feel her fingertips freezing as much as she could barely feel her toes.She sighed in frustration and pain trying to open the icy, cold library door. Only simply trying to return a book, she finally got the door open using her coat's sleeve.The Forbidden Tree was the book she placed on the front desk of the library.She stood rubbing her hands furiously to get some type of warmth, but it didn't help that the inside of the library felt even colder than outside.She was greeted by a woman."Hello sw...

It's bright, and warm. Henry opens his eyes, to the half-closed blinds, revealing the sun's scorching rays. He sits up and allows the sun to burn his charcoal, dark skin. Rising from his race car shaped bed, with sheets that used to be plump and soft but have transformed into flat, uncomfortable lumps that he still feels safe in, Henry goes to his mother's room. He quietly opens the white painted door, and takes a few steps in, so that the door can once again be closed. Her carpet was soft. It tickled Henry's feet, and he hated it, but t...
