When sickness began to ravage the streets and the sun became no more than a yellow speck in the sky my hopes disintegrated, gone to the wind they were. My Mother and Lilac were executed for wanting to fix things, at the time Lilac was fifteen and I was...

Trapped At The Altar (will continue if this story gets 6 likes)

"IT'S MY WEDDING DAY GET DOWN HERE MIKE!" I scream at my little brother, he will NOT be missing my wedding day to play Fortnight with child predators."I DON'T PLAY WITH CHILD PREDATORS Chelsea!" He screams back.He totally does though, voice chat "glitch's" aren't tricking anyone and the people he plays with are definitely not normal.

Now I'm back for the wedding an...

Crashing Down (must go into read story mode for the punctuation to be fixed)

Crashing Down By. Heather Jones One man sent my life crashing down so I destroyed his PrologueI stare into space, afraid of reality. When my life came crashing down I cried but now it seems as if all the tears are gone, dried up like a well in summer. I wish the tears would come, they would be a welcome distraction from the truth. The truth is what hurts, not the loss but the fact that I was the one that let it happen. My parents used to say, "you don't know you're being played, tell the players long gone."
