Dinner Is Not Over

Neenee Hu

Written by Neenee Hu Themes of gore, suicide, possession, murder Smoke.I've known that smell since I was a baby. It's the scent of burning food, the haze of damp firewood. It's seldom good.I stumble on my roller-skates, highlighter pink heels slipping back as I try to reach the kitchen. I know that this smell, burning in my sinuses and painting my vision cloudy black, is a bad sign in a restaurant.I push through the curtains that block the view of our kitchen, eyes wide. I'm prepared for the worst. A burning dish, an oven left on too long. M...

A Promise

Neenee Hu

Written by Neenee Hu[My original characters (OCS) for The Arc Of A Scythe series!] Faith rushed through the rain, her feet splashing in muddy, murky pools as her giggles traveled through the air, her hands curled up around her bright, yellow backpack.Reed rushed after her, their eyes gleaming as they followed, boots kicking up sodden mud as they chased after her."Faith!" they cried out between laughs. "Wait up!"She turned around to look at Reed again, her little eyes gleaming with amber, chocolately brown behind her brunette wisps."Waiting! ...

Flakes Not Of Snow

Neenee Hu

Written by Neenee Hu The fog around her swirls in the cold air. Does she notice the way it clings to her skin, like unwelcome perfume or sweat?It smells of pine needles and dead paper cells. The pulp of an ancient letter, the twinkle of Christmas trees.She blows into her hands, breath traveling through crinkles in her palms. Her skin grows pink in the frost, flushing warmly despite the shiver that runs through her body.Her eyes glance up at the sky. It's gray, a sponge that's soaked up too many tears and too much slush this dawn.Can she hear...

Artemis Was Her Name

Neenee Hu

Written by Neenee Hu "Hello," she whispered. "I'm Artemis Ezra."I blinked and managed a grin. "I'm Lin Summers."She laughed, tossing her head back. Black, licorice curls. Pale skin. Big gray eyes tinted with black. Very pretty."Lin Summers," she repeated, testing the way it rolled on her tongue. "You sound like a prep. What school are you from?"I swallowed and rubbed the back of my neck. My mind was hazy and lightheaded- from her smile and her CVS perfume. Strong scents of candy and citrus."Briarwood Middle," I murmured, embarrassed."Briarwo...

The Day Lin Died

Neenee Hu

Written by Neenee Hu Moving is always said to be fun. Moving is sometimes said to be new. Maybe exciting.Not for me.Moving makes me sick. Why?Because whenever my brother, Samuel, and I move, I can still smell the sweat, the tears, the anguish, the stress, in the backseat of our SUV.Whenever we have to move, I can remember the day Lin died.I don't remember much now. But I do remember this.Lin and I were best friends in ninth grade. We would sit in the back of my SUV and smoke cigarettes and eat bubble gum.We could stay in my car and share ene...

The Clinic Of Horrors

Neenee Hu

She slowly realized the pain in the left corner of her temple, throbbing and burning. She cautiously reached up a hand to feel at her scalp, scraping at the skin.Placing her hand down again, she watched warm blood drip down her palm, dry blood caked in her fingernails and knuckles.She let out a small shriek, swiping her hand on her jeans desperately,...

"Trick Or Treat!"

Neenee Hu

Written by Neenee Hu "Trick or treat!"The doorbell rings in my ear, echoing the voices. A pair of children, it seems, is at my door. They must want candy. All children do.And when I swing open the door, bowl of treats in hand, it seems I am correct.Here stand two little girls, wearing little headdresses strung through their ponytails. One has stitches all over her face. The other just has one scratched through the middle of her nose, from her chin to her temple.I fish out two candy bars and offer one to each girl. The smaller of the two boun...
