Ice Cold Rage

Simona Erminaite

Cold harsh wind raged against my face and I burrowed deeper into my furs. On normal days I loved the wind, even now I still do too, as the caress of the wind against my skin always reminded me that I was alive. It reminded me that humanity and our planet were still alive, that we still had air, and that people could survive even in the harshest conditions. The cold usually didn’t bother me either as I was used to it. We all were. The frigid climate was a norm now. However, today the wind felt just a touch colder and the weather just a bit cr...

Prophecy of the Sea

Simona Erminaite

Submitted to Contest #83

While growing up my mother always used to tell me a tale about a water spirit who had to fulfill a prophecy. The story went something like this: Long ago a small fraction of Moon fell into the Pacific Ocean. At the bottom of that ocean layed a body of a young noble girl that drowned in ship wreck years ago and the moon rock touched her. From this collision the dead girl was reborn in a form of a water spirit named Mira. She grew up in the seas and oceans roaming the world’s waters. Mira was immortal and for years she went from sea to sea ble...

Beneath the Ground

Simona Erminaite

Submitted to Contest #80

I’ve never seen the Sun or the clear sky. I’ve never heard the sound of the ocean or the song of birds. These are the things my mother used to tell me about while growing up. The sad thing is that I will never be able to see or hear them even if I dream about it every day. Some people say that I was lucky to be born when I was and where I was. Well, I’m not so sure myself. I was born in the midst of chaos that the Earth was into.Everything started about 25 years ago when the human population began growing uncontrollably. In two years the num...

I’ll Walk Through Hell for You

Simona Erminaite

Submitted to Contest #79

Jasmin is my best friend. No, she’s more than that. She’s like a sister to me and I would do anything to keep her safe and happy. And I did actually. When everyone lost hope and thought she couldn’t be saved anymore I didn’t give up and I never will give up on her. When we were little kids Jasmin and I started going to the same school. That’s where we first met. The thing is little kids can be brutal sometimes. My parents were drunks and abusers, they still are, so none of the kids wanted to do anything with me. My body was usually covered ...

Welcome to the New Age

Simona Erminaite

Submitted to Contest #78

I was walking through the crowded streets. The lights of electric billboards were flashing at every corner of the city. It looked as though nothing had happened, as though the city had already recovered. Unfortunately, the countryside didn’t look the same. It was still a wasteland that was going to need a lot more years to restore its natural landscape, to the scenery I used to see while growing up and loved to this day. I live in the countryside and was actually headed there right now but I got lost in my own thoughts. Suddenly a light bree...

Beyond the Space

Simona Erminaite

Submitted to Contest #77

I was sitting in front of the mirror, staring into my own eyes. They were violet. I was still not used to my looks. Truth be told, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this look. Golly, it’s been exactly a year already since it all happened. When I looked in a mirror a year ago I saw a reflection of an ordinary girl. I had messy light brown shoulder length hair bleached by the sun, freckles on my cheeks and crystal blue eyes. Well the only thing that looked out of the ordinary was that I had quite pale skin for a surfer, other than that I loo...

She's Hiding Horns

Simona Erminaite

Submitted to Contest #76

“Tell me who you are!” demanded a tall man flashing a light straight into my eyes in this dark room. He was standing in the shadows at a safe distance from me. “Oh, but you see, you wouldn’t believe me even if I did,” I purred innocently. “Well, try me. You never know, people might surprise you sometimes,” assured the man in his deep voice. “Yet, why do I still have a feeling that you won’t be one of those people? Riiight, it’s the fifth time I’m here in this exact situation,” I mocked the man. I was staring right into his shadowy figure and...

I keep moving

Simona Erminaite

Submitted to Contest #75

A lot can happen in only a year. People change and so did I. Last year I was only a high schooler that should have graduated that year. In school I was this popular girl with rich parents, good looks and her perfect little life. Or so everyone thought that my life was like that. Some wanted to be my friends for my status in society, others thought I was this mean girl and tried to stay as far away from me as possible. And let's be honest, everyone felt intimidated by me, even my 'so called' friends. They all thought I only cared about my loo...
