“Someone get my boy!” John shouted, amongst the smoke, “don’t worry about me I’ll be fine. Get him! Hes downstairs and he’s paraplelegic. Get him out if you have to drag him!” John noticed it wasn’t fire fighters helping him, it was community members, and was confused but all he could focus on was Johnny. Downstairs the flames were quickly moving toward Johnny, who had just been put in his bed for the night by his nurse, Brenda. She started scream...

The Promise 1313 words As I awoke to the brightness, of the sun coming up through the bus window, I rubbed my eyes and looked out the window. ‘More cows than people’ I chuckled to myself..just like Eddie said there’d be.

Title- Blinded By The Light Word count- 1070 When you’re in addiction, it’s all dark. Because even at its’ lightest, it’s still twilight, at best. That kind of light where it’s not dark yet but it’s eerily not light either. Where the world is quiet, and it’s just you and your head. You know the light exists, it’s what’s you’re looking for.. but it’s always unattainable, just out of reach. You’re always looking for that li...

“Isn’t this the best thing ever?” said Annie to her husband, “It’s gotta be the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had..like ever. But Rhett didn’t hear her. He was transfixed with the wintry view outside. He had been so lost in his head with the wedding plans and wedding itself-the last few weeks in themselves had been such a blur. He was just enjoying the peace and the calmness of not having to do anything at that exact moment. The River Bend B&B was just what he needed. The newlywe...
