Everybody Insists

I insist you do this. Insist. Everybody insists. What about what I want? Well I guess the question that I need to ask myself first is... what do I want? Tristan found himself at the bar again. Drinking shot after shot to forget today's event and yet each shot only heightened the emotions he felt …

Bewildering Situation

I was left bewildered by the sight before me. I strolled down the dimly lit hallway. The walls were bare. No doors, windows, or any sort of decoration. It was just plain white walls covered in various blotches of dirt and water stains. There was a chill in the air that caused me to shake …

The Necessary Decision

She began to cry in front of Xen. He attempted to sympathize with her, but kept telling himself that he couldn’t. Was this really the right decision? He thought to himself.

A Simple Gesture

The truth hurts. Drake knew that, so he found himself avoiding the truth like it was the plague. He had multiple methods for avoiding the truth, but perhaps his most favorite method was alcohol.

The Long Drive

It was two in the morning and Xen found himself driving home from another late night drinking with his friends. There was no denying the fact that it was the most fun he had in awhile. He remembered his head aching as he and his friends laughed uncontrollably at the jokes he made. He then …

Strength like no other.

It happened quicker than he anticipated. The world as he knew it began to crumble around him. Everything he once knew and accepted fell away into the darkness. He looked below him and the ground beneath him began to crumble as well. He desperately tried to cling on to what was left around him. It …

Sudden Relocation

“All right class pay attention.” Ms. Crane’s voice echoed throughout the room, silencing multiple conversations at once. I immediately head towards the front of the room and back into my desk. I watched as other students scrambled into their desk, while others walked with little to no urgency. “Now that I have your attention, I …

Out for a Quick Bite

I only went out for a quick bite to eat, so how… did I end up in this situation? In front of me were two large men dressed in suits. They had no weapons, not like they needed it since their sizes more than made up for it. I was barely half their size, and …
