I let out a blood-curdling scream. “Let go of me!” I yell as I am dragged by my ponytail. I’m kicking and trying to break free, but it’s not working. Their grip is too strong. I won’t be surviving this trip.
Daily Torture (Scrape)
Krrrrrrrnk Krrrrrrrnk The sound is torture to my ears. It’s why she does it. My headache increases as she continues to scrape the knife against the metal. I don’t know how long she’s been doing this since I woke up, but it feels like ages. Finally, the sound stops. I take a chance and crack …
The Ritual Sacrifice (Salty)
The knife in my hand trembles. My sobs forcefully shake my body. The tears stream down my face leaving a salty taste in my mouth. I can't do this anymore. How many times am I going to sacrifice a piece of myself for him? He doesn't love me. He's just using me. Yet, I still …
A New Age (Fowl)
If you had told me when I was a teenager, that in ten years I would have to teach students how to fight against a flock of fowls rather than to write an essay, I would have laughed in your face. It’s not a laughing matter. When the first wave of chickens began attacking their …
Horror Cliche (Armadillo)
Yawning, I try to keep my focus on the road. I knew it was a mistake to leave this late at night, but I just got so distracted. I yawn again, this time my eyes watering. I blink to get rid of the tears. My vision cleared just in time for me to see an …
The Room (Empty)
I get out of my car after a long drive home. I hate the commute, but it's a price I'm willing to pay to live further away from people. As I head inside my house, I notice that it seems quieter than normal. Putting my stuff down, I head to a room at the back …
Society Takeover (Kind)
Power can be so addicting. I can easily make anyone obey. The people in this society are so unthinking. Have you ever wanted to twist a kind soul? Give them a taste of strength, and then take it away? It can send them into a spiraling black hole. The weakest in mind are so easy …
Haunting Memories (Forget)
I close my eyes, my hands gripping my hair. I tighten my hands enough to cause pain, but it doesn’t work. I still remember. How could I be so stupid? Why am I so worthless? I just want to forget, but the images keep flashing across my mind. The memories won’t leave me be. I …
Training (Eagle)
I complete the hardest task under the eagle eye of my mentor. I'm nervous. She's the strictest mistress here, and one wrong move under her eye spells my end. With a slight tremble in my hand, I clutch the knife tighter. I move to cut at the body, still wriggling around. This is the first …
A Deadly Meeting (Crabby)
We're entering into our third hour of what was supposed to be a one hour meeting, and I'm getting irritated. I feel my eye twitching increase as another speaker is introduced. Each one was only supposed to speak for 10 minutes to give a brief introduction to their specialty. Instead, they have droned on for …
