“Shape-Shifter Squad” by 𝔸𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕟 ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕔𝕔𝕒 ❤️

“IIIIII HATE HIM!”Crash.“HE’S A JERK!”Bang.“I HOPE HE FALLS INTO A HOLE AND DIES!”Smash.“AARRRRRRRRRRGH!”I hurl my fist down on one more hollow wooden sphere and smile at the extremely loud but totally satisfying CRASH. My brows pinched with fury, I throw the remains of the ball down and stomp around the counselor’s office. As I survey the wreckage, the anger drains aw...

“To be Perfect” by Lynn Penny

Does any innocent child ever look up to the stars and wish to become a killer one day?Do they read about prosecuted murderers in the newspaper and hail them as their heroes?Valora never did this. She had respectable heroes, one’s who changed the world with their brilliant ideas and made the most magnificent masterpieces using the art of science. She had the perfect uprising, loving and caring parents who taught her the difference between right and wrong, and the value of hard work.She studied har...

“Ambitions Part 2” by A-k-s-h-a-t A-t-a-l

As a child, Mathew Lawrenson had always been taught to play with fire, unlike most safety guidelines. His parents gave him a match and watched him play with it. He was free to do anything he wanted, burn the dog’s tail, burn some newspapers, and even let the matchstick burn until the end, while he was holding it.Eventually, his early training paid out for Mathew. He was inducted into FEAR. Later on, he’d gotten married and had two kids, both of whom were … disappointing. Conan, his older son, had been disowned. Huh. Like...

“The Mysterious Note” by Avery G.

“Mommy, can I please go to the meeting tonight?”“No, honey. You’re not old enough.”“I’m seven!”“Elora, conversation is closed.”Elora awoke to her alarm buzzing fiercely. It was 7:00 in the morning, but it was still too early for her. That dream, that memory; she didn’t remember it at all. She sighed. It was all the past. Look towards the future.Elora got up and had her morning cup of coffee. Black, with a splash of crea...

“The Shadow Benders” by Helen Jett

I am restless, and my legs burn with tension. Adrenaline pulses through my veins. Though I have been crouched here for hours now, all of my senses are alert, watching for danger. I cannot afford a moment of laziness. I draw my cloak tighter, and my fingers fidget nervously with the silky lining. I must not be seen. I know I have bent the shadows well, yet I shiver at being so close to the humans.One of their young toddles around near the pot I am hidden in. It takes skill to bend shadows in full sunlight, but I have trai...

“Roll of Quarters” by Rhondalise Mitza

Camino Pope always imagined her first alien encounter to be in an abandoned field in Kansas, not a small outdoor mall in Delaware. She thought there would be more cows, more lights, more eyes, maybe. Though now that she was here, there were none of those things. There was a strong looking boy leaning against a clothes rack, wearing a black and white checkered coat and smoking a roll of quarters he’d borrowed fr...

“Something_Very_Serious” by Moonchild 🌙🦀♋

Zoe solemnly opened the polished door to a creak.“Password?” she demanded. The other woman standing outside was dressed in casual clothes, but she clutched a briefcase and her face was all serious.“9-5-0-0-X-0-1” she replied. Zoe nodded and opened the door a little wider. “Come in.”The woman holding the briefcase stepped inside the meeting room where there were already two other people present. Zoe strode across to the instant coffee machine and brewed herself a cup. She turned to the newcomer. “I believe you come wit...

“Behind the red door.” by Lexi Robinson

Every rich kid has that one room in their house that they aren't allowed to use. Parent's usually are strict and evasive about entering in. I was a new kid in St. Anne's, Minestone school a couple of months ago. Danielle, the popular rich girl in school befriended me. Lucky for me, I didn't have to spend lunch break sitting alone in a corner bench next to the dustbins. My mother is a nurse. Since school a...

“A Ping in Time” by Kristin Neubauer

It was a secret meeting that took place in the society’s secret boardroom at the tip top of one of New York City’s 274 skyscrapers.

“City of Light” by Maya W.

The streets of Paris were buzzing. Some called it the City of Light, but Nina wondered why New York City was The City That Never Sleeps instead. Of course, she had never been to New York, or even to America, but Nina knew that if there was ever a more vibrant, colorful city than the one she had just entered, it must be simply marvelous. Between the scents of the vendors and the beautiful language...

“The Eastern Sun” by Scout Tahoe

The final rise of the eastern sun. The tranquil sunrise cast untold shadows across the city. The orange light was reflected in her dark eyes. Long shadows slithered onto her face and made her appear older than she was. Ioni was settled at the local cafe, her nails tapping impatiently against the wooden table. It was now, just before the sun rose fully into the sky, that she called the Golden H...

“The Wind Whistles Tonight.” by Jn Park

The wind whistled gleefully by, like a siren echoing, "warning, warning, warning," and all the creatures bowed their heads in the solemn silence of the night. Old Grandpa Willow raised his shaggy hair first. He shook his head, and his wrinkled, brown, crooked face came to sight. Although his skin was dripping down and his thick veins were oddly conspicuous, his two little diamond-bright eyes shined with w...
