Infatuation is a dangerous game, an emotional Russian roulette; a dizzying, crazy, feeling – emotion? It’s walking on a tightrope, the knots rough under your bare feet; the air heavy. Perfect balance is a must or else you’ll plummet to more disastrous […]
a blue heartbreak
Was it possible to break your own heart? Did heartbreak only occur when a second party was involved? Did it have to be inflicted by a lover? A family member? Or, could your own thoughts and made-up fantasies cause the same terrible damage? It was these questions that had puzzled her for days. She laid […]
the damned – on wattpad
Music pounded throughout the streets, coming from the nightclub. Four teens rushed through these same streets, giggling. “Guys!” One shrieked, laughing. She pointed towards a dark building covered in graffiti, every window boarded up. “Let’s go exploring.” The boys whopped in agreement, but one teen disagreed, falling behind. “I don’t know guys, it’s creepy in […]
blank
She stared at her phone, eyes tracing over the letters that spelt out his name. There was a war going on inside her head – should she call him? Should she even bother anymore? The fight between the couple had taken place a few days prior, and now she laid in her bed, her heart […]
deadly mistake
He stared at the woman with wide eyes. Her words repeated like a broken record: “That door you just kicked down was for your protection, not mine.’ He looked back at the door – it reminded him of a wide monstrous mouth.

the key
They found the key at the bottom of the well, just like the treasure map showed. Although, it was not the key they had been envisioning; when first coming across the map, Hunter and his friend’s pictured something old and rustic. They had always imagined a delicate key, with an intricate design – just like […]
buckets and robots
“Beep-de-bop!” A boy shouted, giggling. “Commander! The robots are taking over! Code red, I repeat, code red!” The second boy yelled, his bucket turning into a special helmet. The two boys had been playing ‘robot’ for hours. Beginning right after breakfast, past lunch, until now. The sun was starting to set. The streetlights beginning to […]
orbs and tattoos
It was the middle of the night when I awoke, gasping. A burning sensation rose along my stomach, stretching from my rib cage down towards my navel. Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt. Lifting my oversized shirt, I noticed a faint outline that hadn’t been on my body before. The outline was darkening by the second, taking […]
