“The In Between” by Sunshine (:

Everyone seems to think there are two places that a human can exist. In life, and death. We can either be frolicking in flowery fields, or sitting beneath the ground, unliving. It's simple, you breathe, or you don't. What they probably don't know is that, in between those two worlds, there's a gap. It's always been there. And it is within that gap that I am sitting now, contemplating what would happen to the world...

“the sun i never saw” by Sunshine (:

Submitted to Contest #92

I sat. I stared. At the delicate gold picture frame, housing a painting of a sunset inside. I watched. I listened. To the slow rumble of the floor breathing. Sitting, my legs stretched. In front of an old painting. The curtains closed tight. My eyes open wide. The world on pause. As I watched the painting move without moving. And watching...

“Mute Love (Part 2)” by Sunshine (:

Hello! This story DOES NOT follow the prompt, so sorry about that. But I finally got around to writing Part 2 of "Mute Love". You can read part 1 if you want too, it's on my account. I had a lot of fun with this story, and tried to add more details about Cameron's life. Please comment if you like it, and enjoy! Cameron wakes up, his heart beating like it’s on fire. He glances at the alarm clock.  2...

“Slapped In the Face” by Sunshine (:

Submitted to Contest #80

His job was to deliver water to the horses. He walked to the well, filled the bucket, then brought it back to the stables, only a couple yards from the battlegrounds. Occasionally, he heard yells of men prepared for war, or the distant slicing of swords trained for warfare, but he would blink and turn away. That’s always what everyone told him to do. Blink. Turn away. That’s what he did when his sister got too close to t...

“Snowy Ash” by Sunshine (:

Submitted to Contest #77

My sleepful silence was suddenly interrupted with the dreaded screech of what sounded like a very aggravated little brother. I woke with a start, rubbing my eyes, and widening my mouth into a serene yawn, my mind playing with the thought of going back to bed. I sat up and my shoulders bolted upwards in surprise when I saw my brother sitting at the end of the mattress.  “What is it?” His eyes fill with tears...

“A Little Blue Baseball Cap” by Sunshine (:

Submitted to Contest #75

They all told me I was a miracle. That me being alive was in itself amazing. Fascinating, even. But sometimes I wish I didn’t have to be here. Because every time someone looks at me, my soul is completely out in the open. For them to judge. And stare. They keep telling me to try to remember. They keep describing it, but I don’t want to remember. And every voice that says that they’re trying to help me sounds l...

“Mute Love” by Sunshine (:

DISCLAIMER: This story does not follow the prompt AT ALL. I didn't have time to finish it so that I could submit it for the correct romance prompt. However, I still think it's good, and I wanted people to see it. Without further ado, here it is... The sharp scratching of my pencil against the blank piece of paper slowly drowns out the monotone blabbering of my biology teacher. My eyes start to drift away ...

“The Love Bird” by Sunshine (:

Submitted to Contest #73

The bright red and green ornaments echo Christmas throughout the entire house. The smell of fresh baked gingerbread wafts from the kitchen. The presents are the size of boulders. Puppies, toys, clothes. Everyone’s smiling. At least, that’s what you would expect from Christmas. My family and I have never had a “normal” Christmas. In fact, sometimes I forget that Christmas exists at all. When someone says the word <...

“EVA” by Sunshine (:

Submitted to Contest #70

Every night, the thunder comes to haunt me. I hear it in my dreams, like crackling fire. I hear it outside every time it rains, which happens to be a lot. My sister always holds me every time it happens. My mind wants to shut down and my heart rate goes a mile a minute. I remember the night it came back. I jumped onto my bed and looked out the window. The thunder screamed with yelps of pain and begged for help with the ...

“You'll Never Open the Door” by Sunshine (:

Submitted to Contest #70

I didn’t do it. Imagine. Me. Out of all people. They sure think I did it. But I did not. Never in a million years. Never in a lifetime.  My sister has been missing for a year now. It’s her 1st year anniversary of the day someone took her from me. But I wasn’t that someone. I’m still locked up. Still breathing though. I collapse onto the concrete floor of the jail cell. If only she’d have listened to me.  It...
