A Short Story : A Story?

Sarah Montgomery sat on the small ledge by the window seat, watching longingly as happy children walked home from school. Murphy was on her lap, whom she was petting gently. Sarah took one last glance out the window before heading downstairs, with Murphy following at her heels.

Leaving the motel on Highway 74 around 3:00 o’clock, Marlene drove faster than usual to get home ahead of Jerry and Andrew. Smiling, her thought lingered on the last few hours spent with her lover. Pulling into the garage, Marlene parked her Mercedes, brushed her hair put on fresh lipstick, before going into the house, relieved she was home when her husband and father-in-law arrived. Wanting to surprise them, she went into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, sat down at the counter and glanced through the mail.

The light was shining on Evangeline's face as she opened her eyes. Her head was throbbing and as she looked around her, she didn't know where she was at. It wasn't until she saw Mason and Casey sleeping beside her on the pillows that she remembered everything. The dancing and food and the new hideout. The alcohol and the laughing. The bright light. The loud noises. Everything. The world has died back to normal, no longer having the sharp clarity it had the night before. Her mouth was really dry though, so she climbed down the ladder, trying not to wake the others. She quietly crept to the mini-fridge in the corner of the room and pulled out a glass of water. They didn't have any Tylenol, so this would have to do for now. She ungraciously chugged the bottle of water and sighed, plopping down on the nearest beanbag and closing her eyes.

Athena was terrified. It was almost as if the wind was screaming at her as she was walking into the Forest. She was only going to take a few steps into the Forest. At least that’s whatshe thought. Athena could feel her heart beating in her chest so fast that she thought for a moment it was going to fly out. Slowly, she turned around, prepared to go back to her best friend. As soon as Athena turned around, the only thing she saw was shadowy trees, surrounding her, almost as if they were going to kill her.

“Everybody go downstairs to the church basement NOW!” ,bellowed Mrs.Bardell. Just as we were finishing the last song 3 gunshots went off, followed by a deathly scream outside of the church. Everybody hurried downstairs like little mice. We hid inside the old locker rooms. My heart was beating outside of my chest...and i’m sure everyone else's was too. It was hot and breezy down there. Ew. After about an hour there were policemen coming into the church to tell us that it is safe outside. I saw Mrs.Bardell and the policemen talking about something important. Her face looked terrified! Very curiously I kinda walked closer to hear what they were saying, but soon got called back by my best friend Zoey.

On a bright sunny day in the middle of summer I woke up wrapped in my warm fluffy blanket with a dog. With my mom saying, “Austin wake up your cousin will be coming visiting us.”

Twenty minutes later, he steps up to her apartment’s steps, pressing his finger against the button. After a loud buzz and a click, Ruby’s voice comes through.

Rather than answer, Jacob said, “What I meant was that I wish I didn’t know what I was going to do today. I always know what I have to look forward to, and it isn’t much. Practically nothing in fact.”

“Oh no, oh no…” she said as she started to harden. A chill went down her spine, as she now stood there, naked, in physical pain, covered in muscle balm, and completely erect. “Now’s not a good time,” she whispered to her own body.

He stood in the middle of a small, family-run farm, on the 29th March 1902, something that would be no problem for anyone else, except for the small detail that he was born in 1999 of course. The place around him were people chattering, making plenty of noise, but he focused on the girl sitting in front of him, as she smiled warmly at him. Somehow or other in just a matter of weeks he had managed to travel back in time, in the past that would’ve seemed like a storybook tale, but it wasn’t, it was reality.

Morning light, the natural alarm clock that tended to slap people into the reality that the safety of sleep was gone and the hell of morning had arrived. This morning felt like all the others, bright and way too early for Naomi to deal with. She tried to roll back over and go back into the safety of her dreams, but the light of the day was tugging at her eyelids to the point where she had to submit and open them. Looking around her humble room, nothing seemed out of place until she had fully woken up. The only thing out of place in the room was her, this wasn’t her bedroom but, she didn’t know what her room should look like. She knew that something was wrong and for the life of her she could not figure out what was wrong. She quickly looked around and was thankful to find a mirror that would allow her to fully look herself over while she racked her brain, which was still waking up for the day, for information about what happened the night prior. In the mirror she focused on her face, it was definitely her face with it’s dimple on the cheek and the bags under her eyes. Her eyes were still the familiar shade of brown that, in the light, looked like gold and other metallic hues had made their way into her irises. Turning her head from side to side she checked that she still had her two ears and felt her hair slide over her shoulders with each flip, the muted gold locks floated effortlessly around her shoulders as she grew more confused. She wasn’t restrained and she

Once Reborn entered the Police Station he was met with a man he had come to familiarize with through a phone, Police Sergeant Rin Matsuoka. You see, on the way over he pulled a few strings that would allow Kimura to be freed without charge. As an added bonus, it wouldn't be put on his record. The things he does for strangers.

As loved ones bowed their heads in respect for the lost one, puffs of smoke were manifested. Cannons went off, and arrows, into the sky; they descended due to gravity. And there was a Max Outer Layer, which sealed off the entire world for cleansing.

Vivian felt herself jump as the man's voice boomed behind her calling out her name. She didn't dare to turn him, even going as far to pretend she had not heard him right away but she could hear him feet pressing against the steps as he hurried up the stairs to confront her for her boredom.

The next morning I woke up in my bed but I don’t remember how I got into my bed but I thought whatever. I got up and got dressed in a longsleeve black shirt with a pair of blue jeans and a pair of sneakers with a large necklace to cover my neck and ran out the door so I wouldn’t have to see or speak to my father. I walked all the way to the school alone I was running a little late I walked in the building only to be met with the eyes of Henry, Victor, Belch and Patrick.” I stopped dead in my tracks and sped off past them not even looking any of them in the eye especially not Patrick. I ran straight to class and sat down in the back knowing Miss perfect and her squad of cheerleaders wouldn’t mess with me today then I started to think where was I going after school I couldn’t go home there’s no way I could go home. I was snapped out of my thoughts as the bell rang out and the teacher walked in as the last few students filed in I looked to the door and saw that Henry and Patrick were in my class. I sighed “Oh God no.” I looked down and out of the corner of my eye and saw Patrick point over to me then him and Henry walked over and Henry sat beside me and Patrick behind me. “Hello there Kitty Kat.” Patrick said and I started getting uncomfortable I started moving up forward moving my desk up only for it to be moved back. In the middle of the class while the teacher was talking I glanced over to Henry to see him staring at me and I whispered “What are you looking at Bowers?” He
