The Last Job He Took

“You know what?” He shouted. “I quit! I can’t fucking do this, Echo. Not anymore.” Brunaulf threw up his hands and sighed angrily. Echo backed up a few paces and crossed his arms. “You can’t take it anymore? Yea, what about me, Brun? Huh? I’m in the same boat you are.” Brunaulf shook his head and ran a hand through his long auburn and blonde hair. “No, you’re not, Echo. You don’t have people relying on you constantly for survival. If I fail this…” He couldn’t allow himself to finish the thought of what would happen. Echo nodded, leanin...

The Tooth Fairy Murders

Nishay Bronte called herself a travelling writer, but really she didn’t have a place to stay and write. She was alone but not lonely, she had all the stories she could write and always had enough food to eat until she got to the next town. It was early december, the snow was already thick and heavy. But it didn’t matter, Nishay’s car was warm and comfortable, and the radio was blaring some of her favourite songs. She bopped her head to “Feel It” by d4vd and turned onto an exit in the highway. She was driving into the little unknown town of...

Blood On The Bat.

CONTENT WARNING: GORE. Paeris FinNadiel had always been the runt of the litter. He was always small and weak, as he was sick for all of his life that far, seeming to drag the rest of his family down.

He had been searching for thirteen years now and he had at last found them. All of his siblings and his parents. They all thought him dead. He couldn’t wai...

Above the Earth Is Lies.

Ailouca had never failed any of her jobs. Especially when she was paired with her life long friend and partner in crime, Daisyia. But right now, she was beginning to doubt she would succeed in this job. She was one minute away from being caught. Daisyia was supposed to have been here four minutes ago. She had the gold and gems in her hands, all she needed was Daisyia to get her ass out of the building and show her the escape route. If Daisyia took one more minute, she was just going to have to find her own way out. Ailouca’s watch beeped ...

The Thing That Plays On Insecurities.

Submitted to Contest #301

CONTENT WARNING: TALKS ABOUT SELF-HARM AND REFERENCES SUICIDE AND DEATH OF A SIBLING. If I am scared of one thing, it is mirrors. I hate the way they distort things and the way that they show everything you have, all of the flaws, all the imperfections and all the lies. You can’t hide when you see yourself in a mirror. You have to face yourself in full and with all the truths, despite the lies you build painstakingly to defend yourself with. And even though you try to put on a brave face and face the reflection, you can’t help finding new...

The world hit as monotone.

Submitted to Contest #300

The snow swirls around me, cold and frosty.It falls on my hair and dampens it till it is icy and wet.The wind is violent and forceful, almost knocking me over. That never used to happen before. I used to stand talland now I can’t seem to stand. In the slate grey sky above, birds circle, cawing. I look at them and notice that there are seven crows. Seven crows for a secret never to be told.Huh.It’s almost like IT is telling me not to tell anyone else.I won’t tell a soul, I swear it.Their cries are loud but calming, like a symphony.Like music,...
