"We have all the time in the world, Caspia. You tend to act as if you don't, but you do. You really do. I mean, honestly, what are the chances you die tomorrow? And... don't come up with actual statistics; I know you were already forming equations. "Look, come for a stroll with me. I'm already at the cafe so we can have a drink and you can complain over some trinket of yours and we can go for a stroll. I'll bring bread for the ducks at the park. Or... no, ducks can't eat bread; it's not good for them. What do ducks eat? Eh. "Back on the drin...
There was a library in the heart of Boston. It was large, though smaller than The Boston Public Library, but larger than most other libraries. It was a rather average building, with average brick walls, average windows, average everything. But one thing always made me pause on my way to school. Nobody seemed to know about this building. I've asked shop owners about it since the hours are always wild. Sometimes, I'd see a person go in on Thursday afternoons, then when I'd try to go in on the next Thursday, the door wouldn't budge. And I think...
It was a nice sunny evening, and curious of a question that nagged me--though it was truly how she may answer the question--I chose to ask. I walked through the home, the familiar clicking of Merlin's paws on tiles as he walked beside me, allowing me to hold to the halter. "Olivia?" I say. The creak of the door opening, thanks to Merlin, catches my ears. I run my left hand along it, soaking in the feeling of the screen against my fingertips. "Over here, love," Olivia's voice catches my ears. She must be sitting near the roses. I walk over, t...
{This ghost can not actually type or write. This was used by the speech-to-text thing on Google Docs to help him} Date: 07/02/2023 Today, I went on a short stroll in the nearby towns, and somewhere around noontime, I walked past a park, and something unbelievable happened. This animal came walking, rather calmly, on the sidewalk, pulling a human along with it. I’m waiting for Thaddeus to return home so I can ask him what I just saw because this will seriously bother me. IT WAS A DOG. Oh my gods, I just saw a dog!! I thought they we...
(CW: Mentions of suicide or self-harm, Mentions of physical violence, gore, or abuse}I glance over my shoulder, hearing the slight shuffling in the room a short distance away. With a sigh, I stand, stepping towards the kitchen. I grab a pot, attempting to be as quiet as possible, before stepping towards the sink.Floorboards creak as footsteps sound in the room, muffled cursing following soon after.~It had been an average night, with the average folks stopping by. Folks like Cassian, Elara, or Lysander, to name a few."How much longer until yo...
The sound of the metal door creaking open draws my attention, and with a raised eyebrow, I look up. I expected guards, maybe even an executioner, but my gaze fell on Okalan instead. I offer a smile as I sit back in the chair, chains clinking from the slight movement. "Come to see an old friend before I'm whisked off my feet to death?" I ask.Okalan rolls his eyes, the cell door closing behind him. His clothes were covered in that black slime, his feet bare. Three eyes peer at me from beneath unruly black hair, and the lower left one had some ...
Monsters aren’t real. I’ve never met a monster. It was only when a friend visited did I come to realize my home wasn’t as normal as I thought it was. It had been sometime in spring, when flowers were blooming and pollen was everywhere, that my friend Raven, had come to visit. The moment she stepped foot on the porch, she seemed to feel off.“What’s that sound?” She had asked.“What sound?” I said.We stood before the front door for a moment longer, listening for something. All I heard were the cicadas, the crickets, and a single hoot of an owl....
"No, We're not doing that," Ethan said. I clicked the pen in my hand and said, "Then what do we do. Their literally hunting us," "Well, we're not doing that," He said shaking his head. "What are we gonna do? Just wait for them to come with guns ablaze' and kill us?" I asked, tossing the pen. Ethan glanced towards me, and said, "What do you think is gonna happen if us two go and try to take them on. They have been the instincts to hunt us, and they have been hunting us." "Yeah, and now we're the last ones left 'cause of them!" I argued stand...

When I heard the engine shut off, I quickly moved my hand towards the lever to drop the bomb. I pulled it, but quarter way, the lever stopped. Again, really? I quickly unclipped my safety harness and pulled myself up. I felt the strong wind push me, but I held onto the wing of the dry wooden plane and promptly made my way. Once I reached the bomb attached to the wing, I quickly unfastened the harness from the wing and unhinged the bomb. I quickly climbed back into the seat and ignored the safety harness. I rushed to turn back on the engine a...
